    • @worldwidehiphop.
      @worldwidehiphop. 2 роки тому

      Light vehicle modified 'M' series number plates
      When your Club Permit vehicle is modified, your club may also voluntarily choose to re-certify existing modified vehicles and for the vehicle be issued an 'M' series number plate.
      If this is the case, the following must be provided to a VicRoads Customer Service Centre:
      a new Vehicle Eligibility and Standards Declaration for Club Permit Vehicles form [PDF 182 Kb] signed by the club's safety officer/scrutineer.
      an original VASS approval certificate
      for vehicles manufactured after 1948 (excluding trailers and machinery), an original Victorian certificate of roadworthiness
      for vehicles manufactured prior to 1949, a certificate of roadworthiness is not mandatory but may be provided by the applicant
      Why? Serious question as a qlder..

    • @mick00023
      @mick00023 2 роки тому

      Not a qlder at all, if the car isn’t engineered it legally isn’t aloud on club plates. It actually would not pass a legitimate RWC with all photos attached and sent to vic roads.
      I have gone through all this myself, the information you have copied and pasted won’t stand in a legitimate car club.
      This is why the H plates are constantly under question.
