Nsw Defect Law

[[JNS 012]]

My mate who got defected 2 weeks ago, got defected again lastnite. But apparently the police did not take the car off him.

So i was just wondering why they didnt take the car off him..

My question is how many tyms does he have to get caught to get his car taken off him.

Does neone know the NSW Law

The question is what were the defects for? And when did they have to be cleared? He may just get a larger fine

is there something wrong with getting defected for the same thing over and over even if u get it cleared?

if it get's cleared and you get done again then morally, yes... legally, not enough details to say lol!

I copped a defect for a low tyre over a year ago and only got a fine, hadn't paid that and got done again for the same thing and was issued a notice that i had 3 days to drive the car and something like 14 to clear it before rego would be cancelled.

Neither time did the police even consider taking my car... it would have to be some pretty insane defects for them to take your car (and i mean INSANE)

i'm pretty sure the only reason they impound your car is for burnouts or street racing...

i got defected for a few mods on my car.. The car became unregistered until i got the defects lifted, got caught driving the car while it was currently undrivable and just copped another fine,

[lastlineofdefence]

Why would they take it for? If the car was that bad, it would be grounded.

they never take the car for defects, only if they consider the car unroadworthy they will make you tow it away(home or to a mechanic)

ive been fined 4 times for the same things each time i got them cleared with a dodgie blue slip then fined again, each time i got the same fine and same amount to pay.
