New Defect Fines

[2FST4U.R33]

A crazy new implementation from Minister for Transport, Pat Conlon, will see motorists charged a $120 fine for minor defects, and $250 fine for major defects, on top of the fees for clearing the defect notice.

all information is here

That is honest to God totally f**ked. In other words, if they don't like you... be prepared for a fine; not sure about others but if they looked hard enough they can find a defect of some sort.

If this gets out of control I can see myself not registering my car.

Yeah no joke man this is bullshit. A cop can just defect you for suspicion of being detectable even if its not. There is no point on even driving even a slightly modified car. eg having a pod filter or even just having a seat belt which doesn't retract properly.

It's pretty much giving SA pol smokers the right to f**k you over if they feel like it...

99% of defects I see are given under Suspicion...

Without actually any hard proof of damage/defect....

What happened to innocent til proven guilty ?

Makes me so glad I don't own a street rego car anymore

Not worth it in communist SA.

A firm f**k you to SA government.

"The Motor Trade Association's SA president, Colin Clark, said a blown light bulb was an example of a fault which would incur a $120 fine and a defect sticker."

[SatchiThaStagea]

And they keep saying they do this kind of stuff to make roads safer. Total BS if you ask me, revenue raising at its most blatant.

Makes me AAAHHHRRR!

More importantly where the f**k in Adelaide can I quarter mile test my car in controlled conditions?I have no way to explore my interests in my vehicles capability, and the stigma behind modified cars on the road highlights an obvious need for a full scale facility. Higher fines, double demerits and other scare tactics seem to be the only efforts the authorities are implicating, but there is still no evidence that any revenue from SAPOL has been utilized to fix our roads, provide better learner driver training, drink driving rehabilitation, fatigue management (these being things I myself would focus on) Meanwhile, even though I consider myself to be a curteous

well after completely f**king up the budget in getting Adelaide oval revamped, they need to recover the extra money spent somehow. To be totally honest this government is making things in this state worse and worse by the day, yet i don't f**king see the roads getting any better. Soon you will get fined for sneezing in the car. Arrrgh this state government is frustrating me every time they open their big flaps arrrgh

Lol, and rego fees going up as of 1st July.....

So there saving money on not sending out stickers,

But feel the need to raise renewal fees due to " 3rd party insurance going up 2.5%"

Cash grab much

On top of carbon tax that will be passed onto consumers

Water rates going up

Petrol prices

Food prices

Yet our pay stays the same....
