I Actually see this as a good thing.

It means that all these rumours about the RTA trying to clean up the list and get rid of dodgy engineers will be put to bed. All engineers on the list will have been freshly reviewed and the RTA will have a level of confidence.

Currently i have a feeling that instead of kicking engineers off the list the RTA are just preventing their work from being approved. We are caught in the middle.

I expect that what will happen now is the RTA will try to find things wrong with the engineers application to be on the new list as apposed to our cars.

Also discussed in that meeting was publishing what evidence they will accept to satisfy ADRs. Recently the RTA sent out a letter to people that were included on one of the engineers mailing lists outlining what current ADRs are exempt and how they can be demonstrated. There was also a new brake testing procedure SIB 03 resleased. In the cover letter for the new brake testing procedure there was mention of them working on a revised version of VSB14 soon to be released. If this occurs there will finaly be a clear guideline that NSW builders can follow knowing they will build a safe car that passes registration.

No Clubbies or cobras that i am aware of have passed RTA inspection since the beginning of this year. This new revision has been in planning for some time and i suspect they are wanting it up and running before anymore cars are passed.

Just my opinion.
