Default Vehicle inspections



Does anyone know if they pick guard clearance during pit inspections or just ride height?

Guard clearance doesn't come into play unless you've got a heap of rubber protruding them. When I got done for being too low they said the lowest part of the car whether it be structural or not, cannot be less than 100mm or so with a full load.

Ensure the rest of the car is in check as they ended up failing me and chucking a heap of other irrelevant shit on the list to rectify.

If you're scraping tyres on guards when they do the test drive, they're going to have something to say about it.

Every yellow i've had removed has involved a test drive.

I've had about four IIRC, not one did. Then again, Perth's requirements/procedures may be different although I doubt it.

It's a requirement at my local Dept. of Transport approved workshop, no matter the car. I know for a fact it's not the inspectors just taking them for joyrides.
