Thread: What is the legality?

They only check what's on the inspection list.

I had one inspection done where the guy who signed the pink slip was different to the bloke who inspected it. The report had all sorts of things on it like oversized tyres and other mods etc and the guy signing off on the pink slip ignored it all and signed off. I dont seem to attract any attention by the police with it and whenever I have been stopped by the police they have never asked to see the engineering report. Actually nobody has ever asked to see the engineering report which always has to be with the car.

So if they are turning blind eyes so to speak then it's just a money making scam to have a pit check every 12 months.

I don't think they're turning a blind eye, the inspection just doesn't seem to require or facilitate that type of thing.

The inspection is a safety inspection eg rust, seat belts, horn, tyres, brakes, wipers, lights, oil leaks, suspension operation etc.

As Slunnie said the nsw pink slip is a Safety inspection. They are only looking at the things that concern the safety of the vehicle. Unless they are particularly anal most places will be happy with most mods.

Im sorry but when has pollution equipment not been part of safety .
I know what we are talking about is not going to kill us immediately But if we listen to our pollies and the bleeding hearts out there it is very serious .
So really your NSW Pink Slip is flawed as in safety check

If we're going to bush lawyer it, then we shouldn't stop just there.

Well seeing as NSW has a police state reputation im guessing anything is possible

True it is a safety item in that regard rangieman. Also the workshop isn't allowed to charge any more than $39 for the inspection. For most workshops that is less than half an hour of labour at their usual rates.
