I think apart from the pricing structure NSW system as awhole is much better than some other states, I travel in QLD all the time and the amount of unsafe vehicles with wobbly bits and broken down on side of freeways is absolutely staggering. One trip to Brisbane the kids counted 38 broken down vehicles on the side of the Pacific Hwy between coolangatta and the turbot street turnoff. We saw an F-100 broken in half so bad the sills were on the tar once at a busy intersection, overloaded with fresh produce aqnd rust holes, incredibly 6 months later we saw it again “repaired” and same old bloke driving to the markets, imagine what sort of brakes and handling it has, then imagiine it trying to stop from htting your car or a kid on a crossing.
No thanks I’ll take yearly inspections and enforceable insurances protects me and mine from absurd idiots who think it’s ok to drive unsafe vehicles into the public arena.

its not as bad as Qld down here, the jacks will pull you up quick smart if you look dodgy and slap a “canary” (inspection certificate) on your car/bike straight away. then your knackered, your car cannot be driven, even home, it must be towed (on a truck, no flat towing allowed) and you must get a roady…..and no dodgy mecho will touch you when you have one of those as they can be audited.

it was good in the old days before computers, you could get one on friday night, boil the kettle saturday mornin, and steam it off your windscreen.

then i would stick it to my fridge door:P

the fridge was covered in them.:woohoo: :woohoo:

mind you, my car wasnt a piece of sh!t, it was a full rally datsun 1600. the police just didnt seem to like my hydraulic handbrake or the turbo FJ20 that i shoehorned in, or the 4″ sidepipe, or my 10 point cage or my race harnesses or my battery in the boot or my 4000 watts of driving lights, let alone the various other mods, all engineered by myself ofcourse.

then i rolled it and sold it:woohoo:

they didnt like my 11.1sec XY much either…..

and they really took a disliking to my v8 cortina…..

ahhh, the memories……

so now i drive a 4WD, like a grandpa of course;)

Bet ya miss the old datto though! What a ripper!

[dennis da menaceMember]

Won`t matter at all soon, as apparently QLD is aligning with others on the rego, green slip & inspection fronts!!!! This will make unviable to rego a vehicle interstate to save the $$$

This I heard from my relos in Brisvegas & my parents that live in Yamba with QLD rego on caravan & car etc

Unsure if this is 100% but it has been on the cards at government level for some time , apparently:unsure:
