Hi all,

Maratoto was the hot topic at last month’s club meeting, with

John Hickey the NZFWDA northern zone president in atten-

dance (thanks John). The NZFWDA has expressed that they

wish to be the signing entity on any partnership agreement that we have with DOC. That process is

still on-going but it seems like progress is being made, slowly. The project is in their capable hands,

so for now we just have to wait, and we will help out when and where we are needed.

It feels like the uphill battle to keep 4wheeling on DOC land is getting increasingly steeper. The re-

cently released DOC CMS document for the Waikato region doesn’t have much provision for 4wd

use. Hearing that DOC are now encouraging community groups to take on projects on DOC land is

good, but at the same time it seems we are being asked to jump through more hoops than ever. It

makes you wonder if it will get to a point where it’s just too hard, and maybe it already has at

Waitawheta with a cost of necessary repairs over $100k? I guess that is just even more reason why

we need to do things right at Maratoto.

The trip with the Waikato 4WD Club on labour weekend was a great weekend - a big thank you to

the Waikato people for inviting us and hosting us at their awesome playground. You can’t help being

envious, when you see what great tracks they have access to, and so close to home. Serge had a rough

weekend, getting a ticket on the way there (something about a-framing an un-warranted vehicle,

which conflicts the advice he got from NZTA), and then suffering a CV breakage early on. Everyone

else appeared to be enjoying themselves (how could you not!), even those, who shall remain name-

less, who vowed they were never going to do this type of 4wheeling ...it’s funny how these things in-

evitably change.

The Christmas trip is only a month away now. This year we are returning to Limestone downs, which

is a property south of Port Waikato, the next property south from the venue for the recent Rosehill

Safari. It will of-course include the usual chocolate log, and also some sausages to throw on the BBQ.

See you out on the tracks,

Jeremy

Trip Gradings A minimum of a first aid kit, 2kg fire extinguisher (or 2 x 1kg), recovery strap and a spade are to be carried on all trips. It is useful to have a suitably sized block of wood to place under your jack to prevent it sinking in soft ground when changing tyres. If your spare tyre is under your vehicle it may be handy to secure it safely in the back as you often can’t get it from underneath in 4x4 track conditions. Important note: when making ‘snatch recoveries’ ensure you use a ‘snatch strap’ with some stretch and not a ‘tow strap’ with no stretch and use suitable rated recovery points! Never recover using a tow ball, remove it and attach strap with a rated shackle, (Shackle to be 3.2 tonne or better, recovery hook to be fastened with 2x 12mm bolts, grade 8.8 or imperial equivalent). Please note that the grade shown for a track may vary and be slightly easier or harder than description, due to changes in weather and track conditions since last visited. To avoid disappointment on the day, it is advised that you talk with the trip leader beforehand to get the latest track update and discuss your vehicle and capabilities.

Grade 1 - Easy (Scenic/social/touring)

• Novice drivers with little or no four wheel driving experience required.

• Easy driving on sealed and unsealed roads, no rough tracks and road or all terrain tyres.

• Minimal chance of paint scratching.

• Good family outing for people wanting to ease their way into four-wheel driving (more of a touring style of driving with a

destination in mind).

Grade 2 - Intermediate

• Drivers with some 4wding experience, that have driven off-road on farms, beaches, etc.

• Easy off-road tracks, some mud, all-terrain tyres or better, Hi and Low range 4wd,rated front and rear recovery points, basic

recovery gear (snatch strap, 2 rated shackles, gloves and spade) and appropriate driver knowledge, as snatch strap recovery may be necessary. Most obstacles are able to be by-passed if drivers wish too.

• A small chance of light paint scratching.

These are the tracks all standard 4wd’s should be capable of and why you own a 4wd.

Grade 3 - Medium

• Drivers with moderate and sound 4wding knowledge and experience, who are comfortable with slippery driving conditions.

• Steeper terrain, rutted tracks, with close obstacles to manoeuver around. Snatch recovery is likely to be required.

• Mud terrain tyres preferred, road tires are not acceptable (mud terrain tyres for wet weather conditions).

• Rated front and rear recovery points, basic recovery gear (snatch strap, 2 rated shackles, gloves and spade), and appropriate

driver knowledge.

• Some scratching or minor scrapes possible.

• These tracks are ideally suited to those who enjoy 4wding in most conditions, don’t mind the odd scratch and have fitted

mud terrain tyres.

• Winches are not necessary on all vehicles; this will be at the trip leader’s discretion depending on weather conditions.

Grade 4 - Hard

• Confident, experienced drivers in all aspects of 4wding.

