RTA has gone, soon to be roads and maritime services? Has anyone heard about this? And they are trying to get rid of modified cars? Hopefully this isn't true. Roads and maritime?? ................ maybe I'll put an evinrude in the van..........

What a bloody joke.

It's just rationalisation of government departments. If it results in any job cuts I'll be surprised, frankly. These amalgamations are done with the best of intentions - looking for 'synergies' to reduce costs, duplication of effort etc. That side of it rarely results in very much: there might be some voluntary redundancies offered, for example.
Having said that, given the similarities: both vehicles and vessels must be registered, as must both vehicle drivers and vessel operators, it makes good sense to rationalise the permit systems. And the RTA system is far more advanced.
Just my 2c.

If anything for the moment it might take their minds of the modified car seen.
our local engineer passed a hot rod the other day the owner had the plates on the counter when the phone rang do not rego that hot rod he said all rods are on hold no other details given.
engineer is chasing it up he doesnt know weather its all cars or just rods or if its cars he is passing.

My mate had the same thing happen to him he was about to pick up his plates when the RTA girl said it was on the bottom of his RTA paper work DO NOT REGISTER  So he and his engineer have been at it with the RTA for over 6 months about registering his T roadster.. the head RTA inspector and two other RTA [Water Ways  ] inspectors and the engineer are all going to inspect the T on the 5th Dec and make a decision think they are using it as a test case .....FC427..... |

I've been helping a guy with a Harley with after market frame, the engineer we were going to use, doesn't think he wants to part of it anymore (all recognised engineering signature had to reapply) he said he knew a lot of things that he has previously past have been called back for RTA inspection, they're making it hard for us again.

so i wonder what the penalty is if you dont comply? it appears one can do drugs to the hilt but cannot have a hobby or be car enthusiast!

It's meant to be a free country, isn't that the idea, but don't own a gun, don't modify your car, don't fish without a license, don't go in a national park. We need to get organised and lobby these pollies, it has worked for plenty of other minorities greens gays etc. perhaps we could get other groups on board if we helped with there causes. The 4w drivers a had win against the pedestrian council with their bull bars because they got organised.
Most of us have other interests, maybe we should start raising these issues with other clubs and get a bit organised.
Off the soap box now
