Coming home last night I followed a huge truck "thing" that had a large warning sign on it advising it was performing Skid Testing.

 

As I got closer I noticed the rear licence plate was a yellow UK plate* and I wondered if you could drive in New Zealand with UK plates.

 

I am assuming it is legal as this truck had on its side a sign for NZTA (at least I think - I only just saw it)

 

 

 

My Google search isn't helping me find answers

 

 

 

* Pretty sure it wasn't a vanity plate as it had 7 characters and was not in the New Zealand standard [letter, letter, number x4] or [letter, letter, letter, number x3]

I've seen a couple of foreign plated vehicles being driven in NZ as temporary imports under a "carnet de passages".

 

"A temporary vehicle import is a vehicle that is brought into New Zealand by a resident of another country, usually for a maximum of 12 months, while remaining registered in its country of origin. The vehicle must be exported from New Zealand within the allowed temporary entry period."
