Hey all I've just taken a deposit for my 1995 R33 skyline series 1.5, Its been racv inspected and got the green light, but they pointed out my muffler was cracked and my window screen needed attention because it has a scratch/marks from the wipers, anyway I'm replacing the muffler tommorow, is it possible to pass without the windscreen being replaced, I'm trying to find a lineient road worthy tester,

Any recommendations?

These are the rules...(from Vicroads Roadworthy)

"Wear or Damage

During the service life of a vehicle, the windscreen and windows may incur various types of damage. Testers are

advised that deterioration from the as new condition is allowable and a windscreen or window with minor

damage should not be rejected.

A windscreen should only be rejected if;

• it is discolored, badly scratched, fractured or chipped within the area wiped by the windscreen wiper(s) to the extent that the drivers vision is so impaired that the vehicle cannot be driven safely; or,
  
• in the case of a laminated windscreen, it has any crack that penetrates more than one layer of glass, or
  
• in the case of a laminated windscreen, it has one or more bulls eyes or star fractures over 16mm in diameter or one or more cracks over 150mm in length in a single layer of glass within the area wiped by the windscreen wiper(s). One or more bulls eyes or star fractures up to 16mm in diameter and cracks up to 150mm in length in a single layer of glass within the area wiped by the windscreen wiper(s), are allowable provided that they do not impair the drivers vision to the extent that the vehicle cannot be driven safely.

"

Seems that some testers don't know their cracks from their bulls eyes. One tester I went to said he'd fail me for tiny chips in my windscreen (which clearly didn't meet any of the above criteria), but it got a clean bill of health from another tester. It's a right pain in the butt that testers are so inconsistent!

Can't help you with a tester in that area though, sorry.

You will always get testers with different leniencies.

If it is straight transfer and for you a lot of testers are more lenient.

If you are selling I find they are more harsh (sometimes a lot more harsh)

We have been audited 2 times in past year and have another next week.

They are really cracking down and missing/disregarding something as small as a windscreen defect is not worth the risk.
