It is quite clear that you shouldn't use your car to travel to call in and see your friends and visit them for dinner or whatever. Are people just stupid, ignorant or think that they are above the law and the restrictions don't apply to them? This is especially when using a car with business name on it so that everyone knows who they are.

Moves to develop a plan for the sector were today announced by Davis who said he expected to receive advice on the work in the next couple of weeks.
“A post-Covid tourism industry will play an important role in New Zealand’s economic recovery, but it will be different to the one that we are accustomed to. There will be new challenges, new opportunities and a new way of working,” Davis said.

This includes hunting, fishing, tramping, swimming, surfing and boating - “or other activities of a kind that expose participants to danger or may require search and rescue services.”
Writes Nicole McKee, spokesperson for the campaign: “Our lawyers have studied the new Order... In short, Police do have the ability to stop you from going hunting and can enforce this ban.”
She added she was making no comment, “but with the roar upon us” thought she had better publicise the fact.
The number of injuries, fatalities and search and rescue missions spike dramatically during this period every year.
According to the NZ Mountain Safety Council, almost one third of search and rescue missions happen in April, along with about 30 per cent of hunting fatalities. It's also when 19 per cent of all injuries happen.
During March to May (the roar or the rut) hunters trek into New Zealand's backcountry to find red stags that are actively and aggressively competing with each other for access to hinds for mating - which includes roaring aloud to warn off competitors.
The order expires at midnight on April 22 April 2020 unless revoked earlier or extended.
