I've just been informed of the latest Victorian roadworthy regulations .
You wont believe this .
The licensed tester has to take many detailed photographs of the vehicle before and after the test . The pics are then submitted to Vicroads .
Each testing staion now has to have the equipment to process all this stuff .Camera and computer ...
The VIN number has to be photographed ,any faults etc. It has to be stored for 7 years apparently
The cost to the car owner goes up heaps to pay for this beaurocratic nightmare .

This is going to force many older cars off the road... the process of obtaining a roadworthy for transfer of ownership will be a nightmare . Instead , the cars will be scrapped - I think thats what the RTA wants .
The next thing will be . The CH club rego system will now come under huge pressure as you dont need a formal roadworthy
at the moment in order to get your vehicle on the road
