Ok so I just got off the phone with the friendly RTA Tech line.

Some things that he mentioned are:

*Any car modified previous to the introduction of this rule is exempt. They are still only bound by the 100mm rule plus 2/3 original suspension travel. He said that the owner will need to provide receipts, stat-dec or similar to say that the car was like that before the rule was introduced. There was also mention of a modified car register at the RTA so they know who modified what and when. These workarounds aren't clear yet.
*He said that the announcement by the minister was premature and that introduction will most probably be delayed to sort out all these issues.
*This law was aimed at the silly 4x4's that had been raise to ridiculous heights. The tech guy says that he thinks the police will abuse this power like they do with every other vehicle modification rule.

Also apparently the minister is having a meeting today with suspension manufacturers/ installers etc to try and resolve these issues. Tech guy said it will be interesting to see whether anything comes of it



well that is some good news there,
im sure most of us can easily supply a receipt showing proof of purchase for their lowered suspension and/or a stat dec.

it is pretty stupid how in the newspaper they label & direct it towards hoons, bloody idiots............

NSW MINISTER FOR ROADS
MICHAEL DALEY MP

NEWS RELEASE

MINISTER AGREES TO FURTHER CONSULTATION ON
CAR MODIFICATION LAWS

Wednesday 29 July 2009

Minister for Roads Michael Daley today met with representatives from the 4WD community and car industry who asked for the introduction of proposed vehicle modification rules to be delayed and for more time to consult.
Mr Daley said he agreed to put the rule changes on hold and that more consultation was needed following the meeting.
“I’ve listened to feedback from the industry and the community, and have agreed to set up a working party to look more closely at how we are going to address this road safety issue,” he said.

“All of those who attended today’s meeting agreed that safety is paramount and that unsafe modifications of vehicles do need be stamped out.

“The working group will include representatives from the NSW Centre for Road Safety, Four Wheel Drive NSW-ACT, Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association, the Australian 4WD Industry Council as well as other agencies and experts,” Mr Daley said.

Executive Director of Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association Stuart Charity said this was a terrific outcome.
“We’re passionate about road safety and we understand the intent of the regulation is to make the roads safer,” he said.
We’re looking forward to working towards a practical solution that meets road safety objectives while also taking industry views into account,” Mr Charity said.

Greg Redfern from Four Wheel Drive NSW-ACT also welcomed the outcome and said the working group would have their full support.

“We want to eliminate unsafe practices in the driving community and we’ll work with the government to make sure these new regulations meet those objectives without any adverse consequences for the motoring community at large,” he said.
“We all agree that there is no place for extreme and illegal modifications, but the clubs in our association follow a strict code of conduct and ethics, and we want to make sure they’re not punished,” Mr Redfern said.

all that says is its directed at 4WD owners who raise their car so it will benefit them more then ppl who lower their cars
cops are still going to target imports more then raised 4wd's even if the law is going to be passed.
we can't win with this government.
