I tend to agree with Graham unlike the response below, fairy tales???, nope, have had the opportunity to watch corruption at its best in NSW.
According to RTA, they have a scheme, where-as, transport companies can do their own inspections on their vehicles and just send the paper-work to RTA, who then send out all the rego. stickers for the fleets.
Here I am driving a 24 wheeler with the floor completely rusted away, and watching the black-stuff pass me by, whilst over on the windscreen is the rego sticker saying this semi passed inspection.
You can't miss these companies, they have a transfer sticker with half-a-dozen red ticks going down saying this company is an accreditated company for inspections, my company was in SA, but the fleet worked in NSW, but, regos were handed out in SA, cheaper, even when other interstate ppl moved here, if they lived here for more than 3 months, must by LAW, change their registration to comply with NSW.
But it would seem, interstate companies are exempt.
I remember good-ol-days, when I couldn't get my heap of crap registered, I went down the street to another, whose charges were a six-pack and a carton, no worries, times have changed
Every time I was up in Qld, I was amazed at the number of really really clapped-out vehicles on roads, so much rust and all passed inspection, what inspection??
I wish we had todays laws 40 yrs ago,then I would not have bought the mini-moke with a cement floor, a what, your kidding, nope, hits with hammer, thud, thud, NOT clunk clunk, LOL LOL
