Light Vehicle Modification Rules in Western Australia

2. Owning a car offers a sense of pride. Rarely for bragging, most people use it to represent themselves and their lifestyle. Cars are like an introduction to the kind of person its owner is. That is why most car owners want to modify their vehicles – make it more personal and better than other models.
As personal as it may be, there are regulations implemented on car modifications. Owners cannot just upgrade everything they want without getting a go-signal from the authorities. The government controls car modifications to ensure utmost safety of the vehicle, the driver, the passengers, and other people.
Statistics show that the number of car crash fatalities increased from 131 in 2013 to 152 as of October 2014, while the critical injuries went from 165 to 202 on the same time period. The police have recorded a total of 313 deaths, from January 2013 up to October 2014.
The Department of Transport is relatively strict in approvals, though not all modifications are subject to it. Basically, they would not approve modifications that may put the safety of at least one person or the car itself at risk, reduce control of the vehicle, and decrease the standard strength of the vehicle body.
Modifications Subject for Approval
The list of modifications that strictly need approval includes alternative power, body modifications, brakes, electric drive, engines, fuel systems, motorcycles, seating and occupant protection, suspension and steering, test procedures, transmissions, trike guidelines, bull bars, and window tints.

3. Minor vehicle modifications, meanwhile, does not need to go through the approval process of the authorities as long these comply with the applicable legislation. These include additional lighting, air conditioners, alarm systems, rear-view mirrors, roof racks, sun visors, and tyres among many others.
The website of the Department of Transport provides just a short list of modifications that need approval and not. Car owners who cannot find their proposed modification may contact the department directly, so long as their proposal has assurances on the safety of the vehicle, validity of car insurance, strict compliance to standard vehicle regulations, and legality of the overall modification.

4. Legal Car Modification Process
In getting a car modification approval, applicants just need to follow four simple steps:
First, they have to complete a modification application form for light vehicles. All details and specifics should be included for easier and faster assessing of the application.
Second, the authorities would process the modification application after it goes through assessment. This takes quite a time that is why car owners must allot certain days to avoid delays.
After the application is approved and the vehicle finished undergoing modification, it needs to pass the vehicle examination. The government may charge a significant amount for this process.
The Department of Transport would then issue all legal documents in regards to the modifications. These legal documents serve as proof that the vehicle is safe.
Following these guidelines not only assures the legality of the modification, but ensures the safety of people. It is better to drive cars with ease in mind, knowing there is minimal chance for accidents to occur. Safety should always be the priority of every driver out on the road.
