Love the channel , Merry Christmas

[@Perspari]

Glad to hear the police prioritising major dangers of your car rather than catching criminals, makes total sense. Bit over the top tbh, sorry to hear you guys had to go through that.

[@grjh58]

Great video, is what it’s like on the road as we have found out over the last 9 months, that’s why you guys are so great your videos are real and genuine. Bet fixing all that up cost a few $$$ which hurts but as you say you had to do it and now you know all is good for 2023. The weather here in SA is the same, earlier this week had heater on in van and hot water bottles now got the air con on 😂😂😂. Hope you have a great Christmas and New Year and looking forward to your travels in 2023

I would've taken vehicle to licensing before repairs and asked them to test the tint% and see what they say about it before stripping it off but it sucks to be pinged on the eve of getting repairs well done in getting it done in a timely manner

100% that would have been a good idea! 👍 yeah its difficult on the road! Fortunately we had friends we could stay with while we arranged repairs as it took 2.5 weeks! Have a Merry Christmas 🎅

[@KevinD_33x150]

@@suelandolt6840 Yep, they see those interstate plates... As for window tinting, same rules across Oz. Plenty of "reputable" tinters going overboard & the poor bugger driving the "defective" vehicle cops the problems. As per ADR & all state reg's, if you've got side mirrors, the back half is OK. It's the front door windows to watch for. As some vehicles have a slight factory tint, adding to the problem. If your glass is marked with "TINTED" or "AS3 or "V", it pays to check before tinting. Have a good trip & safe travels. (Get out of Mexico, while the going is good!)

those rear rotors need to be machined, a pad slap is so wrong you can see the pads were not making contact with the whole rotor surface, and dark window tint is not a frivolous defect

[@suelandolt6840]

Thanks Paul, will have a look at it! Hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎅

[@tim18118]

Oh wow. So embarrassing as a Victorian! Haven’t seen tinted windows cause too many crashes in my time, and surely a caution re your windscreen would have been enough. Some of our HWP leave a LOT to be desired. Usually they’re not interested unless you’re speeding. Hope it didn’t mess with your plans too much and glad to see you back on the road!

[@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310]

Windows that are tinted too dark are often a target for the cops. They’re fine for 90% of driving, but when they’re too dark and it’s a dark rainy night it can really affect your side vision. Might seem trivial until you get taken out at an intersection by someone who simply didn’t see you in the dark.

[@tim18118]

@@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310 yeh, I’m still thinking there are larger, more significant road safety issues at hand that probably need more attention than some window tint.

[@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310]

@@tim18118 usually I’d say yes. But look at this case in isolation. It’s an rbt, the cops are there literally looking for shit wrong, that’s their job at that place and time. Who knows if it had only been one instead of three defects whether or not they would have gotten away with it. All three things are legitimate defects. They may not be the most serious of defects but defects they are. Ask yourself this, if it was a p plater in a ve commodore that got done for a busted windscreen, illegal tint and too much wheel poke would you have the same attitude? Or would it be “well, he kinda deserved that “….

[@tim18118]

@@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310 you have to take each case by case, if the VE was obviously someone’s pride and joy, or advertisement on wheels for their business / KZbin channel, then no. I still say a recorded caution would have absolutely been enough, not a full defect notice which the HWP knew was going to ruin someone’s holiday.

[@medi-growaustralia2913]

The windscreen yes in any state. But if your from a different state they cant defect for tint or some of the other silly little things they pick like rim size, to high, to low, coz each state has different regulations, they dont get people to strip their tint off at the border for a 2 week holiday in another state then get it re done when they get home or have to xhange suspension coz youre just passing through. Plus the defect doesnt carry over to another state, you have to be defected in that state

[@suelandolt6840]

Good to know! Yeah we chatted about that asbthe car didn't even need a roadworthy with the purchase/sale in SA. Will have to get more across the different states and requirements. Thanksnfor the info and hopenyou jave a great week.

