Thread: Perentie Failed Pits Inspection

After speaking with them again this morning to get some confirmation on the blackout lights. You can have the switch to keep with the "theme" but it must not function. The wiring must be cut and joined in such a way that it can not be easily reconnected after inspection

Is that bureaucratic speak for someones personal opinion/interpretation presented as official regulation?

They'd better look at how wheel nuts can be fastened so that they cannot easily be removed and illegal tyres fitted after inspection.

And what is the problem with that, Australia is a federation of independent colonies (states), it has been that way since 1901.

In fact in NSW there are no Australian Road Rules, what we have is a NSW Regulation the "Road Rules 2014", which are similar to, but not the same as, the Australian Road Rules.

e.g. No U turns at traffic lights in NSW.

Just because something has 'always been that way' doesn't necessarily make it good or user friendly. Not to mention a house full of MPs for every state, plus the federal parliament...all for our tiny population. But lets not open that can of worms! If it nips in the bud, a political argument which could go on for years....I will say I love the state system...with my fingers crossed behind my back. :-)

What a good topic.
Take it to CA, please. We don't want it here.

Totally agree....back to the topic.

Honestly I don't think what they are asking is all that problematic. From the conversations I've had with the guys in the transport department are more than happy to answer any questions and work with you to get your car licensed. Just dont be a dick treat em how you would want to be treated and it's all good. On my first call after failing the inspection when I got thru to someone senior I said "hi my names Chuck I have a landy that's failed inspection. who do need to bribe?!" He thought it was hilarious

Also a quote from remlr which sums up the legalities

"State legislation is in addition to any ADR's; therefore what the WA Govt has done is legal and enforceable"

Exactly mate, I made contact with them here when I registered an ex usa motorcycle, and they were more than helpful in outlining what I would need, and what the options were. I dare say from my initial contact re a perentie, that they will be reasonable about it when I get to present one to them.


Years ago I used to have to take my cars/bikes/semi's over the pit for a rwc every six months...I found that if one goes in with a good attitude...one drives away with a rwc....if one goes in arrogantly...well....you take your chances.
