There is no requirement for an annual RWC. If police suspect that a vehicle is no longer roadworthy, they will order it to be inspected. I think the system might be different in NSW.

As far as I know, only in dubberland and the Territory do you need a RWC for renewal of rego.

AFAIK they do about 30K miles a year. Since your average provate motor needs an MOT every 12-15K miles (on average) I'd say that cabs should be tested every 6 months or 15K miles, whichever comes sooner.

I do something like 40,000k per year. A fair percentage of that on rough unsealed roads. The car gets serviced regularly, but hasn't had a roadworthy since I bought it. My mechanic and I make sure it's safe.

How do you get rego without a roadworthy?

*sigh*
I should take a leaf out of your book and carry on about your ignorance and inaccuracies, but it really isn't worth it. Just remember - the rest of the world does not operate the same way as dubberland. Fortunately.

Nice response to a question . . . luckily other forummers, sans chip, answered this for me.

1) Check the previous post. No chip.
2) They were here, I wasn't. Very kind of them to help out.
3) Most posts, biggest hypocrite. This forum wouldn't be the same without you.

So in other words, you didn't check the Deputy Mayor's CV properly, Boris.
