Paranoia
Mike what are you trying to do? We have a very good club permit scheme in Victoria. 45 and 90 day permits. Better than any previous schemes we have ever had. The roadworthy requirements are designed to get the shitheaps off the road. i.e. the modern rust buckets and bombs owned by people who could not give a shit about what they drive or how it mght impact on other road users. I have friends in the trade doing roadworthys. they have to cop the extra baggage but as Tim Scivens says they will pass on the costs Big deal, welcome to Carbon Tax Havana! (Similar not the same). The old motoring hobby will not be impacted. We are too small in the big scope of motoring things. Studies have shown that roadworthiness of vehicles actually plays a very tiny part inroad crashes. One of the reasons that compulsory roadworthy testing on a yearly basis has not been introduced inVictoria. Aside from the corruption that it would obviously introduce.
Vic Roads is nothing more than another tax collection body. The extra crap surrounding roadworthy testing isjust justifying the costs involved. Take a pill and chill out. It won't affect you. Or us.