• Rough tracks, muddy, steep and slippery terrain, rocks, deep water, snatch and winch recovery likely. Rated recovery points

front and rear, mud terrain tyres or better, and a winch along with relevant recovery gear (snatch strap, rated shackles, tree trunk protector, winch rope dampener, gloves and spade).

• Some vehicle damage may be likely.

• These trips are great for experienced drivers with well-equipped 4wd’sthat have increased ground clearance and vehicle pro-

tection, capable of self-recovery if necessary.

Grade 5 - Extreme

• Very experienced drivers able to handle self-recovery and the harshest conditions, where anything may arise.

• Very steep, deeply rutted tracks or rock hopping will be encountered. Front and rear recovery points (rated), full recovery

gear (snatch strap, rated shackles, tree trunk protector, winch extension, winch rope dampener, drag chain, gloves, spade and spares), and appropriate driver knowledge.

• Winching will be expected and an electric or motorised winch is compulsory on all vehicles.

• Aggressive mud terrain or Simex style tyres are essential.

• Warning: Vehicle damage is likely to occur.

• These trips are for heavily modified 4wd’s and experienced drivers only. This category describes trips that are at competition

level.

4 wheeling in the Waikato Labour Weekend

This trip was organised by Ed Belt, on Saturday there were five vehicles from the Auckland club and around seven from the Waikato club and less on Sunday. Someone suggested we go down Friday night however we decided Friday’s traffic

would be diabolical so we left early Saturday morning before the holiday makers got up. Nathan and I had an easy run through taking just over an hour to reach our destination. We were instructed to be ready to start 4 wheeling at 9am and arrived in plenty of time to set up. We counted ourselves lucky we had such a good trip as we were A Framing a vehicle down and another club member following us was stopped, issued with a ticket and told he could not continue. Details are sketchy. Someone had to double back and trailer his vehicle in for him. Not really sure exactly where to

go when we reached the end of the road we stopped and began to prepare for the 4 wheeling. One of the locals arrived and directed us on to the pri-vate property. I was the leader day one with a Waikato man behind me as he did not have a winch. The tracks were mostly, re-markably dry with a few very heavy tracks with deep mud holes. We did a lot of winching through bogs end-ing up at the Trigg Station where we had lunch. Fol-lowing lunch we repeated the track but in the opposite direction by then with the traffic the bog holes were deeper muddier and more challenging. With lots of towing and winching. There was only one tragedy

a broken CV come to think if it, it just wasn't his weekend as he was the participant who was issued the ticket for the A Frame. We emerged at around 6.30pm collected trail-ers, A Frames etc and headed to our camp site some 2-3 km further on. The camp was next to a clean stream the big Bon-fire was going as some of the Waikato Club had raced ahead and organised this.

We all set about preparing our dinner and then sat around the fire, a few beers drunk and a lot of BS shared as you can imagine. Nathan was taking photos of the the skywriting he had taught the

children, very impressive. We hit the hay around 10pm it was freezing. I had five blankets blow that being tied down in a sleeping bag too much like a coffin. I was cosy in the roof tent. Slept like a baby. 7am I emerged from the roof tent took my winch man a coffee and set about organising a simple breakfast. We were all set for the 9am role call. A Waikato Club Member led us on Sunday. A few new people had joined us from the Waikato Club. We drove tracks through the bush with steep climbs which were overgrown they had not been used for sometime. Not so much mud Sunday but more sharp bends into creeks etc. towing and winching was minimal compared to Saturday. The weather was great the whole weekend. We got away around 4pm we didn't want to be on the road when the police were there and un-derstood changeover was around that time suspecting if they saw us and

our A Frame we might be targeted. stopping for coffee at Ngaruawahia on the return journey. Arriving home around 6pm All we had to show for the trip was a cracked windscreen a broken winch cable, Plenty of mud on the vehicle and our clothes and big smiles on our faces!

Kerikeriki trip aftermath – legal matters (part 1)

I was waiting for that trip to put in test my Hilux after replacing completely destroyed CV

joint on previous Waitawheta trip. I finished preparation quite late and was hoping for a

good day out.The weather was great on that morning and everything promised enjoyable

day in the bush. I towed my Hilux with A-frame and everything was fine up to last 5 miles to

destination. I was stopped by Police Officer and as result – Infringement notice.

In my defence I wrote the following letter:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I’m writing this letter with regards to infringement notice V1723602 and would like to raise

a matter concerning the circumstances of alleged offences for your consideration please.

On 25th

of October the Police officer (number TAY754) stopped me on state highway 23

near Whatawhata while I was towing the utility truck Toyota Hilux with registration number

UL4931 using an A-frame.

