Warrent of fitness(WoF)

WOF(Warrent of fitness, 자동차 점검 보증서)는 차량이 필수 안전 표준을 충족하는지 정기적으로 점검하는 것입니다.
차량을 항상 WoF를 통과했던 상태로 유지하는 것이 기본입니다. 예를 들어, 점검날에는 타이어가 아무 이상없이 통과될 수 있지만, 트레드가 최소 깊이에 도달하는 즉시 교체해야 합니다. 다음 점검일까지 기다리면 사고나 벌금에 처할 위험이 높아집니다.

 

WOF 날짜
2000년 1월 1일 또는 이후 세계 어느 곳에서나 처음 등록한 차량은 평생 동안 연간 WoF가 필요합니다.
새 차량의 경우 첫 점검 후 3년까지는 WoF가 필요하지 않습니다.
WOF 기간은 차량의 뉴질랜드 또는 해외에 처음 등록한 날짜를 기준으로 계산되며, 아래 표에 자세히 설명되어 있습니다.

 

WoF장소
뉴질랜드에는 약 3,200여 명의 WoF 검사관이 있습니다.

 

아래의 차량을 운전은 불법입니다

  • WOF 요구 사항 불충족
  • WOF 유효일자 만료

이러한 상황에서는 차를 수리하거나 새 WoF를 발급받아야 도로에서 운전할 수 있습니다.

 

영장 검사에 적용되는 내용
WoF는 기본적인 안전 점검입니다. 점검된 사항은 VIRM(Vehicle inspection requirements manual, 차량 검사 요구 사항 매뉴얼)에 명시되어 있으며 다음을 포함합니다.

  • 타이어 상태 (트레드 깊이 포함)
  • 브레이크 작동
  • 차체 외관(특정 지역에서는 녹이 허용되지 않음)
  • 라이트
  • 유리(윈드 스크린 안전 유무)
  • 윈드스크린 워셔 및 와이퍼
  • 자동차문(안전 개폐 여부)
  • 안전벨트(작동이 안되거나, 색이 바랬거나, 버클이 제대로 작동안되는 경우 불합격)
  • 배기(누출이 없어야 하며 배기구에 연기가 자욱하거나 원래의 배기 시스템보다 소리가 크지 않아야 함)
  • 에어백(장착 시)
  • 속도계 (작동 중이어야 함)
  • 스티어링 및 서스펜션(안전하고 고정되어 있어야 함)
  • 연료 시스템(누출이 없어야 함)

자동차, 오토바이, 밴 또는 기타 경자동차를 개조한 경우 저용량 차량 인증서가 필요할 수 있습니다.

 

WOF 해당되지 않는 사항
WoF는 사전 구매가 안됩니다. 여기에는 차량의 상태 영역이 많이 포함되지 않는데 예를 들어 다음과 같은 점검입니다.

  • 엔진, 클러치, 변속 장치 및 디퍼렌셜 상태
  • 윤활유 수준 및 상태
  • 브레이크 패드 두께 또는 기대 수명(안전 한계보다 눈에 띄게 낮은 경우는 제외)
  • 페인트 컨디션 및 차체 이외의 녹

 

WOF 라벨
차량이 WOF를 통과하면 검사관이 앞 유리 내부 운전자 측에 WOF라벨을 부착합니다. 만료일 전에 다음 WOF를 받아야 합니다.

 

WOF 불합격
수리 또는 새 WOF를 받기 위해 차량을 다른 곳으로 가져가야 하며, 그렇게 해도 안전합니다.
