DSTROY Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Keep in mind that import defects dont account for a majority percentage of defect notices issued. I've had plenty of mates with shitbombs get a nice yellow sticker over the years. Not a valid complaint. So you have the numbers to prove that????

RubyRS4 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) Are there numbers to prove imports are being picked on? In the end its all hearsay and stats. sau cruise anyone haha... JOKES!

RubyRS4 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) Found this during my search. Its a report from 2000, but still interesting: So 0.6% of fatal crashes were the result of a defectable vehicle.

I've had plenty of mates with shitbombs get a nice yellow sticker over the years. Not a valid complaint. BAHAHAHA you cant be serious?? no stats are needed, just look at the amount of 'quality' cars on the road. i usually think i am at u pull it but then i realise i am driving on the road. hence the reason i don't 'believe' in defects anymore.

RubyRS4 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) theres your evidence for the NSW boys. 240 inspected, 501 not inspected Running with the trend ... 501 x 1.4% = 7 defectable vehicles that were never identified. Adelaide has (142 + 25) x 0.6% = 1.002 So only 1 possible vehicle that was defectable in a fatal crash (and that includes motorcycles also). So compared to NSW (and other states) its saying defectable vehicles contribute less to fatal accidents. Look at it another way (using SA and NSW only, all fatalities): NSW (240 + 501) x 1.4% = 10.4 SA (142 + 25) x 0.6% = 1.0 Thats prob grounds for SAPOL to argue that mod plates don't make a difference. But this report was back in 2000 anyway. Thats what's provided in the report anyway. I'm looking for the raw data, so I can crunch my own numbers! Also looking for data on "modified" vehicles contributing to crashes.

RubyRS4 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) From the ABS website. At 31 March 2008, the average age of all vehicles registered in Australia was 9.9 years. This is younger than the 10.4 years recorded in the 2003 MVC. Over this five year period, a drop in the average age was observed in all vehicle types except buses. Vehicles manufactured before 1993 (those more than 15 years old) comprised 21.2% of the total Australian fleet. This is slightly lower than the 21.9% of registrations recorded 12 months earlier. So there are less shitboxes on the road. Average age of cars is getting lower. So by 2010 I should upgrade my Stagea to an R35 From 2006 ABS report: http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/[email protected]/bb...F4?opendocument ... if you can be bothered filtering thru all that In both 2001 and 2006 the majority of fatal crashes occurred on roads where the posted speed limit was 100 kilometres/hour (km/h) and above (44% in 2006), followed by roads with a speed limit of up to 60 km/h (33%). A further 23% of fatal crashes occurred on roads with speed zones of between 65 km/h and 95 km/h. In both 2001 and 2006 the highest proportion of fatal crashes was single vehicle crashes (41% and 47% respectively). Pedestrian crashes accounted for 18% of crash types in 2001 and 15% in 2006. So 1/3 of fatal crashes occur in 60kph and under zones. 44% in zones 100kph (country and freeways). But the safest speed zones were 65-95kph areas. Single vehicle crashes account for nearly half of fatalities! Wonder why the cops are cracking down on hoons in 60kph areas But wait! There's more ... Total registered vehicles in SA in 2006 were 919,000 and 3,404,000 for NSW. SA fatalities 148 / Total registered vehicles 919,000 = 0.0161% chance of being killed NSW fatalities 508 / Total registered vehicles 3,404,000 = 0.01492% chance of being killed So per capita of road registered vehicles, SA is at a higher risk of fatal crashes than NSW.

sneaky1 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 i had officer neil pick me out of a crowd of cars and came out with a warning about a boost contoller. he was actually a nice person to me and my other half and rather reasonable. he was fairly strick by the book but yet that is his job. ok im not keen as i was picked out but then look at my car, it dont look stock. i was told of officer neil that as soon as he sees me on the rd again he will be pulling me over and that would be to check what we have discussed. i have done what he has asked so im more than willing for him to check it again. i even seen a SS BOMBadore ute pulled over the other day with the measuring tape out and the guy screaming at the cop. the car was way to low as the rims (not just the tires) were under the guards. but yes its moreso skyline drivers as they are easy targets.

Its a report from 2000, but still interesting: So 0.6% of fatal crashes were the result of a defectable vehicle. i have found similar studies, basically saying the same thing. if u put up the amount of defects from RBT's, compared to the amount of people done for being over the limit at RBT's, then look at the crashes they cause, it's just rediculous.
