I just received this in my email. The new revision of VSI50 has been completed. Any thoughts can be directed to Andrew Stoner (andrew.stoner@nationals.org.au)

A copy of Labor's latest VSI-50 regulation can be found here.

I am in the process of going through the document and speaking with affected 4WDers and car enthusiasts.

Please email me and let me know what you think of Labor's latest vehicle height regulations.

Just read it, usual amount of nanny state waffling ******** from the RTA.

This self certification ******** reeks.

If the car is lowered or raised less than 50mm it should be fine, no certification should be needed. If it's raised more than 50mm then get an engineer involved, and if it's more than 150mm it's no way Jose.

The RTA just want a peice of paper with your signature saying you've modified your car. Then they'll use those figures to support a reduction in ride height modifications down the track. This is what it's all about. They want to get statistics so they can say in the future, "XY% of car with suspension modifications were involved in crashes, therefore we're banning these modifications."

Update:

I just received this in my email this morning.
Great news for us for a change.

Dear Paul

Thanks to your efforts, we have made the Keneally Labor Government scrap its plans to introduce harsh vehicle modification laws (VSI-50).

This is a win for all 4WDers and car enthusiasts.

I will keep you updated on any further ill-conceived Labor plans, but please contact me with any other NSW roads issues.

Thank you and please remember to drive safely as we approach the festive season.

Kind Regards
