Supplementary vehicle number plates for rear bike racks | Cycle ...

CAA understands that the police are about to clamp down on people carrying bikes on the back of their vehicles, thus concealing their number plates.   Of course we have all known that number plates must be clearly visible but up to now the police have turned a blind eye on those obscuring their number plates with bikes.

Below is the site that gives a solution to the problem.  Supplementary plates are now available from the NZ Transport Agency and cost $17.08.  Plus you can purchase at the same time a clear plastic ‘envelope’ for $11 that holds the plate and which straps to the bike/bike rack.   I suppose you can always make your own if you are so inclined but I am too lazy for that and always go for the easy option.  A CAA member recently rang them, ordered plates and plate holders for both family vehicles in about two minutes, and was told they would be delivered in about a week.
