Yeah Coops, there isnt much in the East thats different in WA in that respect, most of the laws are the same, ie fog lights, bullbars, etc.
I have just found the difference is in the enforcement. Most times in WA you get away with the little things, but if someone wants to make a point then the will and it costs you $$$$$.
Its a shame that the police are so victimsed by all the do gooders etc they dont trust anyone and always think the worst of people now! If they let you off, people will winge that they are too soft and if they fine you then they are just bas----ds, they are damned if they do and damned if they dont!! Look at the craap that goes on at the underage parties in
Perth. If they go in tough and dont take $hit they are abused on the news for heavy handed tactics. Yet if they approach quietly and try to talk them down they are usually hurled with rocks and then abused on the news for being unprepared and inadequate.
Look what we have done!
As for the rod holders I believe if the dont protude and HAVE rods in them they are 'asseptable' otherwise its five mins to remove it!!
