Rego :

[Bedfordcrazy]

I will probably regret saying this, but at least we dont have annual roadworthy inpections, what a scam that is, or was last time I got one in nsw, does it really get the death traps off the road ? Her is a Q. does anyone know how many states are like qld, and dont have roadworthy checks or are we the only ones. Just curious.

we in VIC only have roadworthys when the vehicle changes hands or is being put back on the road after its been de registed.. same as qld. SA from what i know only needs a rosdworthy if your pulled over and canaried.. WA i think is the same. NT?? ACT i think is same as VIC and QLD

In NZ we have a WOF (warrant of fitness).
Every six months and whenever a vehicle is sold. It costs about 40 or 50 dollars each time.
'Tiz good in that you know the ball joints etc are safe, but they can get very picky.
I knew someone whose truck failed because the windscreen washers were empty. (He changed mechanics after that)

Hey Jeff, the last time  I was in nsw for a roadworthy, they would pick on the slightest thing, the kicker was if you did not fix it, no rego, so guess who could fix it right then and there, you guessed it, mechanics down there had one great government sponsored money making machine. There was no use going to another guy to see if he missed it, it cost you more to shop around, then to just fix it. If they picked legit things fine, so far we dont have annual checks here in QLD, yet...

The bonus of yearly checks is the vans stay roadworthy, and as l just bought my van not long before christmas from N.S.W. got my R.W.C. today and it cost me jack shit. A exhaust rubber and ajust the front brakes. thank you N.S.W. $15 IN PARTS

unfortunatly i would have to say roadworthys every year in nsw is a major contributing factor to the reason why there are almost no vans left in nsw. cause it costs so much to keep them roadworthy.

And the cost.

A CFS V8 is usually in the higher 1504kg weight class. A standard CFL van is 30kgs over into the 1504kg weight class. $406, and then green slip on top of that, ouch.

And the Premier has just announced another rego rise to for a railway screwup:

My Suzuki Carry van is 780 kg so I miss out on paying the extra.
