    Default Road Worthy

    Hello people.

    I am getting a road worthy for my VT s pack, its booked for Thursday. and its my first time getting one just wondering what do they look over? Is it your basic things like Suspension/All electrics working/brakes/tyres and any rust.

    the car is stock as hell with about 80% tread all round. just dont want to fail it.

    so if anybody can just point out a few things, that could go wrong. that they might pick me up on.

    Thanks Dan.

    Brakes, suspension, lights, windscreen, oil leaks are the main ones usually

    Not really the check list the mechanic works off but really the same thing in a long form and what they are looking at, from the Vic Roads web site.

    Different mechanics are more thorough than some as well. Your mechanic might be lenient or could pick you on every little thing.
    I reject your reality and substitute my own.
