Vic: Free RWC Saftey Checkups (LONG)

[icer]

Ok so I am currently invovled in a police sort of thing. Legally this time. Long story short, the police are wanting to try somethign out. Testing starts in VIC.

The issue:

Alot of people (such as myself) want to have a 100% street legal car (to the eye of TMU/vic roads etc). But the only way to FULLY be 100% sure is either cop a canary from the cops or go pay 90$ for a RWC from a mechanic. The RWC aint usually enough for high performance cars though. A cop can still ping you for illegal mods or something that is ROAD WORTHY but not always according to the police.

Anyway...

The police are setting up something called a 'Saftey Check'. This is where people can bring their cars to the local police station, and have a qualified officer to go over the car and give the client a 'saftey check checklist'. This does not invovled a canary of any sort.

Only problem is, if the car has a groundable offence on his car (meaning the car cannot move from wherever it is) for example 2 bold tyres, then the cops HAVE to by law ground the car and have the user tow it away at their expense. Now this is the flaw in the matter. Noone wants to go get this saftey notice then find out their car is grounded on the spot then costs them all this money. But if the car is not seen as 'groundable' you walk away with a checklist of things you need to fix or do to make the car street legal compliant. Any time frame. No stickers.

Now i think thats not to bad, but i wouldnt go due to having the off chance somethign is classified as a groudable offence on my car. But on the other hand, I want to take it the the cop shop to go over my car to tell me what (if anythgin) needs to be done to make the car legal.

A suggested 'groudable checklist' on website or given to clients before they book an appoinment is the only thing I can come up with that will be a decent semi solution. So you go over that small list, and if you clear those then you book yourself in to the appointment at your own risk if you have covered all those checklists.

Anyways...thats all I can think off...anyone wanna bounce some ideas feel free. I posting this up on a couple forums to get some input.
