Is it illegal in nz to advertise a for sale sign in your rear window?

Hi there,
A lot of councils are making it illegal to sell vehicles by the roadside, so it would pay to check in the area you're in, and also advertising in public places/ carparks can also be illegal. The other issue is that if you are driving around with a sign in the window, you are obstructing your vision and will be classed as a wof fail, and may even get pulled over by the traffic officer. http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/local-papers/hutt-news/10266591/Clamp-down-on-roadside-car-sales
