changes to the club permit system in vic

[Drift Motorsport]

Government organization that employs duds is bound to have important matters such as the club permit scheme fail initially. Government orgs don't fire people regularly enough, they just shuffle them around into new roles that do not either suit their work type or capacity.

If they ran Vic Roads like a proper corporation, a lot of things will get done correctly.

Needless to say, 6 months of BS before they get their act together is a small price to pay for 45 days of totally free club permit driving

Do you have to meet emissions laws (eg: no hi mount T51R turbo with management/fuel system etc) under club permit laws?

i had a meeting this morning with our local vic rds
they have given me a form to copy
just in case anyone has not received there log book in time
for hanging rock
so if you dont get your log book let me know before hand and i will give you the cover form
also the slim line club plates application s will be accepted from feb 14th

Log books came. One missing called Fergus (the co ordinator) who even agreeed to renew the missing log/permit although it was out of date. Simply put you keep your permits in the log books with the letter from Vic roads until you get the renewals, then you automatically get 90 days UNLESS you request 45 days. stickers will be issued with renewals only. Qed, Vic road a really helpful guy.Slim line plates already orderd. no delay. But $32 each.

Fergus just sent me renwal for GT, apologised for delay.

Saw the new application forms.
There are four or five lines for logging until you get your new log books.
This is for new permits only.

You use the log books they just sent out until permit expires then get new stickers with renewals.
A obliging gent.

Hopefully only a few more months and the crown will be ready to roll.

Its 3/4 through paint, then its onto the suspension work to ensure its all good.

Cant wait to actually drive the thing!

I called the listed number for fergus as per the letter and got through immediately.
His secretary was most obliging.

I got my log books yesterday, but no stickers!

So are they valid to use from Feb 1 without stickers in the log books or not!?!

I tried to ring VicRoads to check, but the lines are all jammed.

Yes Brett
Drive away no more to pay.
Just fill in the log book if you go 100 metres.

Strange question from someone with a slightly foggy head at the moment but is it a day as in date or time? for example is it,
i take my car out at 6pm and return home at say 3am (i live in ballarat), is that tech 2 days or is it 1 day,

[andrew_mx83]

as it was originally explained to me once it reaches midnite u have to fill it in for another day.... which is slightly ghey but i am slowly starting to think the new system is probably a good thing...

HUH?

Insurance runs out at midnight.
Interest is paid after midnight on bank accounts.
What dont you understand about how we measure time and date?
Unless you are a pilot when the day ends at 2359 UTC or 1000am EAST 1100 EASSSSt

maybe u can tell the cop u thought you were in London

[Silly Rabbit]

.....was that ^^^^^^ really necessary RT?????...i'm pretty sure Andrew understands Ians explanation

Thanks for that, was just trying to figure it out. For, say, if i was gonna go down to a meet and left the night before at say 6 and crashed at a mates in melbourne, went to a meet in the morning then headed home afterwards.
