Help - Finally got defected

[dangerous_daveo]

Dave,

Nothing against you here... But a few times i've seen you post regarding being 'invincible' from defects because the mods were 'on your car when it was complianced, so therefore its all legal'

I think thats a bit of blind hope there and really wouldnt hold any weight at all... If a mods illegal its illegal and they'll get you for it. After all whose to say that certain mods werent put on AFTER it was complied... just food for thought

Hence I said out of interest. If hes got the book I guess it would be in there somewhere.

Like wise how can they say they have been put on after. My point with that is, which I feel is fair, I paid my $1200 to have my car complied (as would many others) and I think its wrong Id get the fine when Im not the one at fault, because as far as Im concerned my car has been put though the proper channels to make it legal. That and my understanding of the 15year rule it was different to a normal blue plate.

And adding to that, if the mods are illegal, they shouldnt be going after me (although easier) they should be going after the dodgy compliance shops, the dodgy blue platers, and the lack of DOT picking it up once its been through both of the other so called safe gaurds. And really fix the problem properly. But we cant have that

End of the day it doesnt worry me too much, Id just like to know for sure a bit more. I keep the car as legal as I can without being stupid about it. Really I know if Mr policeman wants to book me, they will, they will find something such as 'windscreen wiper blades are too hard, or too soft, or too black, or made out of the wrong rubber or, I look like his daughers ex boyfriend'

even if they were there when it was complied, doesnt mean the compliance people got it right.

a quote from my other thread,

"Bottom line is, if u are concerned about being defected put your car in the garage and never drive it again. They can and will do u for anything even if they make shit up.... Yes u can fight it but most people dont... its what comes with owning an import or performance car and u have to take the good with the bad."

Even opinions vary from inspection stations and between inspectors in the one station, they got into a verbal fight over my car, its all a matter of opinion, its ****ewd but there is not a thing u can do about it.
