    All this highlights inadequacies of the vicroads low turbo/supercharged vehicle exemption process.
    A car such as the 2011 Polo GTI can fall within their (Vicroads) acceptable power-to-weight ratio range (100-125kw/tonne) and have all the imaginable characteristics of a family type car (5 doors, hatchback, child achorages, 5 star ancap) and yet because it is the 'sports variant' of the Polo range which has nothing to do with the performance or safety features of the car, by Vicroad's definition it somehow does affect the performance and safety features of the car is not considered a 'low turbo/supercharged vehicle'.
