The driver of a car which crashed, claiming the lives of two siblings, has boasted online about driving again as he touts illegal taxi rides.
Cameron Presland was behind the wheel of his illegally modified Honda Integra on May18 when he lost control and crashed on the Southern Motorway near Green Island.
Front-seat passenger Shannon Kiriau (22) and his sister Danielle (17) - the partner of Mr Presland - died at the scene.
Rear-seat passenger Caitlin Adams was taken to hospital with moderate injuries following the crash, while fellow rear-seat passenger Courtney Donald suffered serious injuries.
Police have yet to decide whether charges will be laid, but said at the time speed, alcohol, not wearing seat belts and the state of the vehicle - swapped for a van just days before the fatal smash - were all factors in the crash.
On Saturday night, a post attributed to Mr Presland on the Dunedin Sober Drivers' Facebook page offered ''cheap rides'' between Mosgiel and Dunedin.
''Two seats from mosi to town if anyone keen cheap az f...,'' the post read.
Mr Presland was on a learner's licence at the time of the crash, and is understood to have since lost his licence and regained it.
The reason for the loss of licence is not known, but regulations provide that if a driver accumulates 100 or more demerit points in any two-year period, their licence can be suspended for three months.
Southern District Police acting road policing manager Senior Sergeant Steve Larking confirmed there is no mandatory driver licence disqualification for a person involved in a fatal crash while an investigation is ongoing.
Neither police nor the New Zealand Transport Agency would comment on Mr Presland's current licence status, citing privacy issues.
On the social media website Ask.fm, a post attributed to Mr Presland says he only got his licence back last week.
''I don't see why getting it back is a big problem?'' the post read.
Mr Presland could not be reached for comment.
However, his mother told the Otago Daily Times her son had been advised by his lawyer not to say anything about the crash.
An online post attributed to Mr Presland said although he had not heard from police recently, ''at the end of the day lives were lost and I was operating the motor vehicle''.
''Car fault, road fault or my fault, I'd still be getting charged,'' the post read.
Asked for the status of that investigation, Snr Sgt Larking replied it was ''close to completion, with recommendations on the outcome being reviewed at a senior level''.
''As always with serious crashes with tragic consequences, this is an investigation that has required a high level of thoroughness,'' he said.
Shannon and Danielle's mother, Beverley de Blecourt, said the family were still struggling to come to terms with the double tragedy.
She declined to comment about Mr Presland.
Days after the crash, the ODT viewed screenshots of Mr Presland offering rides in his previous vehicle via the Facebook page, Dunedin Sober Drivers.
Police say they are continuing to monitor the page.
Users face a $10,000 fine if they are found offering unlicensed passenger services in exchange for cash.
