cant defect u if your not at the car. Lock it up and walk away.

u can be defected if ur not at ur car. I know of two people that have been defected in the marion car park while they were shopping. they left a note under the windscreen wiper and the defect sticker on the outside of the front windscreen.

also if i go to victoria on a holiday can the victorian cops defectme ?

They can defect u but... most people rip the sticker off when they get back to adelaide. They may be different road rules but once the information gets to adelaide that u were defected they still classify that ur car is unroadworthy. most people will get away wit ripping it off but if they pull u over and find out u were defected in vic its the same penalties.

no u are only defected in that state, it makes no difference to the state u are originally registered in

i heard you are immune to defects from other states.

i regulary travel to Adelaide, and ive been pulled over NUMERIOUS times and when they look at the rego, and the licence EVERY single time they have said "no point going over the car" or something to that effect... this has happened at least 8 times in the last year of travels to Adel.

so im under the idea that im 'immune' to your defect laws.. im sure if it was a rust bucket etc etc they might do something (if they bothered to pull me over in the first place) but for the majority of times ive been pulled over, ive had no problems as so ever

oh, and to clarify, if they wanted to be cops about my car, simple defects would include,

too low (58mm clearance front bar)

too dark tint

too big rims (19" - stock = 15" / 4" over regs)

so in theory, thats enough for me to get raped over, then they could start on the engine / interior *rolls eyes*

Well there was a gold coloured skyline that was down from vic, visiting his family for a while and he got defected for his T wing. Ive heard of numerous cars from vic being defected here and like wise in vic.

I also went into motor and reg and asked them, as i am taking a venture to melbourne soon. They said that u can be defected but the info takes a while to get to adelaide.

It all depends on wat u were doing and the cop u come across, kind of like in our own state.

I may be wrong but its wat ive heard and seen.
