If there are clear and concise guidelines and a levelled playing field comes from all this then good.

I also feel for those that have done everything right and been denied timely servicing through conspired inaction.

"NSW RTA deal with 6,000+ modifications a year, and apparently (this is their number, not mine) WA has only 18. of these 18, 6 were involved in serious accidents. sounds a little implausible"

Holy Batsh*t, a whopping 33% involved in serious accidents. Did they T bone or get T boned? Did the fault lay with the vehicle? engineering? or steering wheel attendent?
Now NSW must have a way better record, 6000 mods, they must have some idea. So,,,,, was it 20% or 10% of NSW modified vehicles invovled in serious accidents. Even if it is as low as 10% (way better than WA) that's still 600 vehicles bent and a few peoples.

Sounds like one for mythbusters to checkout.

I think the big problem is with grey imports...they make the RTA cringe. Then there's the 'Street Machine' mob. There are a lot of dedicated builders that perform perfect modifications BUT there are too many yobs doing mods to cars that just pass and their crap gets passed then they go and make it worse AFTER the engineer has signed off. This is what the RTA finds at the accident.
