Do you know replacing your windscreen can clear your defect notice

[frost]

Reading the vicroads website, it appears getting the windscreen replaced can remove your defect and you dont have to visit vicroads. But you do have to present a RWC explain that? I thought it was against the law to remove them

How do I clear a Victorian defect notice?

The defect notice will specify what you need to do to clear the defect notice. One of three types of requirement will be stated on the notice:

1. Self Clearance - You are responsible for repairing defects mentioned in the defect notice and you must sign Section 8 of the Defect Notice once the defects have been repaired. You will also need to forward the "blue" copy of the Defect Notice to VicRoads.
2. Clearance by VicRoads - You do not need to obtain a Certificate of Roadworthiness. However, you must present the vehicle for inspection to a VicRoads Customer Service Centre to ensure that the defects are rectified and the Defect Notice is removed. No appointment is necessary.
3. Certificate of Roadworthiness must be obtained - You must present a Certificate of Roadworthiness obtained in respect of the vehicle, dated after the date of issue of the Defect Notice, at a VicRoads office. You must not remove the defect label. If the label is present, the vehicle must be presented at a VicRoads Customer Service Centre for removal. If the label is not present, ie where the windscreen was replaced or where a label was not attached, the vehicle does not have to be presented.
