Just wanted to know if you have to present your car when you go to vic roads even after getting a roadworthy

im sure you do.
with a minor you have to. i'd be presuming it would be the same for a major apart from the rwc that needs to be current..
pm kyle. he had to clear one recently and may know what the go is for a major

if you go to the big busy vic roads (ie: oakleigh, frankston or dandenong) all you need to do is provide the rwc cert and the canary. And thats it. Soemtimes you MIGHT get asked for them to see your car, but you just say you didnt bring it as you 'cant drive it till the canary is autherised to be removed'. And if they say no to completing the transaction, say you will come back again tomorrow (which you wont) and just try another vic roads.

depends what person you have, what time of day and how busy, best time to rock up is at like quarter to 4, show them the RWC certificate and the defect notice the cops wrote out and they will prob just clear it without being assed to go out and see the car

My canary on my ute was a minor but they would not remove it till seen ,,, so had to take it back but then again no rwc was required so guess that was their reason being only a minor...

This!

Go at a crap time, eg Friday arvo and with any luck you should be able to achieve what you're trying for

excatly right, late arvo they generally are slack

minor they have to see it.

yeah friday afternoon they dont give a shit .
Dandenong are pretty strict tho so i would not go there .
Seaford they dont care at all . I took the ea in there with its normal exhaust and they let it go .

take it to broady. i just cleared a major defect. and she didnt even bother checking. I had to present my car for an engine number change

Read the defect notice, it should tell you what you have to do.....

lol

that's like saying 'read the road speed sign' it should tell you what you have to do.

FAT CHANCE!

the only correct answer in the thread was from a queenslander..

it says on the defect slip if the car has to be inspected by vicroads...
major / minor or rwc needed makes no difference...

icer have you ever had a fuckin defect you nob?

and road speed signs do tell you what you have to do ya spaz

seany just get ya cheque book out and someone will clear the defect for ya

Lol.

Every thread icer posts in turns into a laugh!

Of the 4 defects I've had, I've had my car inspected everytime!

When I got mine done on my car, I went to Dandenong at about 8-10am in the morning, they gave me a scraper and told me to go out and get the defect off myself. Also had an engine number change at the same time.

its usually only on certain items.
ie. too low, too loud etc.
and its at the discretion of the vicroads office.
i called bullshit to the lady at the counter and said it clearly states if the defect is no longer on the windscreen of the vehicle (damn thing just 'fell' off) then there is no need for it to be presented at the office.

i also usually wait a day or two after my rego is suspended using that as another excuse and reason to say if this paper says its roadworthy, its roadworthy.

argue it to the death, but the busier the place the stupider the people and more in a rush they are, like the guys that never noticed the engine number on my block was different to the one on the roadworthy or previous record when re-regoing the EB

ok cheers guys only time i can get there is 130-230 as im at work mon - fri and the closest one is dandy
so i guess i will try my luck there take the fg and tell them that couldnt drive the car after the 26th

you can still drive it after, but only to a repairer or to vicroads to get it cleared

Unless we went at the wrong time, our cars got checked at Frankston, was busy too. The EB got done for ride height so I pulled sub, spare etc out of the boot and pumped the tyres up. It didn't quite pass so pumped tyres up more and went back next day and passed. No spring change ftw (and not getting done for turbo )
