law with window washer bottle

[94vrexec]

If i were to remove the window washer bottle, would that be a reason for a defect notice?

 

[jules]

i believe so.

but more to the point, aren't you worried about crashing if you get a whole lot of mud across your screen and you can't wash it off?

 

[burnz]

it's a pinch in nsw
i'd say it would be the same everywhere
possable adr breach

 

[Stretchomatic]

are you trying to make a cold air intake?...i noticed all that crap was in the way when i was making mine...(not that all that stuff is really crap)...

yep..in Vic
vehicle is classed as unroadworthy (wiper/washer is on the checklist)
and also does not comply with ADRs re vision

Australia wide defect.

Yeah defect in nsw. Ther used to be a fine if the bottle was empty. I got don for an empty bottle years ago. Took it to court an won cause i told the judge i had hit a gular about 5 ks out the road and used the last of the water.

 

[jules]

that's pretty tighta**ed to fine you for an empty bottle.

It is indeed. But cops don't pull cars over to just check their washer fluid..

If the cop doesn't like you and really wants to give you a yellow sticker, they'll generally include it in the defect.

You can always find one of those hanging bag type washer reservoirs and screw it elsewhere. Not sure if they are still widely available. Used one a few years back on an old Corolla when it was too hard to find one from a wreckers in good nick.
