After just weeks of driving through Dunedin’s student quarter, a University of Otago employee’s vehicle has failed a warrant of fitness with tyres full of glass.
Amber Marshall thought she would take advantage of the quiet season by parking in Castle St North, closer to work than the staff parks near Forsyth Barr Stadium.
However, what she thought was a tactical decision paid off poorly when her new Mazda —with only about 40,000km on the odometer — failed a warrant because of unsafe tyres.
