See I'm not so sure about this or the post Full Noise mentioned where Vic Pol cars are on permits and do not need to be roadworthy or comply with ADR's.

This is nonsense. They must comply with the same rules and regulations as a private or other commercial vehicle. If they were unable to be roadworthied, no-one would buy them and the police workshops would not waste time putting special mods on each car; given they change them over at 40,000kms.

The system in Victoria is a lease system. The cars are registered and maintained to acceptable standards.
