Thread: Can the seller be also liable - Duty of Care?

Ok, I got a bite so what about the following...

What about my roadworthy, registered caravan I have? In Vic it is legal to register it without a gas certificate but in other states, they require this - can I take my safe, legal and registered van into NSW without getting booked? No?

How about my car? I don't have a pink slip or whatever it's called for its annual roadworthy as that's not required here - can I get booked for that too, I'm certainly not complying with that States legislation there....

The point I'm making is where is the line and if you can't or don't get booked for not having an annual roadworthy even though that's a requirement in NSW, why is it different if I take my legally modified car interstate where those mods aren't recognised?

I think some legal eagle could make some money on a court case if someone with deep enough pockets challenged this...

Where is the line on what is and isn't allowed interstate when it's complying with its own states laws?

If there's no specific laws written about certain exceptions (there could be, I don't know) then they can't expect to book someone for a legally modified vehicle - or permitted vehicle - without booking every car that comes into the state for breach of other state based laws....

Those that have issues usually have themselves to blame for not following correct procedure then blame it on Vicroads because it's easier than admitting your a ****tard...

You can and most likely will be fined if you are in breach of any of the regulations that are in place in the State/States that you travel to or through and ignorance of any law is Not a defence so challenging it is pointless So it is important to do your research Before you travel so that you can avoid any unpleasantness

What a load of codswallop...

Your vehicle - if legal in the state of registration is allowed to travel through other states and territories of Australia.

You must however, abide by local traffic laws etc (speed limits and the like, so you can’t tow at 110 in WA for example).

Seems a lot of that goes on everywhere

How many “P”s was that phrase

Like I said it is entirely up to You yourself to ensure that whatever vehicle you take interstate is compliant with the various States regulations, Just because something is legal in one State doesn't automatically make it legal in another State and it is YOUR "Duty of Care" to ensure that the vehicle complies with whatever Law/Regulation is in place in a different State.

"intercourse" is the ability "to pass to and fro among the States without burden, hindrance or restriction" Sec 92 constitution I would take to imply as long as legal in one state you should not have a problem

I understand that part of the constitution refers to "Free Trade" ( Customs and Duties) and has absolutely nothing to do with vehicle licencing whatsoever.

That didn't answer my question at all - you just restated your previous post. If I drive my Vic registered car into NSW am I breaking the law and leaving myself open to a fine for not having a pink slip or annual RWC for the vehicle?
