Something another forum member brought up reminded me.

I see quite a few of these VICROADS vans on the way to work. Usually I believe they check out trucks, so I never paid them any attention, but has anyone been pulled over and inspected by one of these things? Does anyone apart from the cops have the right to?

Thanks.

i was under the intention that the vicroads cars can pull u up but focus more on the trucks/heavy vehicles

and the police focus mainly on cars

but still can pull you up if they wanted to, its vicroads they are the ones that have all the rules for the legalities on anything on the road in victoria so im guessing yeh they could and it would be a lot worse than the police pulling you up

You might find them however when they do the big defect stations.

Where the have everyone from Police, EPA, VicRoads to the VTD and immigration people checking taxi's (which i found to be amusing at the time)

I've seen it on Dandy Rd before near caufield... massive operation.

Although who was looking @ what, i dont know.

AFAIK.... You are not required to pull over for anyone till you are sure, and believe it to be safe (or something along those lines). So interpret that as you will. ;)

I once made a cop drive for 1.5k with lights and sirens on, to my house before i 'pulled over' in my drive way.... before he could read me his right act. ;)

Oh and i'm working where they turn normal Chooktins and Commondoors into Police cars ATM (i saw the Girl's Blouse H3's getting their lights and stickers get put on).... and they have a few VW transporter vans and utes in the "to do queue". Along with countless other cars that aren't designed to turn corners. :D

I'll try and get some sneaky pics tomorrow. :)

VicRoads vans are not for breakdowns on citylink...

Citylink has their own vans for breakdowns and so on. Its covered by the tolls you pay id imagine

got tail gated by vic roads Dandy one time, was thinking to my self EPA for exhuast,

but the van in front of me was pouring out black smoke, vic roads sped up got infront of me purple lights on for the van.

worked with a guy who thought it would be a good idea to take his ICE decked out wagon to industrial area and pump music and skate around the area.

security doing his shifts told them to stop and leave, they just gave him cheek, he asked them two more times, and they got angry and vocaly abused him.

security guy called Vic roads and explained, they came down with tool's issued them a 'sound polution notice' and took out his head unit ....party over

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
