Agree about choice of car - no accounting for taste, especially mine.I don't like these threads where poeple claim "there is poeple abusing the system everywhere" ..... To this I call "bullshit". I'm sure it happens, but I'm guessing 99.99999995% of the cars on the scheme are just poeple like you and me that want to tinker with there old cars.
Now the bit I REALLY hate is where other poeple claim "XXX car isn't a classic, they are abusing the scheme.". Especially if its something like a crappy old commadore .... Just because YOU don't care about these cars, doesn't mean others don't. The generation that grew up in the back seat of these "plastic era commodores" ... or drove them when they were teenagers are now wanting them as project cars. Each generation considers the cars they grew up in the backseat of as a "classic" in there eyes. The old stuff has less and less popularity around the world every single day as the generations that grew up with them slowly die off .... eg: How many want to own and restore pre-war cars these days ....
Just let poeple enjoy what they like, and if its not your cuppa tea .... just move along, its nothing to do with you
BUT tradie‘s utes full of tools on their way to a job? Clear violation of Victorian scheme
Similarly use of car every day when scheme allows 40 or 90/year
ONe bloke was stopped by Mr Plod. Showed logbook filled in in pencil with the right date.
Cop „Outta the car, you’re busted“
„But I‘ve filled it in for today“
„Yes but we‘ve got you on number plate cam for the last week. Nothing here in the logbook about that“
AT least in Victoria they are starting to get serious, so the dodgy logbook trick may not fly quite so well, but I do still worry about the scheme being spoiled for those who really need it
THey have also raided a few car clubs on monthly meeting night, finding few had logbooks filled in, so care is needed.
Best Wishes
