Letter From Epa In The Mail

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

off topic

But can someone dob you in for speeding, tail gating then the police send you an infringement or something?

some woman beeped at me today as I passed her.

Here's a copy of the notice, you will notice a inspection at the lidcombe EPA office isn't required.

[GTR032]

I'm wasting my time talking sense about this, because just about everyone are wimps and won't have a go "you can't beat them, etc"  You're right, you can't if you won't try.  The law [any law] is not based on opinion, or the direction of the wind, etc., etc. 

I looked up the EPA legislation on the net, and of course, it's the same. No guesswork. Things have got to be done according to the law. Just as you are supposed to comply, so have the ppl in the ETA, or the police, or whatever. This does'nt mean they won't try it on, BUT only you can let them get away with it.Stop out of the City on Sat night, etc. What a bloody weak response.

For your info [not that anyone will have the bottle to use it] Before an 'Authorised Officer' can issue a notice, which requires rectification, the noise level has to be tested by a quite rigorous proceedure, by a qualified person. Then, and only then can a notice be PROPERLY issued.  The legislation says that in a much longer fashion, of course.  SO, you can't just get one LEGALLY out of the blue, because you drive a Skyline. So there, I've wasted my time telling you, You can all lie back down again now, ready to get walked on again.

Im definitely going to contact the EPA and enquire as to I was never pulled over for an actual test and still received this notice.

cheers

How about you relax and stop carrying on with such an abusive and inflammatory attitude towards members of the forum? I think you're the only one who needs to lie down.

Under Division 26(1)(a) of the Protection of the Environment Operations (Noise Control) Regulation 2000, if an authorised officer is satisfied that a motor vehicle emits noise at a level in excess of the maximum noise level specified...may issue a defective vehicle notice.

The Act specifies testing procedures but does nowhere state that an authorised officer must test a vehicle before they can issue a notice.

So next time before you decide to misinform everyone here, why don't you yourself take a look at the provisions in a bit more detail.

It's simple, you're wrong. Read ALL the Act - not just the bit that seems to suit your arguement. As for lying down, I never have, I've beaten almost every fine or infringement I've ever been issued {including Camera ones] If even most people 'had a go', the system could'nt cope, and you would'nt get harrased because of the kind of car you drive. Direct some of your energies to fighting for your rights, and fighting petty officials, trying to make themselves important at other ppls expense, not me. Half a brain would tell you, I'm on your side. Like I said, stand up!!

Jono,

My mate has the exact same letter and hand writing. It says he has to get it cleared at an exhaust shop and then mail the receipt(proof that something was done to get it under 90db) to clear the notice.

[R34NOS]
