Blue Day: Warrant

Warrant

It's that time of year again. I waited at our local VTNZ (Vehicle Testing New Zealand) to get a fresh warrant of fitness for my car which is a 2012 Mazda Demio. It's one of those good reliable cars that is very economical petrol wise. A warrant of fitness is something that every car in the country has to get yearly so I go to this one in town to get them to check mine over and they put a sticker on the front right side of the windscreen saying all is safe with an expiry date on it. It's a very popular place and had people constantly coming and going while I was waiting.
