Defecteddd

[Rolla_Rolla']

Hey guys,
Long story short

Mate got defected to regency last nite, for gagues, horn, steering wheel too small, and racing seats..

So my question is :

Hes got a 7 day period that he can still drive the car, but his rego ran out today.. He still needs it for work, so how can he still drive it ?

[Jesterarts]

No he can't.

If the car rego has run out it's illegal to drive it on the roads.

Sorry mate.

[Rolla_Rolla']

Thats what i thought, are you cant rego a defected car either ?

[trentvy]

yer that sucks :P,

[one_and_only2004]

He can't. case closed.


Get a roadworthy and pay the rego.

[ClairBear]

He still needs it for work

Borrow someone's car
Ride a push bike
Catch a bus/train
Hitch hike
Take a week off work

[Kal123]

You'll have to lend him yours...

[ausrs]

Maybe he should have thought about that before fitting parts to the car that he would have known would create issues with the local boys in blue

As stated car unregistered ,cant drive it without risking largish fines !

That could either be because we have the toughest rules on car mods or the most ignorant people that do modifications they know are illegal but don't care. Me thinks it's a bit of both but as far as I'm concerned if you know it's illegal and you still go ahead and do it then take your medicine and stop bitching about it.

Since when are gauges defectable? Were they on the bonnet?

Guages are defectable is they are in the the drivers line of sight above the line of the dash I think.

So does that mean a 40 foot monster tacho with 6 shift lights could get defected if it is on the dash?

[Rolla_Rolla']

lol at the recent posts..

How much is it to go through Regency ?

LMAO, just no.

[ashbox]

my understanding were that gauges were ok if they weren't mounted to the crash pad on the dash.
A pillar was fine if it was small

[hsvpunk]

why didnt he pay rego earlier on? as most people pay it a few days before its due (if they cant get to the bank etc.. on the due date, or being a weekend)

$143 first time, $71.50 second time.

You can pay your rego 24/7 online, so if it runs out midnight on Saturday, you can register online at 12.01am Sunday and keep motoring
