R TUNE Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 but he gave me a "major" defect. i need to get a rwc is there any thing else on the defect notice that needs to be addressed. if not take the car to vic roads first as you believe that the tyres are in good condition if vic roads wont to see a RWC they will let you know. but i had a major defect for a GT spoiler i just took it off and went to vic roads, they had a look saw it was off and gone all right you can go. tyres are consided unrwc when two or more of the tread wear indecators are in line with the tread at any point on the tyre Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/164801-breath-testdefect-station-dalton-rd-thommo/page/2/#findComment-3055293 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffels Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) who's whinging? i'm curious to see if anyone from here got done..... the "winge winge cry cry et etc" part was sarcasm dude don't worry about him dude, he's always got something to say! yeah, they will do that to you also.. mate of mine who bought my 33 just got defected for front tyres... they havent reached the wear indicator, shoulders are all perfect still... but because they are getting on thier way to being unroadworthy the coppa did him anyway! they would need to be replaced in a few months.... but the defect is forcing him to replace them now! not alot you can do hey Edited April 17, 2007 by Ruffels Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/164801-breath-testdefect-station-dalton-rd-thommo/page/2/#findComment-3055492 Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-rad33 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 hey i havent read through the thread. but... If he defected you on tyres, then you must of had to get a tow truck.. He shouldnt have let you drive from there, unless it was a load rating issue..

He shouldnt have let you drive from there, unless it was a load rating issue.. yea the cop that got me for tyres said i had to get it towed but then they had a change of heart and said you can't drive it in the wet.. what a sweat i was only going to maccas cos i was starving, 30mins later i managed to eat lol R-SPEC - so if you got a major defect does that mean you gota pay the $177 fine aswell? or nah?

R-SPEC Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 no he said "he's not gonna give me a fine coz the money would be better spent on fixing the defect instead" which i thought was pretty decent of him. it says car can't be driven in the wet or after 6pm. exactly the same thing happened to me with the same car last year. also 2 rear tyres and 1 front. but the tyres back then were pretty bad and i wasn't told to get a rwc... see this is what you get for showing up to uni, i had just finished a lecture in the city campus and had another 1 in the bundoora campus so i was trying to get there. should've drove straight home instead...

Do-Luck Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 That's one fear, getting pulled over AFTER buying food and getting home and it being cold. Hasn't happened yet, but its a waste of a good meal!
