More problems with car rego system

Yet another glitch has hit the "new and improved" troubled car registration system.

Installed at the cost of $4 million, it was meant to herald a new age in which the cost of registering a car was linked to the safety of the vehicle.

Instead, it has delivered headaches and computer problems.

Customers at New Zealand PostShops this morning reported staff frustration over the New Zealand Transport Agency's car registration computers crashing under the weight of the new system.

NZTA has confirmed that its computer system which allows PostShops to issue registrations is malfunctioning.

"We can confirm that there have been some intermittent performance issues today with the system that NZ Post use to process vehicle licensing … transactions.

"We're working on resolving the issue as a matter of urgency."

The spokesman said motorists unable to renew at a NZ Post store have the option of renewing online at: www.nzta.govt.nz/renew.

Problems with the system have so far been restricted to the Accident Compensation Corporation, which bungled the cuts to at least 9000 motorists' car registrations.
