Shitboxes - Help get them off the road.

If you see a smoky vehicle, you can report it to Queensland Transport. Cars burning oil pisses me off as people don't give a shit about upkeep of their cars. So if you see one, report it!

What happens once you report the smoky vehicle?  

The reported registration number is compared with the reported description to make sure they match. If they do, a letter is sent to the owner explaining that the vehicle has been reported and suggesting ways to fix the problem. If the vehicle is reported three times within four months of the first sighting, the owner is issued with a Present Vehicle Order for the vehicle to be checked for defects by a Transport Inspector.

I got one of those letters a few months ago! Pretty funny. As it turned out I already had a motor in being rebuilt, $2500 later, no more smoke from the Gemini. I have to say I was really pissed when I got that letter as I do regularly maintain all my cars and I felt it quite insulting to get the letter when honestly, there wouldn't be a to many BCC busses getting around blowing less smoke into the atmosphere than the Gemini was at that time. I would like a dollar every time I followed a boosted import belching rich fuel smoke into the atmoshpere because they are too cheap to boost their car properly (ie. adjust the A/F mixture properly). Yeah, report a smokey vehicle, but remember I don't know too many people who would be able to swap/rebuilt a motor the instant it starts smoking. If I had got a second letter during the 2 months it took me to organise a motor rebuild, raise the funds and get time off work and had to get a full machinery at my cost because of it, I would have been super pissed. Especially considering it took the QLD Transport department 3 months from the sighting to actually get the letter to me!