Hi guys, I know what you are talking about with Melbourne's weather, was over there 2 weeks ago, could be the same time. Went over to pickup my new car and visit family and friends from WA. Had some very cold weather, then hot weather, then decided to drive home via the Great Ocean Road, beautiful warm sunny weather on Sunday, then Monday leaving day, freezing cold, raining and blowing a gale, that's Melbourne. Also can't believe they defected your car for window tint, bloody ridiculous. But listen to this, the roadworthy for my new was out of date by one day, VicRoads said you have 30 days to charge it into your name if going interstate. So had permission from owner, so off I went, but when I went to get WA roadworthy in Geraldton, he informed me that the car is now unregistered and uninsured, even though it still had 3 months Vic rego to go, because I said i brought the car it is automatically cancelled, but there is no record of that. So had to hand in the plates, get a 48 hours driving permit then get a roadworthy, then change it to my name, crazy stuff, drove for 2 days, 2 thousand K's unregistered and unsured.

The joys of interstate travel back in the 1980s I was driving a Victorian registered car and towing a small box trailer to Western Australia in Victoria the box trailer didn't need to be licensed only a copy of the tow car license plate had to be on it about 300 km into WA I was stopped and told I needed a permit to tow the trailer. I offered to sort it out in Perth but was made to do a trip back to the boarder a 600 km round trip

What a joke - your tint defected REALLY, If the cop opened his eyes and saw your cruiser was registered in SA continuously then your compliance is based on SA RULES AND GUIDELINES unless it breaches ADR’s. On the positive it did give you the time to do the necessary critical servicing and inspection of your awesome landcruiser ( a pinch of prevention is worth a pound of damage). In up coming vlogs could you give us a solid review on your new tyres ( I and many other people would be so grateful) too many tyres brands out there all with so many biased ( tyre company endorsed reviews), it truely is a nightmare.

[@grantlouw3182]

That’s not great, makes it a pain when each state has slightly different compliance rules.

[@suelandolt6840]

Hi Jonathon. We had to get it roadworthied to prove we had addressed the defect but as the car's rego is in SA they needed to send the clearance through to SA for the system.

Great video guys. Life is always going to find a way to puts its stamp on things 😂. Good work correcting things. Safe travels into Xmas.

[@suelandolt6840]

Very poor outcome for you guys, vicpol should be ashamed, sends a message not to travel through the nanny state of victoria

[@suelandolt6840]

Thanks Russell, hope you jave an awesome Christmas and new year 😀

[@glmaguire]

Feel for you guys - what waste of everyone’s time and energy, all over tint. Surely the VIC police have more important things to be doing than that

[@suelandolt6840]

Thanks for the support and comment, hope you have a great week and Christmas 🎄

[@glmaguire]

@@suelandolt6840 you guys have a very merry and safe Christmas

Humility is not in a Highway Patrolman's vocabulary. Regular cops are not pressured with quotas, and are not the one's going mach 1 in their high output BMW. A lot of cops don't apply for highway patrol just because of the toxic culture in some stations. Thankfully most regular cops are just regular people, men and women young and old. Sorry that you had a bad experience with the people in blue, hopefully it doesn't spoil your trip.

[@suelandolt6840]

Thanks Stephen, all good at least we had the opportunity to sort the car out and are now 100% confident it is compliant. Hope you have a great Christmas and new year. 😀 thanksnfor the support.

Makes it hard to respect the boys in blue when you get stung by a guy on his little power trip. A warning and on your way should have been ample. Wish you guys a very merry xmas. Cheers

[@suelandolt6840]

Thanks so much, appreciate your comment and support. Have a great week amd an awesome Christmas!

[@Bennyboy-dog]

One thing I don't understand. SA have their own roadworthy rules, VIC its own, now if you are registered in SA yet while in VIC, VIC rules apply right? If that is the case and you are travelling Australia you need to be aware and comply with all states roadworthy rules? How friggin complicated, expensive and restrictive is that piece of legislative bullshit?

[@Wilbargosh]

I would say your police person friend has helped you maintain your insurance and mitigated a few risks

[@suelandolt6840]

Yeah, it's good to knownwebare 100% compliant and good fortune next year of travel. Hope you jave a great Week!

[@Jon-cb3xy]

[@suelandolt6840]
