Defect notice for cars on trailers ??

[Treeve]

Just to reiterate guys, plates or not plates, VIN or no VIN, the law says 'registerable', and hence they use this flimsy justification to ticket just about anything. You can remove whatever you like, but if the person offering the ticket wants to ticket you, he is correct within the letter of the law.

How did it get this way? Because as motoring enthusiasts we didn't stand up for ourselves soon enough. The Hot Rod guys are onto a good thing. Why? Because they got organised in the 70's. If you want this kind of rubbish to stop, next time other clubs approach discussing the issues faced by ICVs in NSW, spare a thought and offer up some time to help out - else we'll all be left driving '33 Chevs and the Cobra, GT40 and Lotus 7 scene will die.

I'm from the UK, I've seen how easy it should be. Even I am fed up with the lengths that I have to go to when it comes to certifying our cars. Lets all get together and get this sorted, else the Police will have a field day with rights granted by the RMS and the EPA for noise levels and all kinds of other heinous legislation that most of us won't have the time to fight.

Or you can sit back and say 'my Cobra has NSW plates, which makes it more valuable, so why should I help', which I have heard in the past and made me want to drop the arrogant wanker that said it.

I've mentioned in the past that I certify ICVs to help out guys in the hobby; I have a Monday to Friday job which I would enjoy a whole lot more if I wasn't spending 4 hours a night trying to sort out this kind of crap from the RMS. I'd probably still be married, too.
