⚠️ CLUB PERMIT CRACK DOWN: Just a heads up to all members, other car clubs, friends and followers: We received an interesting phone call today from a senior constable of Victoria Police highway patrol unit about club permit scheme vehicles and that they are doing a crack down on illegal modifications. It makes no difference whether they are full registration or club permit scheme vehicles however they are targeting club permit scheme vehicle at the moment. One of our members was pulled over that had a modified car and was not engineered. He was lucky that he got a warning but was urged that if he did not get his vehicle engineered and on an M plate, he will be fined nearly $400, have 3 demerit points deducted and his car impounded the next time the car is seen on the road. Keep in mind after the third strike, your car is crushed under the hoons act. If your car has been modified it needs to be engineered and put on an M plate ASAP. The senior constable also advised they will be writing a letter to VicRoads complaining about the club not running to the VicRoads permit scheme standards. In other words, your car club could be shut down from VicRoads and delisted as an approved car club under the club permit scheme. Just remember guys, they are just doing their job!
