GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...
Im getting sick of this shit.. Neons are legal in Melbourne.. How do I know? I had them fitted on my Commo for a while (yeah yeah)..
I had a mechanic refuse to give me an RWC until I got confirmation from Vicroads and Victoria Police that neons were fully legal on a street car, both said yes.
I've talked to highway patrol and been through booze buses with my neons on and only one cop gave me a bit of hassle. But as soon as he confirmed the law for himself, I was on my ways, blue undercar neons switched on..
The rule is that the source of the globe is not allowed to be seen and the light or glow cannot dazzle other drivers.
The only time I got in shit for my neons was when one of my mounts broke and the neon globe was hanging loose and the globe was visible to oncoming cars. I got pulled over by the boys in blue and just given a friendly warning to fix up the mount..
Believe me, neons in Victoria are legal on a moving street car. No question..
