Pre 1989 scheme LHD Question

<< < (2/2)

Loosecannon:
I have emailed the Team leader of the RTA Technical centre, who obviously  doesn't understand the document, nor will comment

I asked how table works, and why do the 'Subject notes" state it CAN be LHD under the "Pre 89 Vehicles"

Then how does the table on page 8 "Summary of requirements for registering an imported vehicle in NSW", and the subject note 4 below the table work?.... what is the relevance of this, meaning etc? When is this applied

Regards
David

David,
 
I am not responsible for the content of this document, I cannot comment on the way it is worded, or how it is put together, if you require this information, please contact the Centre For Road Safety, it's their publication.
 
The Road Transport ( Vehicle Registration )  Regulation 2007, Schedule 2 , determines the requirement for L/H/D registration, the law does not allow for the registration of a L/H/D vehicle unless it is over 30 years old and is under 4.5 tonne GVM.

This is what most people understand it to be.  If you want to take the risk do so but expect to wait until your 88 model is 30 years old or till you can save up for a conversion.

I missed that you said  an  88 model
Stephen is correct  it will have to be 30 years old
so technically you will have to wait untill 2018 .

How ever vehicles do slit  through the system
But I have not seen   the particular  one get though ( under  30 years )
there are lot of other abnormalities that do get through.
