    Default Unroadworthy vehicles - Toowoomba.

    Our local paper today had an article about a police crackdown on unroadworthy vehicles especially regarding illegal modifications. It makes interesting reading although there are a lot of unanswered questions.

    wow, good on them for taking up the initiative to chat to locals that are interested, i hope they have a member of the RTA with them, as some of the police dont know what mods are right and wrong.

    some of those "defects" are just common sense, if ur trans wont shift into gear, you shouldnt be driving the thing!!

    I'd say the trans thing means he has an auto without the thing telling you what gear you are in.

    But I agree, I wanna see some pictures of the car with all those dodgy mods

    lol - Driving that car around shopping centers must be number 1 on the Toowoomba Police Force's disciplinary action list.
