Dunedin police have flagged 35 vehicles as unsafe after a joint operation with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said the operation targeting modified, dangerous and unsafe vehicles took place on Friday evening.
Pink stickers were given to 15 vehicles while seven received green stickers, he said.
The remaining 12 received infringement notices or advice.
Police would continue to ensure roads were safe and they would stop and check vehicles to make sure they were road worthy, Snr Sgt Bond said.

Considering the number of modified vehicles (particularly those with tyres and wheels extending well beyond the guards) I see pretty much every Friday and Saturday night doing laps up and down Andersons Bay Rd, I'm surprised that such a small number were located in that operation. I hope the NZ Police and Waka Kotahi conduct more operations like this. These dangerous vehicles shouldn't be on the roads anyway but so many of the owners & drivers thumb their nose at the rules knowing they won't be caught.
