Stock photo: GettySome motorhome and horse truck owners are demanding the NZ Transport Agency drop a controversial clampdown, or pay the costs itself. However, many vehicle owners are sceptical about that, and of the reasons for the clampdown in the first place - like Mosgiel horse truck owner Charlotte Young. "Once Waka Kotahi realised the guidance was causing ambiguity for inspectors, it specifically announced that cab modifications needed certification," NZTA said. No solution yetA collective representing about 70 horse truck owners had its lawyer write to NZTA last week, outlining why they think the clampdown is misguided. 'Limbo'Barb Smith, of Dunedin, calls the agency "confused" and "hamstrung", with the result that her motorhome trip to Hamilton is stalled.
