Its the EPA's job to test how much noise a car is making, not a mechanic doing a RWC.

If I had a mech telling me its too noisey i'd argue the point that he's not the EPA. Just having a noisey exhaust doesn't make a car unsafe. Thats the police and EPA's job to enforce.

Although maybe it does happen as some have said, but I disagree with it.
There are heaps of things that can stop you getting a RWC that I would not agree with. A dot on a windscreen is the first ...... have NEVER got a RWC without a new screen ....... and a slight tear on the front seat ..... and quite a few other things that would be considered not unsafe necessarily. AND its getting harder ........
