A crazy new implementation from Minister for Transport, Pat Conlon, will see motorists charged a $120 fine for minor defects, and $250 fine for major defects, on top of the fees for clearing the defect notice.

all information is here

That is honest to God totally f**ked. In other words, if they don't like you... be prepared for a fine; not sure about others but if they looked hard enough they can find a defect of some sort.

If this gets out of control I can see myself not registering my car.

Yeah no joke man this is bullshit. A cop can just defect you for suspicion of being detectable even if its not. There is no point on even driving even a slightly modified car. eg having a pod filter or even just having a seat belt which doesn't retract properly.

It's pretty much giving SA pol smokers the right to f**k you over if they feel like it...

99% of defects I see are given under Suspicion...

Without actually any hard proof of damage/defect....

What happened to innocent til proven guilty ?

Makes me so glad I don't own a street rego car anymore

Not worth it in communist SA.

A firm f**k you to SA government.

More importantly where the f**k in Adelaide can I quarter mile test my car in controlled conditions?I have no way to explore my interests in my vehicles capability, and the stigma behind modified cars on the road highlights an obvious need for a full scale facility. Higher fines, double demerits and other scare tactics seem to be the only efforts the authorities are implicating, but there is still no evidence that any revenue from SAPOL has been utilized to fix our roads, provide better learner driver training, drink driving rehabilitation, fatigue management (these being things I myself would focus on) Meanwhile, even though I consider myself to be a curteous

And they keep saying they do this kind of stuff to make roads safer. Total BS if you ask me, revenue raising at its most blatant.

Makes me AAAHHHRRR!:angry:

well after completely f**king up the budget in getting Adelaide oval revamped, they need to recover the extra money spent somehow. To be totally honest this government is making things in this state worse and worse by the day, yet i don't f**king see the roads getting any better. Soon you will get fined for sneezing in the car. Arrrgh this state government is frustrating me every time they open their big flaps arrrgh

Lol, and rego fees going up as of 1st July.....

So there saving money on not sending out stickers,

But feel the need to raise renewal fees due to " 3rd party insurance going up 2.5%"

Cash grab much

On top of carbon tax that will be passed onto consumers

Water rates going up

Petrol prices

Food prices

Yet our pay stays the same....

See ya later luxury items

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