The second offence on this notice says “Drove vehicle with temporary exemption from con-

tinuous licencing”

I would like to clarify that I didn’t drive Toyota Hilux with registration UL4931 – I was towing it and I don’t understand

why police officer accused me with something that I didn’t do. I believe that this offence is not applicable to this situa-

tion because I was driving Toyota Land Cruiser with registration number LLUCKY and that car was with current WoF

and registration and I couldn’t drive two cars simultaneously. Auckland 4WD club president Jeremy Walker can witness

this because on that day I was following him.

Also I would like to add that according to NZ Transport Agency regulations: http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/

factsheets/27/exempt-vehicles-from-registration-and-licensing.html

“a motor vehicle normally propelled by mechanical power that is being temporarily towed without use of its own

power is exempt from registration” – which is applicable to my case and allowed me to tow Toyota Hilux with registra-

tion number UL4931 legally on that day.

The first offence says “No evidence of current vehicle inspection – private vehicle”

Once again according to NZ Transport Agency regulations:

http://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/introduction/inspection-and-certification-process/

establishing-whether-the-vehicle-requires-a-wof-or-cof

Paragraph 3.3.3 Vehicle that do not require a WoF or CoF

i) a vehicle normally propelled by mechanical power while it is being temporarily towed without the use of its own

power

I believe that this offence is also applicable to the driven vehicles only and is not applicable to my case.

I also spoke to NZ Transport Agency officer about a year ago asking specific question about towing a vehicle with an A-

frame without WoF and registration and the officer confirmed that it’s legal and mentioned links above.

When police officer stopped me on 25th

of October I told him that according to NZTA regulations it was legal to tow my

vehicle without WoF and registration and asked him to call his superior, but officer refused doing that saying that he

didn’t need to because he know the law. After he mentioned that it’s even illegal to tow vehicle without WoF on the

trailer I understood that it’s

pointless to argue with him.

I hope you will review my situa-

tion and drop this case because

I believe that I didn’t commit

any of alleged offences men-

tioned in infringement notice

V1723602.

Thank you for your considera-

tion.

I thought that my reasoning

was logical enough and I was

hoping that the Infringement

Bureau officer will reconsider

and accept my excuses.

I was so wrong and naïve – in-

stead I received the letter with

more accusation, thread and

misleading information.

As last resort I wrote a letter to

NZTA and I’m hoping that they

will clarify the situation.

Dear Sir/Madam

I would like you to help me

with some clarification on us-

ing a vehicle on road and ex-

emption from Registration,

Licensing and WoF please.

I bought last year Toyota Hilux with no WoF and with a rego on-hold. I was going to use it for recreational 4WD activi-

ties. As far as I understand I didn’t need registration, licensing or WoF for driving it on private land.

Last year I called NZTA and spoke to one of your officers asking if I could tow with A-frame my Toyota Hilux with no

WoF and with rego on-hold on public road and she confirmed that I could referring me to Factsheet 27.

After our 4WD club president clarified that only registered and warranted trucks can be used on DOC land I bought

another truck – Nissan Safari as my primary 4WD truck and still didn’t decide what to do with Toyota Hilux. In a mean

time I keep putting rego for Hilux on hold in case if I decide to get WoF sorted and truck licensed in the future or sell it

as is.Last month our club had a trip to private land in Waikato and because my Safari was broken I used my Hilux and

temporarily towed it with A-frame on public road. I was stopped on SH23 and Police Officer give me a ticket with 2

offences: “Drove vehicle with temporary exemption from continuous licencing” and “No evidence of current vehicle

inspection – private vehicle”.

I wrote the letter to Infringement Bureau explaining circumstances and asking them to reconsider. I mentioned to

them that I spoke about this matter to NZTA officer and also stated in my letter that “according to NZ Transport

Agency regulations:

http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/factsheets/27/exempt-vehicles-from-registration-and-licensing.html

“a motor vehicle normally propelled by mechanical power that is being temporarily towed without use of its own

power is exempt from registration” – which is applicable to my case and allowed me to tow Toyota Hilux with registra-

tion number UL4931 legally on that day.”

I received reply from Bureau and they wrote me that:

“By utilising an A frame you are in law using this vehicle in a road and we have enclosed the legal definition of using.

Use, in relation to a vehicle, includes driving, drawing, or propelling by means of another vehicle, and permitting to be

on any road; and to use and user have corresponding meanings:

If the NZTA had been aware of the fact this is not a Class EA vehicle we are sure their advice would have been different

to you.”

I would like to clarify that I didn’t apply for Class A (EA) exemption – I just used your website and applied for tempo-

rary exemption from continuous licensing (putting license (rego) on hold).

