Agree, in South Australia all thanks have to be removed and certified after 10 years. No proper roadworthiness testing here.
The government should cop at least 50% of blame for allowing these dangerous vehicles to carry passengers.
Everyday you see dangerous vehicles on road, tyres sticking out past body 6 inches or more. Guess that idea is to rip legs off motorcycle riders or people walking.
Brake and indicator lights all colors and flashing erratically.
I have never ever had brakes tested on renewal inspections.
I operated school transport vehicles for 20 years, the inspections were not easy to pass. Fail a small think $200 reinspection fee, so guess what we made sure everything correct first time.
