How do you read point 7
"Promptly notify Vicroads of modifications outside of vehicle standards or modification guidelines or safety issues for any club permit vehicles endorsed by the club.
Clubs must promptly notify members of suspected safety issues or non-compliance with the Vehicle Standards and/or modifications guidelines and require that these issues are rectified within 14 days. If issues are not resolved by the member within 14 days, the club must notify Vicroads."
to suggest that no action is required. It is written in very clear English that is not open to interpretation. (unlike the old regulations)
Clubs that continue to allow non compliant cars to remain on club permit open themselves to liability issues and the potential to have their approval revoked.
Any club allowing a rush on club permit inspections between now and the 31/1 should probably expect some extra scrutiny from Vicroads.
Sorry, I didn't read the link, just the paperwork that was sent to clubs. In particular the section reading:
Existing club permit vehicles that may not meet vehicle standards
While VicRoads will not actively identify existing modified vehicles for re-certification, periodically modified vehicles are reported to VicRoads as unroadworthy and/or inappropriately modified and VicRoads is required to take action when this occurs. In such instances, VicRoads will write to the permit holder avising them to request that their club re-assess the vehicle in accordance with the new requirements.
Clubs may also choose to re-certify certain existing modified vehicles and seek that the vehicle be issued with an "M" modified club permit plate.
So for existing modified cars on H plates you're fine until you get reported or the club requests you change to H-plates. Not a bad way for VicRoads to get all of the un-engineered old cars off the road!
