upto you man, but there's been alot of cops around latley.

i can't confirm 100% that they don't keep a record but I have a mate who got defected (minor), cleared it and 2 days later got pulled over, he decided to lie and say his car is still defected. Cops said oh, checked his license went back to car came back and they said well we can't find out if your defected or not but we'll give you another one just incase.. then he got a major ROFL.

Defects are part of the game, gotta pay to play get used to it lol :) if it makes you feel any better one of my mates has about 8 defects under his name haha

A friend of mine was threatened with being taken to court for knowingly modifying his vehicle to be in unsafe condition after 2 or 3 defects for too low.
I'm not sure if this was due to a recorded history on the system, or the recorded history in the TMU officers head.

Lol I do the rwc checks here we got a system on our computers we have to send photos to them, we keep a record of the photos and Vicroads keeps a record of it aswell whether they actually look at it or not I don't know or maybe they keep it on their system for auditing purposes I don't know but everytime a car gets a rwc photos are taken of the vin, rego(if registered), vehicle with the wheels off, and vehicle infront of the workshop with the workshop sign in the background, then sent to Vicroads. That's what I've been personally instructed by Vicroads and we work right next to them *shrugs*

the guys at work who do rwc's dont send photos in afaik from what they have told me

It's still pretty new, things will be more clear over time lol

Yea, the garage I go to is holding photos at the moment for audits. They aren't sending anything in.

It's a waste of time really taking these dam photos can be a pain especially with some of the awkward location of the vin numbers, slows everything down.

Alright guys just had a chat with one of our customers which work at Vicroads. Confirmed that the photos are to be stored on business hard drive for auditing purposes. The bigger companies like ours are stored in an Intranet hard drive which Vic roads can get access to if needed for any reasons, so it doesnt directly get sent to them but on the system for them to access, smaller workshops don't have these facilities so they're just kept on a business hard drive. Sorry for any misleading info guys hope this clears things up

Ohhh alright :o I still got another 2 weeks before I should do anything? If they bust me before then, both the place that did my RWC ( you guys ) and I are screwed? :S
