We had two cars so carless days was really ineffective at reducing our fuel consumption. My dad ran his own business and on Sundays we used to go out quoting jobs in the family car, so we just made sure that the family car had a mid-week sticker on it and the other vehicle, being a work vehicle had a Sunday sticker on it. We also had friends who worked in the MOT and we could get a few 'replacement' stickers if we needed them. i.e. with what-ever day you wanted! Best thing the government ever did was scrapping the scheme - poorly thought out, no community consultation (pretty part and parcel with how the NZ government operates really) and punished those at a disadvantage. Just another scheme to get the NZ people hating the government even further. "Rob Muldoon before he Robs you" was a common catch cry and with good reason. Geeze - I can still see his face now, speaking out one side of his mouth with that "ahhhh, bla bla bla talk". He was like Ceasar - great thinker, poor implementer when it came to rallying the people.
