Just when are all states going to bring in compulsory 6 or at the most 12 monthly vehicle inspections.
The large number of rust buckets and cars in poor condition in South Australia alone indicates to me one reason why there are so many crashes,injuries and fatalities on the roads !

I agree with the 5 year rule in NSW, it's enough of a hassle as it is getting annual checks after the cars are 5 years old. There should be an exception for high mileage cars though, and I believe LPG cars still require an annual check (not that many people have gas fitted to a new car, in case it voids the warranty). Having said that, I think all Australian cars should have an annual inspection once they're 5 years and older.
