You might hurt someone in the city when your driving down the footpath with a defective bullbar!!! ;-)

Would that be national?

And who says what a defective bullbar is? Our uncorrupt cops?

3 POINTS!! That means having a defective bullbar is as dangerous as running a red light and going more then 25km/h over the speed limit.

How can a bullbar be defective anyway?

I think you will find , they can already ping you for fines , just not points yet.

Defective as in , Fishing Rod Holders , external aerial mounts , things like that.

This type of revenue is easy to avoid. Don't drive defective vehicles, don't speed, don't park illegally etc etc etc.
If you do any of the above you have to cop it sweet. The fines and points might well be excessive but they are avoidable.

Yeah Bazza, you got love em. Did you see the new fig's on 4x4 25% of new cars

I hope these sorts of laws are to slow down the armour plated mums who drive the 4x4 to and from school and never leave the tar. They threaten other kids safety with double parking at schools speeding around schools and most of them have the spacial concepts of wombat, all while keeping thier kids safe inside.

I drive an 80 series so speed is not an issue for me but once again it is not the tool but the nut behind the wheel.

Perhaps people should have to actually get their truck dirty to justify a bull bar.

Now 4x4 are trendy and to feel ok some people must have one of everything we will see more and more people with more money than cents option up the family bus and drive it around the cities. option for performing where. Thats like wearing a snowsuit in the desert ????

The new law or change of the old could probably be a loop hole that they can outlaw bullbars in the future.

Well that feels better, sorry for the cranky mood, i have better read the fri funnies.

It sounds like another Keating,,, if he had his way he would tax the 4WD's of the road, so they start at the bull bar and work to the back of the car,

This sought of law is passed into legislation and then enforced by people who know they will never be affected by it (they manage to get off through their contacts). Sadly, if the law was administered by reasonable police it might be OK, but I've struck police in NSW who carry on like the Gestapo - swaggering around in those Nazi style leather caps etc and acting like they are juiced up on speed (and probably were). They have a long way to go before I'll trust them - which is sad because I know many of them are quite reasonable. Unfortunately, road laws are serious business because we rely on them to protect us from dangerous drivers - as it is they are used to hit certain groups and collect revenue.
