This again misses the point about how legislation is written. We can all be smart and say “well it’s obvious that x, y and z can’t apply”, but what actually happens is that we have to comply with what the registration legislation says. And from next year there are new, separate ADRs for ESC and BAS. So these would again need specific exemptions and we’d go through all of this again. Now is the time to make sure that these are captured and not leave it to chance - because what will happen is you won’t be able to prove compliance with these ADRs, you won’t have an exemption and so you won’t be able to register your car.
Also, there are many ways to make these things work without ABS. So, just because cost prohibits it, doesn’t mean it can’t be done.
So we have to sort out an exemption now.
