Australian VSI50 is back with a vengance.

Post by MikeL200 »

This is what is happening over in NSW, if they do it - how long before it comes in over here?

James Brooks Insider information (from reliable informed industry sources) is that the proposed NSW laws are being driven by at least two powerful people: - one guy is an ex police big chief, - the other is an ex WorkCover big chief. The mentality is (quote) "why do you need to modify cars anyway". ... The mentality is that it will be too difficult/impossible and unpalatable for owners to own modified vehicles and drive on the road, and/or making RTA certifiers do their job properly by the amount of accountabilty they will inherit via enormous liabilities. I understand any modification will be criticised. This includes details down to not being able to increase the rolling diameter of tyres no more than 15% from factory standard. Many existing vehicles will have extreme difficulties in being registered. I understand even now, many owners with vehicles that carry proper NSW RTA certification/s as modified vehicles are receiving letters from the RTA demanding that the vehicle and the owner attend RTA checking stations for inspections. On arrival for inspection the car is taken into the closed RTA workshop while the owner is told to wait outside while the inspection takes place. Should any defects be found the plates are removed, a list made up and the owner is instructed to remove the vehicle until resolved. The only way to try to stop this happening is for every one to hammer the minister day and night. Don't forget should the new laws be implemented several entire industries (accessories, body builders, spare parts etc etc) will immediately collapse.
