Some hot air from Uber in light of NZTA acting against its drivers.
Uber has not said if it will pay the fines issued to its drivers but has issued a statement saying it will stand by them.
"No one should be penalised for providing safe, reliable rides in their city, and we will stand by our driver-partners 100 percent.
"We hope the government recognises that these local drivers are looking to earn a flexible income and decides to support them by creating regulations that open up economic opportunity and choice."

NZ alternative app/service in the works.
Leon Kang, director of UrbanNZ, said the new service would match Uber fares and compete with the international transport app on "credibility and reliability".
"We are making it mandatory for all prospective drivers to have background checks, medical checks and get a proper passenger endorsement under NZ Transport Agency rules," said Kang, who drives for Uber at present. "Quite a number of Uber drivers have expressed interest in joining us, but we will be screening who we take on."
