17.02.2022 Just in from The Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads. "Previously, the owner of a registered light vehicle needed to obtain a SC before offering the vehicle for sale. This requirement was first introduced when vehicles were commonly sold privately at the roadside or on vacant lots, and pre-dated the introduction of laws requiring motor dealers to be licensed under the Motor Dealers and Chattel Auctioneers Act 2014. From 1 September 2021, the owner is not require...d to obtain a SC before advertising the vehicle for sale or when it is first offered for sale by a motor dealer. It will also no longer be a requirement to display a blue SC label on a vehicle offered for sale. While it is no longer mandatory to obtain or display a SC when advertising vehicles, this does not prevent the seller or motor dealer from gaining and displaying a SC if it helps to sell the vehicle. It is important to note the seller will still need to obtain a SC before the sale is complete and the registration is transferred to the new registered operator."

21.01.2022 ** WE NEED YOUR HELP ** We don't want to abandon Trigger’s Big Trek.. Trigger and I have been on the road since September 2015 travelling around Australia raisi...ng awareness of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In that time, I believe we have helped make positive change in the lives of some Australian’s living with PTSD. We want to continue our mission and complete our campaign around Australia, however the cost's of travelling in the Land Rover are far higher than I had originally expected and I have exhausted my personal savings. Sadly, I’m now forced to ask for donations in order to keep going, or I will have no option but to abandon Trigger’s Big Trek. I refuse to set up a go fund me account (or any crowd funding) as I have always said I never would. Throughout our journey, Trigger and I have been amazed at the generosity of Australian’s and deeply touched by all the help and support we’ve received from so many people. I don’t want to ask for donations, but I don’t have any choice. Please help me help others and continue to raise awareness of PTSD by donating a small amount to the Triggers Big Trek account.

15.01.2022 Current penalties for speeding Less than 13km/h over the speed limit: $162 + 1 demerit point. At least 13km/h but not more than 20km/h over the speed limit:... $243 + 3 demerit points. More than 20km/h but not more than 30km/h over the speed limit: $406 + 4 demerit points. More than 30km/h but not more than 40km/h over the speed limit: $568 + 6 demerit points. More than 40km/h over the speed limit: $1,137 + 8 demerit points and 6 month suspension. Double demerit points Double demerit points apply in Queensland to drivers and motorcycle riders who commit more than 1 of the following speeding offences within a 12 month period: Penalty set (km/h over speed limit) First offence Second offence (within a year) Demerit point penalty Monetary penalty Demerit point penalty Monetary penalty 21-30km/h 4 points $406 8 points $406 31-40km/h 6 points $568 12 points $568 41km/h and above 8 points and 6 months suspension $1,137 16 points and 6 months suspension $1,137 For example, if you commit a speeding offence of 25km/h over the speed limit, you will be allocated 4 demerit points for that offence. If you commit a second speeding offence of 32km/h over the speed limit within 1 year, you will be allocated 6 demerit points for the second offence, plus an additional 6 demerit points for it being within 1 year of the first offence. You will have 16 demerit points allocated to your traffic history, which will result in a driver licence sanction. Double demerit points also apply if more than one seatbelt offence occurs within a 12-month period. The additional demerit point penalty applies to driver-related offences for seatbelts. For example, if you commit a driver seatbelt offence where you failed to wear a seatbelt, you will be allocated 3 demerit points for that offence. If you commit a second offence where you drive a vehicle while a passenger is not restrained, within 1 year, you will be allocated 3 demerit points for the second offence. You will also receive an additional 3 demerit points for it being within 1 year of the first offence. This means you will have 9 demerit points allocated to your traffic history, which may result in a driver licence sanction.

14.01.2022 Increased penalties for mobile phone offences The Queensland Government has announced tougher penalties for drivers who use their mobile phone illegally while driving. From 1 February 2020, the penalties for illegally using a mobile phone while driving are increasing from a $400 fine and 3 demerit points to a $1,000 fine and 4 demerit points. This is to help deter people from this dangerous behaviour. Research shows using a mobile phone while driving can be as risky as drink ...driving. A driver's response time while texting on a phone is comparable to that of a driver with a blood alcohol reading of between 0.07 and 0.10. The increased penalties mean that some licence holders, like learners and P-Platers, could lose their licence from just 1 offence. Double demerit points will still apply to all drivers for a second mobile phone offence within 12 months. This is another $1,000 fine and 8 points and could cost most people their licence. Bicycle riders will also be fined $1,000, but no demerit points will be issued. While the penalties are increasing, there are no changes to the current rules for mobile phone use while driving.

03.01.2022 Everything you need to know about double demerits this long weekend.

02.01.2022 The Vehicle Standards Unit of TMR has recently reviewed the Light Vehicle Modification Codes LS9 and LS10 part of Queensland Code of Practice (QCoP) for Light Vehicle Modifications. The proposed changes in the review is to align the codes more closely with the VSB 14 National Code of Practice LS7 and LS8. This means the maximum vehicle lift permitted will be increased from 125mm to 150mm. Queensland will still allow 75mm for non-Electronic Stability Control vehicles without c...ertification, and hence the need to retain LS9 & LS10. The attached LS9 and LS10 modification code allows: For vehicles not fitted with Electronic Stability Control: Vehicle lifts that do not exceed 75mm, and are achieved by modification of the suspension and fitting of alternate tyres and rims only (do not include a body lift) do not require certification. Any person performing this type of modification must ensure the modified vehicle meets all the technical requirements of the LS9 and LS10 sections of this code, however no formal certification or lane change test is required. For lifts outside of this, LS9 certification is required in addition to LS10 certification. Once certified the vehicle must not exceed 50mm in the overall tyre diameter, 75mm in the suspension and 50mm body lift. For vehicles fitted with Electronic Stability Control (ESC): Vehicle lifts that do not exceed 50mm, and are achieved by modification of the suspension do not require certification. Any person performing this type of modification must ensure the modified vehicle meets all the technical requirements of the LS9 and LS10 sections of this code, however no formal certification or lane change test is required. For lifts outside of this, LS9 certification is required in addition to LS10 certification. Once certified the vehicle must not exceed 50mm in the overall tyre diameter, 75mm in the suspension and 50mm body lift. You must carry out ESC and lane change testing. If you cannot conduct the required ESC and lane change testing, you must not certify the modification unless you have evidence from the vehicle manufacturer, which includes the VIN number, confirming they have approved this modification. Accepted ESC testing is Sine with Dwell test ECE R13H for example. Both the amended LS9 code and LS10 code are attached for your perusal and feedback.

01.01.2022 This is an Email I just received from The Department of Transport and Main Roads about faulty air bags..... Dear AIS Approval Holder, You may be aware that on the 28th February 2018, the Federal Government issued a compulsory recall notice in relation to defective Takata airbags. Two types of Takata airbags have been identified as defective. Vehicles containing ‘alpha’ and ‘beta’ airbags are subject to recall.... At the request of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) recently agreed to progress action against vehicles containing the higher risk ‘alpha’ airbags which may ultimately result in the cancellation of registration if the airbags are not replaced. Beta airbags, whilst still defective are not subject to the same risk rating and as a result the ACCC has allowed manufacturers to stagger their recall schedules to ensure all beta airbags are replaced by 31 December 2020. TMR is now also seeking your support to raise awareness of the recall process for both alpha and beta airbags when inspecting vehicles for the issue of inspection certificates. Whilst the request is not a mandatory requirement of any inspection service that you provide, your support would certainly assist improvement in the recall rate and be greatly appreciated by manufacturers, the ACCC and consumers looking to purchase vehicles.
