new laws on cars...

my friends told me about a new law they have for modified cars..


for every defect u get u lose 2 points?? that true?

oh my car is half way done.. (its almost driveable but not yet painted hahah)

Not that I know of. However, you can be pulled over for making too much noise with your stereo or exhaust now under very recent legislation. How loud "too loud" is defined by the police on the spot - fine plus 2 points gone.

Meanwhile, Harleys can still make all the noise they want :(

Maybe that's what your friend was talking about?

haha cool....

yeah i think thats what she must of meant... geez i was getting worried!!!...

so how loud is too loud?

harleys just give me the shits!
hey are sooo freaken loud with that weirdo noise...
but then again they are probably saying the same thing about our cars.

Whatever the cops want it to be I'm afraid. No measuring equipment needed - if they deem it too loud then it's too loud :(

Prepare to lose that argument people :mad:

Here we go - proper wording:

"Two demerit points will be taken off the drivers licenses of people who drive cars causing 'excessive noise', 'unecessary smoke' or with stereos causing 'offensive' noise."

yeah, that's stupid....so be careful, when you decide to let vtec cut in :rolleyes:

How many demerit points do you get before you lose your licence?

Over here its 100 so 2 dont seem that worrying

You have about 12 points in total I think... so yeah and it takes a few years for you to get your points back, once you've lost them.

12 points and 4 years from the date of the offence to get them back as I recollect.

Ofcourse I have been lucky (touch wood) thus far, to not have lost any points.

I know at one stage, my dad was down to like 2 points, cause he did a few red light cameras, and speeding fines.

lost 4 points (out of 4) when I first got my P's. Damn I was good for the next 12 months.

Since then copped a few bookings, then got my gold licence, then lost 3 for speeding on the Hume... hopefully that will clear before I renew my gold.

If I had renewed my license yearly, then I could have got my gold this year, but doesn't matter, I'll be getting it beginning of Feb next year.

There is nothing more annoying than cars running around with loud exhausts.

Muahahahaha - No comment Mr. "but I didn't hear your VTEC cut in" :finger:

I think I might have heard your VTEC cut in - or they could have been turning the lights to the workshop on hehehehe

I think that was them turning the fans on actually :D

Still - I can live with quiet - considering how much I got sick of twin Dell Orto sidedraft carbs sitting right against the firewall on my gold 1G - not to mention the 1 3/4 inch exhaust with hotdog mufflers on it :rolleyes:

feel free to add the term,"Founder member,Aussie Mutant crew"to your sig.:cool:

nooooooooooooo Its not true, YET! There is however a push to make that fact which is shite. They can all get &^@$^%. Im also pissed off at the fact if I get pulled over with a slight bald tyre its instant defect, when my dad did in his work car it was "just change it when you can." :flipa: Thats for the other boys in blue! (im RAAF, screw service relations.) It comes back to the other day I was on the gold coast at my parents place, I went to macca's for an early breakfast, said hi to the cop in there and what does he say? "shouldnt you be in bed instead of giving me grief?" And of course Im always polite so what I said wont be repeated.....:alien: BLEAH, I love em huh!