Honestly I’m surprised that Police officers don’t know that in this case vehicle is automatically is getting Class A(EA)

exemption.

In their letter to me the Bureau officer wrote:

“Firstly we believe the towed vehicle UL4931 has been wrongly licenced as a Class EA exempt vehicle when it clearly

does not fit any criteria for that exemption [see highlighted document].”

And as evidence they sent me Factsheet 27.

I am a reasonable man and I used to use logic and common sense in most of situations and to me logic is very simple:

Vehicle can be:

Unregistered and unlicensed (without WoF)

Registered, but unlicensed (with or without WoF)

Registered and Licensed (with or without WoF)

If current legislation allows “a motor vehicle normally propelled by mechanical power that is being temporarily towed

without use of its own power is exempt from registration” – I cannot see the reason why the same legislation cannot

be applied to Registered and unlicensed or Registered and Licensed vehicles as well.

I appreciate your help. Thank you very much. Kind regards,

Serge Onishchuk

So now I have to options:

Pay $350 before 23rd

of November

Deny liability for the offence and request a court hearing

One part of me would like to go ahead with court hearing and sort out this issue once and forever, but another one

doesn’t want to pay more in case of failure.

I’m still in process of making decision.

(to be concluded) Cheers, Serge

Well once again Tony Smith and I were fool hardy enough to enter this years Manukau event. The property at Onewhero was just fantastic. This year a few new tracks were on of-fer and again a few of the usual stream runs and hill climbs. The weather kept most of the usual spectators away so there is not much video footage or pics out there on the net (probably a good thing hehehe) After making some improvements to Tony’s truck we were looking forward to getting a bit further up the rankings than last years effort and also not spending any time under the hood or grovelling under the chassis. On both those counts it was a success. The Pretzel performed flawlessly all thru the event and we bettered our effort having completed all the stages with only a few penalties… And those weren't mine ! Eh Tony….. So Friday saw us set up camp with Steve Reed and Steve Green. Steve G dragged his caravan along which was a god send offering a dry rendezvous for us to all gloat about or rue our efforts during the weekends event. There were 3 night stages for us to cut our teeth on the Friday. The first one for us was half of a track we did last year so was familiar territory. It was a sim-ple dash over the paddock, thru a stand of trees, up and over a bluff and down the hill into a tree thicket to collect a ball from a bucket and return along the same path to deposit the ball in a bucket in the finish box. We flew thru it with no winching and got the monkey off our backs however we did knock the ball bucket over… But no penalties phew. The second run started with a bog then a tour of the farm… Some went head long thru the bog which resulted in a winch. However a change of line enable you to skirt around the bog and keep on going with no winching. We followed this same tactic on our run and completed the course with no issues and we even managed to spot Steve Reeds snatch block laying in the grass… It apparently jumped out of his tool box during his run. Lucky no marshals saw that. The last night stage was a run thru very tight trees. Steve went first in his cut down SWB Nis-san but alas this didn't really help him as he had to do numerous 3 and 4 point turns to get around the track. Lucky for us the Pretzel was a bit more nimble and we had a ball weaving thru the trees only having to realign one or twice. And guess what !! We all made it out with no 2 am finishes… Next morning saw the rain arrive. It showered on and off all day. Not enough to make it nasty but just enough to make it interesting. Especially for some of the spectators running around on AT tyres… On offer were 9 stages for the day. Some of which were the same tracks from last year and some modified with a few new ones.

We were directed to be the first truck off on our first track of the day. This track having never been driven before. Not sure if this was a good thing or bad. It started off with a steep drop into a gut and up and out into a flat area which was basically a muddy bog area. Being first we got an easier run thru this but those who followed had the potential of getting really hung up until the bank was cut out. Next was a run down to a stream, climb out but before I could set the winch I had to untangle the rope as it had jumped off the drum and around the shaft. So here I was kneeling in the stream trying to unhook it all….. Once I got that sorted we were off and winching. Being first the bank out of the stream was still steep and Tony didn't like how it was tipping him over… This was the only time I heard in his voice and concern… Especially when I told him it looks ok … I think….

Ahhh but the wheel soon popped over and he was level again and feeling better. Once up and over we had to negotiate down a steep muddy drop off and then back along the stream with a final winch out into the box. Phew we did our first run of the day and completed it unlike last year DNF ing. The next few tracks were much the same, each resulting in at least one winch. One track had me herding some cows out of our path and using the ground anchor. The Pretzel performed admirably. Both Tony and I were still talking to each

other… Always a good thing. We had a ball and cemented our tactics and confidence in each other as a team. Thank you to the Manukau club for hosting this event and the land owner for the use of the farm. And also those marshals and volunteers behind the scenes...
