If even half of what is posted in this thread is true you blokes are really copping the rough end of the pineapple.

I see now why so many of you are migrating to QLD.

HA AHA HA

The second and third fines was just a fine letter saying $292 for driving a unroadworthy vehicle. That's the problem. Nothing listed. Why do you think I lost it?

It's because I still have a valid roadworthy and just cleared it a few weeks before and then they fine me again.

[R31Nismoid]

Rubbish - every canary i've had lists the items that are unroadworthy.

How can you just say a car is "unroadworthy" without specifiying what needs to be fixed?

I think we busted that mystery.

it sounds like he got the fine they like handing out not actually a defect my mate got one a couple weeks ago for too low but no defect just infringement notice.. which is stupid cos he doesnt have to show anyone that the car has been raised etc.

can someone clarify does the defect notice need 5 items for a major? someone told me this and i find it hard to believe i got 2 things listed and "inspection incomplete" which vicroads had never heard of inspection incomplete..

one big enough flaw will give you a major if the Office sees it as a safety issue, IE; tyres on belts. it is up to the officers discretion.

If that's the case, keep the RWC and the fine.. don't pay it and take the matter to court. How can you be fined for driving an unroadworthy car without being told what is unroadworthy on it?

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

in the last week, i've only seen 2cop cars. whats the big deal with everyone ? your car is a magnet, leave it at home,

if its legal to the eye, no problems.

Exactly.

You cannot defect a car and say it is Unroadworthy - without actually stating what the problem is.

That is just retarded.

thanks for that..

maybe it would be nice to go for a drive given the good weather

i agree nismoid but that is what they are doing just handing out $292 fine as an infringement notice.

[gdogzgtr]

I would definitely contest all of these fines. If they don't NOU the car I don't see how it's possible to issue fine for Unroadworthy vehicle. Any decent solicitor should be able to get you off that if you ask me. Roadworthiness is a safety issue so fines irrelevant IMO as NOU is to force person to make car safe. I fyou give out fine without NOU then your defeiting the purpose. Doesn't make any sense to me and I would think court would agree.

Ash,

Please read my posts again. I got a canary initially - yes, of course I got all the yellow sticker and the list of things to fix - yes. However, the subsequent fines did not involve a canary. You may recall that I wrote, I can't believe they can fine me again for having an unroadworthy vehicle and $292 only days after I got a full RWC and had cleared it with Vicroads.

This is why I am upset. So to recap, canaried - cleared it, then fined again after that without canary.

[Spunky Munky]

Exactly.

Thank you...now you feel my anger...the pointed to various things as I had mentioned before and then just said it's unroadworthy even after I showed them my RWC I got a few days before that.

[Spunky Munky]
