Default ADR Laws?

Might be a stupid question

But would having a different colour seat belts in a ute make it considered road worthy and not allow you to get a RWC??

This isn't a Ricer thing just a price difference of $100. Oh the Ute will get it's RWC in VIC.

Thanks

As far as I'm aware the colour has nothing to do with it. As long as the manufacturer states that they meet the ADR requirements. I've seen plenty of red harness type seat belts around.

ADR process = pre market
NVS process = post market

National Vehicle Standards. Per above posts, you should be fine.

sudden impact notification devices,
look at the end of your seatbelts near the anchor points..

it will say some thing along the lines of "if this is showing replace!!!"

just means they are beyond where they might save you.

i got bounced for rego because of this one year
