Hi all, Just quickly to let everyone know going to Drag Time, that I (and whoever else rocks up) will be going to Yatala BP for a quick meet, bit of breakfast and some fuel before heading out on the day to Willowbank. Anyone is welcome, and sorry, I won't be stopping at Goodna like last time, just heading straight to the track (although if a few people want to meet there as well, feel free to post it, and I will add it to this initial post). Seems there's a Brisbane meet now, same times as the Yatala meet, just at Milton Maccas instead. Date: Sunday 28th October Time: 6.45am, for a 7.15am leave (should get us there for 8am when the track opens) Place: Yatala BP for Gold Coasters. Milton Maccas for Brisbanites. Remember to bring your toll money, as there's a couple on the way out.  SKEZZ WILL BE AT MILTON. JAGO WILL BE AT YATALA This post has been edited by RetardedMonkey: Oct 23 2007, 04:04 PM --------------------   |

Why not do one from milton Macca's then you could just jump on the western freeway to Ipswich motorway?? Or a meeting place somewhere just off the western freeway near Jindalee or something? |

Well i guess the plan would be to take spare tyres that are legal and make sure all your mods are legit & blue plated. Anyone that has dodgy mods deserves to be toasted anyway * I bet now i've said that, i'll get nailed (checks mods) * |

The word on the street was they had hired 30+ trailers for the previous Jamboree. This is due to switch having the ability to impound cars that are deemed defective. Never eventuated however.. Hopefully this isnt the time... And im keen for the cruise out also. |

Vehicles can be impounded if a driver commits: More than one offence; (See below for offence types) Of the same kind; Within a 3 year period; After 1 July 2007; In the North Coast and/or Southern police regions. First offence is prosecuted by way of a Notice to Appear or Summons, where in the past a ticket (e.g. defective/ Unregistered & Uninsured) may have been issued. Then: 1. Second offence unlicensed = vehicle impounded 48 hrs + court appearance 2. Second offence drink driving = vehicle impounded 48 hrs + court appearance 3. Second offence unregistered and uninsured = vehicle impounded 48 hrs + court appearance 4. Second offence non-compliant vehicle = vehicle impounded 48 hrs + court appearance (48 hours impound or until the commencement of the next business day after that 48 hours) 3RD Offence - 3 months Impound. Vehicle impounded 48 hrs in first instance then court application to hear the 3 month impound application. 4TH Offence - Vehicle Forfeiture. Vehicle impounded 48 hrs in first instance then court application to hear the Vehicle Forfeiture application. Selling the vehicle after the after 3rd/4th offence and prior to the 3 month impound/forfeiture order is an offence. Modifying the vehicle after 3rd/4th offence and prior to 3 month impound/forfeiture order is an offence. If your vehicle is impounded YOU will pay the towing and holding yards costs. Point 4 is probably the most important one for EVERY members as it would affect a high proportion of US. It includes all the following offences: The prescribed illegally modified vehicle offences, listed in the Transport Operations (Road Use Management – Vehicle Standards and Safety) Regulation 1999 (VSSR), are as follows: 5(1)(a) Vehicle not fitted with equipment as required by the Vehicle Standards 5(1)( Fitted equipment does not comply with the Vehicle Standards 5(1)(f) Optional equipment does not comply with optional equipment as required by the Vehicle Standards 5(1)(g) Stationary noise levels does not comply with Vehicle Standards 9(1) Drive motor vehicle with silencing device modified so as to reduce effectiveness 9(2) Modify vehicle’s silencing device so as to reduce effectiveness 30(1) Owner failing to obtain approval for vehicle modifications 30(2) Authorised officer approving modifications which are not allowed 30(3) Authorised officer not ensuring modification plate is stamped with modification 30(4) Non accredited authorised officer authorising modification approvals 30(5) Tampering with modification plate So basically ANY modification that is NOT factory fitted or that carries a Modification Plate or Engineer's Cert. Up until now vehicle mods have not been dealt with by way of a fine through tickets and possibly the repair of your vehicle. To be real clear about these changes I will use the following example: You get intercepted for having an after market steering wheel. You WILL get a court appearance for an illegal modification/defect. The penalty will be decided by the magistrate. 1 year later you are driving your mate’s car and he has a fibreglass bonnet. You WILL get a court appearance for an illegal modification/defect. The penalty will be decided by the magistrate. Your mate’s car WILL be impounded for 48hours. 2 years later you are driving your car (it’s new and different to the first car). You have an exhaust which has been modified to reduce effectiveness. i.e. most every after market exhaust can that is not a standard exhaust is illegal. You WILL get a court appearance for an illegal modification/defect. The penalty will be decided by the magistrate. Your car WILL be impounded for 48hours. An application will be made for a 3 month impounding order. 2 years and 11 months later you are driving your mum’s car. You have put green lights on the water jets on the bonnet of her car to jazz it up a bit for her. You WILL get a court appearance for an illegal modification/defect. The penalty will be decided by the magistrate. Her car WILL be impounded for 48hours. An application will be made for a permanent forfeiture order of her car. As this is to impress 'Joe Public' I can only assume this will NOT be at the Officers Discretion. I would be fairly confident these new laws will be pushed pretty hard. I hope this has helped you all somewhat. Just don't be blind sided when this happens to you. And please remember **THE POLICE ARE JUST DOING THEIR JOB, SHOW RESPECT AND GET RESPECT IN RETURN** I am sure they don't like doing this either, so just think before you start randomly abusing Officers. The new laws DO NOT affect the Gold Coast for another 12 months. BUT if you drive through the other areas e.g. Ipswich or Noosa you are subject to the laws. This post is based on FACTS not things my brothers cousin's uncle told me over a BBQ. Ok, let me explain this again in less ahem "complicated" terms as it seems many here can't grasp what I am saying. Simple way to think about it: If you can get a defect for it, then the car can be impounded, and forfieted for it. (All after a court rulings of course). Yes: Defects are now dealt with in the courts, but the fines aren't $75 and 1 point, they are now much larger fines (as imposed by a magistrate) "and" the impound of the car, similar to the current 'hoon' laws. So..............."if" you can mod plate it and make it legal, you wont lose the car for it. (As long as the mod plate is legit). Therefore........"if" you CAN'T mod plate it, and it is currently a defect (examples: ANY aftermarket exhaust, Neon Lights, Atmo BOV's, Screamer Pipes, LOWERED VEHICLES (under 100mm), Carbon Fibre Bonnet, Illegal Lights, Bald Tyres...............the list goes on)...............THESE offences will cause you to LOSE you car under these new laws. So the original post is 100% correct and doenst need updating. If you have a mod plate, you cant get a defect for THAT mod, can you? (No). Therefore it is not a defect. However, you can mod plate some part and still get a defect for something else on the car. |

I guess we will all have to see what happens on the day. But i guess this also gives us a chance to put some good behaviour points on the board for the enthusiest (sp) In just cruising out to the destination with no fuck ups cool, thanks for clearing that up So any mod that is blue plated should be ok? |

It's the perfect place to enjoy your car and well done to Ang for organising it. And most importantly this is all heresay, we probably have nothing to worry about. |
