Proposal to be put to the RTA to build an ICV

My understanding is the car is regularly checked by an engineer who then signs off on the car with a covering letter advising you to present the car for registration. Your State registration branch should then register the car.

If they refuse the engineer and you have a valid reason to ask why not.

Unfortunately, this is a problem in every State. As Kris Kincaid has pointed out the ASRF have worked hard to obtain an SR plates and recent changes have seen the introduction for ICV to be register form either 45 day or 90 day use.

A log book is kept and the car can be used at anytime over the 45 or 90 day period.

Cars can be moved up to 100 meters on the road without filling in a day use.

Hmm about to go National as a permit scheme. When you consider the little use we give our vehicles it is a not a bad option. Also it appears that all vehicles engine etc. Combinations can. Be registered this way.

I just saw a car with a 351w and top loader registered this way. The motor was from a early 80's Fairlane.

I can see enough of our cars being declined for full registration and a joint legal action being taken against Ministers and registration authorities. At the end of the day these are not cheap cars and builders are not 18 year old hoons. Whilst this may seem extreme it will make a Transport Minister take notice. Hmm 4 or 5 contribute to a legal claim works out cheap as this I would think would be sorted in a Ministers office by staff there...

To BMK,

It's great to have input from you Bernie and I feel privileged that you have elected to be part of this discussion. I really appreciate it.

My car was presented for full NSW registration and VIN No. allocation over 12 months ago. It was knocked back on 29 issues, but that's another story and one which I won't enter into here, but to put it bluntly, "I was not happy Jan." Unfortunately, because of illness and other factors, it took my engineer 9 months to respond to the RTA's list of items requiring attention. There are other matters here which made what's left of my hair stand on end, but I won't go there either.

We then asked for further particulars from the RTA as to what they actually required in respect of their rejection of "some" items on my engineers second Certificate and it has taken three months for them to respond to our request. Their response to me, in my opion, was only expedited because of certain actions I recently took.

Hopefully, I will be attending a meeting with the RTA Inspectors and my Engineer next week and hopefully, positive outcomes will occur.



Regards,
