Description

Local historians weekly "Back Issues" article in the Manawatū Standard. On 30 July 1979, the Muldoon-led National Government introduced a scheme intended to save fuel. Everyone in the country had to nominate a day of the week on which they would not drive their car. Many people applied for exemptions, whilst others switched to riding bicycles and small motorcycles, which were exempt from the scheme.
