Qld roadside imision tests ?

[Tony Nitrous]

This came from what is normaly a quite reputable source of info.
(obviously it only aplies to newer bikes factory fitted with cat-converters)

Make of this what you will ..............

"They have the instruments which detects your emissions, if the cat/emissions has been tampered with your bike will be immediately de-registered, number plate and rego sticker removed, and vehicle deemed unroadworthy. You then have to get someone to tow it back to your place and rectify the problem, get a new RWC before presenting the bike at QT for re-rego. The fine is $600.00 and 4 points. This initiative was proposed last year by the Bligh Government but rejected, a further study into it revealed that 1 in 3 motorcycles have aftermaket exhausts with the actual cat removed. A further study revealed that the possible revenue raised from such defect will top the $20 million mark, something Anna decided to go after. New measuring instruments are now part of an officer's ever-growing number of gadgets available. At the moment everyone is eager to use them so be aware if your bike has no cat converter. The consequences are $$ and could result in loss of bike if individuals offend 3 times"

I find it hard to belive they will equip every car/wagon with a full 3 gas analiser when a simple visual inspection can acertain if the cat has been removed but hey it only tax payers money. I'm about to watch $6 million (5 armored trucks) get blown to shit just to see what flys off !

Do the jacks/ dot guys have the power to do this road side ? I was under the impression it was a pit inspection thing ????

Never seen bikes tested, but transport department can do mobile checks in Qld.

"What is on-road vehicle emissions random testing?
On-road vehicle emissions random testing is a free service offered by the Department of Transport and Main Roads. It involves motorists being randomly pulled over to have their exhaust tested by the Aircare team of transport inspectors"
