In NSW there was talk of this a few years back. I don't know what happened
but there are problems. Maybe there was successful lobbying by the
mechanics over the tooling required. I know they *****ed about tooling when
they brought in that braking analyser. This is not really an excuse because
RTA checking stations could do it and maybe limit it to once each 5 years.
You have to remember that it would render a lot of older cars non-compliant.
This would create an unfair burden on people that could not afford modern
cars. You could suggest a national old car buy-back? Don't know if that
one would win votes.
