Guides for car owners
The short answer first, then the detail and the source.
These guides answer the questions people ask before they hand over the keys. Each one names where the answer comes from at the foot of the page, so you can check it yourself.

How the guides are written
Each guide opens with the short answer and then explains it. Rules come from the agencies that set them, such as NZTA and Consumer Protection, and car advice from the makers and the motoring association.
Where the answer depends on your car, the guide says so and tells you where to look: the service book, the owner's manual or the sticker on the windscreen.
