Hypothetical WOF issue - headlight aim.

[westie]

Had a similar situation to the thread starter.
Wof guy aimed my headlight too low but passed th wof. I then went riding at night and almost crashed cos it aimed straight at the ground.
I now always adjust the head light to what I want after each wof

The VTNZ at Botany Hub has some good guys.

They make me sit on the bike while they check the light, ergo, we know its at the right level for me. However, what if you chuck piles of luggage on the bike etc, it will mess it up anyway...

They told me my light was too high (they tested it with no one on the bike and it on the side stand) they then tried to adjust it but couldn't work out how and still passed me

If it won't get a WOF, then put an incandescent bulb back in to get the WOF and then swap the HID back.

So your bike now has an illegal WoF - if there is an issue over this,then NZTA go back to the issuing authority and the AVI that issued the WoF (ME!!!),possibly they will have their authority revoked,and the inspector may lose his job.

Remember this is MY job we are talking about here - thank you very much for putting my,or any other AVI's job in jepody.

Who does your WoF's? Does he know you do this? Does he care about his job? Do you care about his job? What do you do for a living? Do you want to be responsible for someone elses tampering?

Go to a carefully selected VTNZ. Cavendish Drive in Wiri is good . Old guy, still rides seriously. VTNZ Papakura , ditto. The testing station in Henderson appears good (sensible, anyrate)

VTNZ Kingsland is good too. Both m/c testers are current riders.

What? FFS, the inspector merely denies everything, and ALWAYS remember the Golden Rule.....

The WoF is only as good as the day it was tested on.

Everyone knows people fuck round with their bikes AFTER the WoF is issued, so how can the inspector be held accountable???
Unless the rust in the steering head was never seen, and the rider was killed etc...you know, stuff that is obviously a fault at the time of testing.
And when was the last time you ever heard of a WoF guy losing his job?
I have heard of garages having their authority revoked ( in the days of the little Nazi called Carl Rabbidge) but never an inspector. I'm in the trade mate, I DO know how all this shit works
