any1 know if justcar's roadworthy policy applies throughout Aus or just with the state's laws ?

we all know each state has different rules about car mods etc. but i wanted to know if justcar's roadworthy policy was different in every state. or do justcar extract all of the state's law and use them as a whole.

coz i rang up justcar letting them know that i've applied stickers onto my car. the customer service rep said the stickers must be roadworthy etc otherwise i will not be payed in the event of a claim. i kinda freaked out from here since i never knew stickers "may" be seen as a defect.

also, any1 here have vicroad's technical support email or ph no. ? please dont give me the one off the site as ive used it many times to ask questions and none of the responses they gave me answered my question directly.

any help would be good.

Stickers that are on the car and non reflective and don't obscure vision would be ok.

I think they're kinda disclaiming themselves agains't idiots who put fat ass'ed ye olde english "HONDA" and "HOLDEN" stickers on their cars that cover half the windshield.

If it's not against the law, then it should be.

Reflective stickers can be a real distraction when they reflect the sun into your face.

It's no different to driving behind those morons who think it's a good idea to hang those crystal orb things off their rear view mirror...... ever been stuck in traffic behind someone who has one of those?

If you're compelled to rice your car, do it in a way that doesn't affect other road users around you... sometimes all you need is common sense. :)

when ever i called Justcars to ask question's i always get different answears from different reps. it might be a good idea to call the second time "even thought it's annoying that you have to wait" to ask the same question and you'll see what i mean, specially if there new on there job.

One thing to note as I have friends working in insurance is that if you enquire about something for you car in the past, they will have the information in front of them on the screen.

eg. rang on friday.. can I have these 18" wheels on my car? can I have a learner driver drive it?

Claim on sunday... I crashed my car...

The first thing they'll check in detail is the wheels, and who was driving

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
