There is no law about car having to be road worthy on the driveway. Just sounds dumb. You can argue car parked on driveway until mobile tyre fitter arrives to fit new tyres.

Judge should easily withdraw this bs.

If be raging if my car got defected whilst in Perth.

There is no law about car having to be road worthy on the driveway.

no, but there is also no law stating it doesnt have to be, as before, if its not behind something locked or on another vehicle/trailer its open to them being able to do it.

So what about those old registered classics that sit in the owners front yard waiting for the day they resto them? What happens there? Police come into our land and issue us with penalties, This is madness!

Argue it. What do you have to lose? Only have something to gain.

Photo proof shows cop being said dog.

Get in touch with respective ombudsman regarding cops.

Do it top bloke

Alright Mr Tough Cookie from Perth. :P

Yeh it's this. There's stupid loopholes that allow them to get away with it. If the car is registered they can defect if, even if its on a driveway. If they have the believe that it'll be driven on public roads( which they do due to registration) then they can defect it. Technically shopping centre car parks are private property, they'd still defect you there.. What difference does your driveway make.. It's shit, but that's Vic

You were waiting for 10 weeks so far?

Who did you buy the wheels off?

9 weeks sorry.

Fact I was told 1 week first of all and it keeps getting blown out more and more is pissing me off.

I bought them from a place which alot of people from melb recommend for tyres/wheels.

Did you buy a GTT also man?!

same as ay ay ron said, if its not behind a locked gate/garage door OR on another vehicle/trailer then its fair game.

if its being towed on a car trailer/flat bed (or even parked stationary), they can defect the flat bed or the trailer but not the car on it, thats how the rules work here #summernatsdefectavoidancetactics

I hear alot from both sides of the argument

Does someone actually have any legal reference to back this up?

This was discussed on another forum I read, and some lawyer girl replied this this when discussing driveways and the road rules which may apply to a residential driveway being a public place:

q. It's about the police searching a private property for a vehicle

a. Umm no, it is about inspecting the Roadworthy condition on private residential property.

q. Which road rules are you talking about? Because many of the road rules do apply regardless of where you are.

a. Road rules do not apply on private residential property, they only apply on roads and road related areas (as defined by your state).

Go ask your legal team Aaron, say this stubborn Asian guy that says you can't reposses the car as its on private property :P

Though I'm assuming you guys can becuase something to do with taking back something that is now your property due to default payments

edit: From what I have read:

The Driveway leading up to the council footpath is Public property

Beyond the footpath, the Driveway on your land inside the 'boundaries' of your property is private property

My brothers problem is probably that he was seen driving it 15 mins prior, I'm guessing considering the timing.

But still, you get home in a skyline and you think you're safe, maybe not now days.

Don't get me wrong, I used to love skylines but thank f**k I don't own one of these things anymore, I just couldn't handle the headf**ks sooo annoying and too busy stressing about defects / EPAs rather than enjoying the car when driving it. #subtlefordfanboy/bogan

I'll keep you guys updated anyway.

BaaaaaAM. We can repo from behind an unlocked gate, even on private property. But if its locked we need a warrant.

I doubt the police wouldn't be able to If we can..

NZ is worse, lol we can physically break into the house without a warrant and do as much damage as we want to the lock/door/gate/garage to recover our assets lol

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
