http://www.rta.nsw.gov.a...00408_car_rebirthing.pdfI like the part where some classic antique cars will be exempt from the new laws. How does the RTA define a "classic antique car"?

I watched that...... What a load of bureaucratic bulls***, try being a responsible Government for once and regulate the repair industry... How about simply conducting more thorough roadworthy and safety checks on repaired vehicles??
Nooo, just ban them altogether and watch insurance premiums skyrocket...

Sounds like you might want to reconsider if you insure your classic car in NSW.

They re-rego them and then say they are a danger?what a cop out.Going on that logic they shouldnt defect cars at all,if its ok to register them thru their own words (being unroadworthy)unsafe,they have made the same bad decision as someone driving it. QUOTE: How about simply conducting more thorough roadworthy and safety checks on repaired vehicles?? GEE THERES A THOUGHT. They wont because it will leave them open to legal challenge.BUT THEY SHOULD BECAUSE THEY DO IT WE IT SUITS THEM IN THE DEFECT STATIONS>>>>D#$@KHEADS!!! so now when you smash into a guy ,you can just say ,yeah, sorry bout that mate but I voted for the other guy!....lol Jim in Adelaide...Hindsight is bad vision!

This sounds like another stupid idea that has not being been properly thought through.
What happens to the entire wrecking/parts recycling industry. Where do they source their cars. Another addition to the jobs queue ?
Also what happens to all the panel shops than try to supplement their income by repairing write-offs (properly & legally by the way). It is now so difficult to make money from insurance jobs. Do they just close up & put their guys on the job queue as well.
These idiots have effectively killed our manufacturing sector, now they want to start on the service sector. I have a good idea, why dont they dismiss half of the political sector, they may actually lead to an improvement.
I realise NSW has the worst politicians in the country & the RTAs sole purpose is to raise revenue for them, but do any of these f#@kwits live in the real world. Dont answer, I already know.
I have another quick question. With politicians (both federal & state) wasting money at alarming rates, not to mention thinking up hair-brained schemes like the above & the economy going down faster than you can count it, why does the media keep on telling us that everything is so good & our economy is the best in the world.

further to my comments above...after reading and rereading that statement from them and making a couple of phone calls i now understand that this is the same thing they have been trying to do for years in nsw.. in a nutshell all cars sent to auctions in nsw will be stat right offs and can only be sold to dealers but they can still be wrecked out... geez i reckon the insurance companies will be repairing a lot more cars.. going to church makes you no more a christian than standing in a garage makes you a car... www.classicozwreck.com.au |

I wonder what constitutes a "classic antique" car?
I wonder if this eliminates the classic car insurance "repairer of choice = owner" clauses?

Has this law actually been implemented from yesterday? Ive got about $15000 tied up in a late model Hiace Minibus which is almost ready to be re-registered. The only reason it was written off was because the insurance company would have had to pay loss of income as some of the parts werent available in Oz.
I reckon Ive had at least a dozen cars bought from the auctions. Nothing fancy, ED falcons, a Camira , couple of commodores, statesman. None of them had any real major damage. Camira was stolen recovered and I drove it straight for a rego inspection and it passed straight away. Made good money out of a lot of those cars and gave me a lot of cheap reliable motoring.

I was led to believe that in NSW if you present a repairable writeoff for rego after it has been repaired they made you prove that you have only used legitimate parts by providing receipts for everything.
I suppose the insurance industry will be auctioning off vehicles that are not write offs but "uneconomical to repair"

Personally I think its a reasonable idea except they should have given it far more consideration, for instance, inserting a simple clause which articulates this law only applying to cars under 10 years old would have been more credible as there is little value in older cars other than somebody legitimately looking to purchase a car for good value and for transport.
Just like the Home Insulation Package (Fed Govt) and the corruption surrounding the SYDNEY METRO its policy on the run absolutely no thoughts or input from interest groups or the public. This is a excellent example of the NSW state government practicing contemporary bastardised Marxism whilst responding well to commercial television such current affairs programs using their kpis (information on their viewing audiences) to translate into buying votes. Cheap and cunning!!!
I SAY LETS GIVE THIS pathetic NSW LABOUR Government a good shift kick in the backside in Mar2011 giving them the same treatment little Johnny got!

I agree with the last sentence except maybe people will learn from the last Federal election. They got rid of the Conservatives for possibly something worse! Look at a few of the disasters so far: Education Revolution, Home Insulation Package, Dismantling of Workchoices. One can only wonder what is going to happen with the new Rudd health setup. I only hope they think harder about it before implementation and we see another quality idea end up in a disaster like the other follies!
I think youll find the ban on repairable writeoffs will end up as another NSW Labor government lemon. Keep hassling your Coalition local State member or shadow member on it and the news might filter up to an election promise...but dont hold your breath.
