    Providing a roadworthy would be extra cost and hassle as far as he's concerned (especially if there are any items to be fixed) but most people get a roadworthy certificate once they know they got a buyer (as it expires after 2 months).

    May be worth getting onto it quick, may be fine or may need a few things which would drive up price vs just dumping it at the dealers.

    If he is driving it i'd assume he has the road worthy, but i will double check. Thanks for all the help guys.

    QLD is pretty stuffed, people can drive around in bombs that are non-roadworthy as long as the registration doesn't lapse.

    Unless the cops pull you up, yep. As always if an insurance assessor finds your car unroadworthy they won't pay out.
    We have bigger problems anyway, the worst "mergers" in the country as well as pretty bad lane hoggers.

    I have noticed a big difference lately, the number of people that don't indicate or give you a courtesy wave is pathetic. Don't want to generalise but a lot of Gen Y P-platers that think they are top ****.

    Also seen people running red lights of late, well after they are red like they don't give a ****. The Bi-xenons will be flashing soon!!

    I agree with the red light issue. Atleast 5 times a day i see someone run a red light. I lost a point while getting my licence because at an intersection with lights turning right the first car is meant to enter the intersection, that way when the lights turn yellow it allows you to move out of the intersection. I didn't enter the intersection, because with the amount of people who run red lights, you cant just go with the assumption they are going to stop.

    yeah.. i wasn't even talking about people running an arrow that's turning from amber to red, but pricks that just go through a big intersection who were going at less than full speed about 5 seconds after its gone red... can't believe it. Then catch up with the ****heads at the next intersection anyway.
