    That doesn't seem fair

    I thought I'd start this up and see where it goes.

    A mate of mine recently got a yellow sticker on his truck. Couple of small issues which he fixed and took for inspection. All passed Ok EXCEPT the inspector pinged him becaust the fog lights on his roo bar didn't work. Here in WA fog light are not permitted to be used and my mate pointed this out. They came on the roo bar and as they are not to be used here, he had not even wired them up. Nope, not good enough.
    As they are there they have to be work, even though your not allowed to use them. Anyway he wireed them up and got passed and now has a prefectly legal truck even though some functions cannot be used.

    I remember years ago when living in Alice if your motor bike had indicators fitted they had to work.
    easier to remove them at the time and just use hand signals

    I don't know how true it is but my mate who does roadworthies in VIC said that if the car has a spare tyre in it, the tyre must be in roadworthy condition. But there is no problem if there is no spare.
    So when doing certificates and the car has a bald tyre as a spare he takes it out, passes the car and then puts the tyre back in.

    When I got the GU back to WA I had to put it over the pits for rego, due to not having the 3rd row of seats I was told that I had to remove the seatbelts before they would sign off on it and change it from a 7 seater to a 5 seater.
    If any members require assistance in anything regarding this forum, just let me know via a PM and I will help you in any way that I can.
