Are Underbody Neons Legal or not

[Sr20ist]

I rang the Licence Dept. they told me that neons are legal as long as you can not see the neon tube but a cop picked me up and told me they are ilegal and either the licence dept or me was talking shit but i have the conversation recorded what do you guys say have you being hasseld by cops about them?

[MrGTST]

I believe they are legal provided that as you said you cannot see the tube itself and you cannot have a red nean on the front or a white neon on the back as people may confuse headlights with brake lights.... apart from that you should be fine...

Sounds like the cop just wanted to give you a hard time...

[SHUTO-BOY]

cop is wrong, i think the pits will let u go

[Nate]

arent you not allowed to have them on when you are driving on the road?

[APA]

they only illegal if u can see the tube, for neons to be legal you should only be able to see the neon glow on the surface of the road

rollaboyz website has a write-up on thier car legality session deeming what is legal and what is not.

Neons ARE legal

Colour is irrelevant.

on the Proviso you cant see the tube! (looks shit if you can anyway)

see thier site for more details.

p.s. all cops are tosser's. if your gonna have neons, dont use them on the road!

[chaos]

must be different in QLD cause u cant have neons that are visible that is the tube or the glow whilst the car is in motion.

Can only have them on while car is not moving and in a parking lot

[Sr20ist]

ok but my point is why sell the equipment if u cant use it you know its a conspiracy i swear get us to buy it goverment makes money fines us for having it government makes money gets us to remove it go to pits government makes money and after all that money the cops still have a nerve to ask for a pay rise and asking for the publics support in all good words blow me thats BS there are kids killing each other and taking drugs yet they make neons and blow offs such a big fkn problem

[PSIKO]

Sr20ist - it's all modifications, and the retailers sell them as a show/race accessory (that is, all items eg bov's). It isn't a conspiracy dude

But saying that, a mate got pulled up by police, and they couldn't find ANYTHING on his car to defect him with, but they had it in their minds to give him a yellow ... so what did he get it for?? His little smelling tree that hangs off the rear view mirror!!

They all have their own ideas of the law, but it's a verified fact (which the pits agree with) that your neons are allowed to be on, and on the road, as long as noone can see the tubes ... you may be able to pick up permits for them perhaps..?

[Sr20ist]

Thanks dude ill check up about permit

[zanda]

lol @ permit for neons.

[Sr20ist]

yes zanda wait till you get a asshole cop that wants to hassle you for anything he can, when cops pull you over regardless of situation they hassle the crap out of you

[ix9]

zanda,

YES, a permit... anything to stop the cops giving ya a yellow...

[ModYourCar]

After a session with Reno at the Department of Transport he informed us that neons were legal, even driving with them. The only condition was that the tube was not visible from standing around the car.

So as long as the neon tube is hidden well you shouldn't have a problem.

Of course cops on the road will argue the point but if yo udo get stickered go see Reno down at Welshpool and he will clear your car.

[zanda]

I dont think that you're gonna get a permit for your neons.

Just like you wont get a permit for your subwoofah or your pedals/paint/gearknob because they do not affect the impact crashworthiness or mechanical function/capacity of the car.

Like Dan said, if you cop a sticker for your neons, go to welshpool and plead your case to Reno.

Provided that everything else on the vehicle is legal, they will tear up the work permit for you. However, if you do not have the good fortune of everthing on your car being 100% legal, then you can hardly complain that the policemen was misinformed, and that it wasnt your neons, but your welded diff that he should have stickered you for.

So my advice is, if you want people to look at your car, then expect attention in all its wonderful forms.

and if you've got a bomb held together with gaffa and zip ties, dont make it glow like a freakin xmas tree.

[Gradenko]

Ain't nufing wrong with gaffa and zip ties. I'm sure many an intercooler job is held up by little else .

[Frosty]

Sr20ist

the neons are completely legal while you are driving as long as the tubes are not visible. Regardless of what everyone else says they are completely legal.

Pits will let you go if they dont then you can contest it because new laws state that they are.. Been threw it all her in W.A

cheers

[kjb_r33]

lucky they cant defect ya for bad taste

lol
