Bob – read 2.5, says "television screen" not "video screen" or "lcd screen". GPS units do not have television screens, so they are fine.

@Richard – Ya that’s what I thought at first, but then why would they have part 2.5(2)c that says about the television being designed only for navigations systems and the like. It looks like they didn’t put a definition of television in the definition section so it’s hard to tell. DO they mean something that can displayt a tv broadcast signal? I don’t think they’d be happy with someone watching a dvd on a built-in lcd screen just because it’s not a “television”.

@d3Xt3r – You're right, you're right. I've often said to people that that lion would be so much bigger and stronger if it chased a brussel sprout rolling down a hill, and ate it instead of meat.

@Abominus – Eating meat is bad for you.Take a carrot from the cup of carrots on the desk and ponder wisely.

Wait, wait wait. Am I missing something here? I was told in the past that GPS equipment is already illegal under the Vehicle Equipment Rule section 2.5 – http://www.landtransport.govt.nz/rules/vehicle-equipment-2004.html#25
I don’t see any changes to that, so why is that not considered now?

My bad on the petition post, wow, I guess NZ govt is making a really huge mistake if they go ahead with that law, I mean even with TomTom car kit, it must be illegal to use it (Or say Apps on iTunes store, Ovi Maps are all illegal LOL).

And I’ve seen Aussie law where it actually requires you to have a phone holder, otherwise it is illegal to use it and I have to agree with that because without a proper holder you cannot navigate well with the phone.
