Title: MCC's read re blinker issues in NSW Post by: braando on December 20, 2013, 12:11:08 PM On Tuesday the MCC of NSW in the form of Christopher Burns attended the latest meeting of the Vehicle Standards Working Group (VSWG).
The Minister for Roads congratulated the MCC and Transport for NSW on their collaborative effort in clearing up the motorcycle blinker issue. Riders had been defected for rear blinkers not being 300mm apart when the road rules stated in part that they could be as close together as 180mm. Discussion led to a gazettal of a change of road rules to remove any confusion for our states finest. Rear blinkers are now set at minimum of 180mm apart. The issue of fender eliminators was also raised and we will work through that one in 2014 but rest assured there will be a change. We also raised the issue of statutory write offs for motorcycles and we may have some good news on that one as well. I am seeking clarification on the exact laws as they are not clear but it seems you can re-register Stat write offs in a couple of ways. Once we have the info we will spread it around.

And the stat right off is pretty silly , where a car can be repaired why a bike becomes a stat so easily is madness , although I was pretty happy with my recent result. Maybe the bloke that has won the bid on my old 695 can get her back on the road but by the look of the pool of oil under it .........maybe not a good plan. http://www.manheim.com.au/recreation/item/itemunavailable?itemID=000000000003963121 (http://www.manheim.com.au/recreation/item/itemunavailable?itemID=000000000003963121) Title: Re: MCC's read re blinker issues in NSW Post by: Betty on December 20, 2013, 02:54:17 PM http://www.manheim.com.au/recreation/item/itemunavailable?itemID=000000000003963121 (http://www.manheim.com.au/recreation/item/itemunavailable?itemID=000000000003963121) Ex-council?
