Fishing Rod Holders

Definitley the way the law now stands in QLD ,,policing varies on mood and quota /police is fisherman/woman or not.

I would agree 100% with the ratings on the bacon here.

NSW, I lived there 33yrs drove semis, down to 3tonners... Rode bikes before I got a car license.... and NSW filth are the dirtiest scum in the country.

Vic cops USED to be nice! One reason I moved down here - the Phillip Island GPs the first ones before it went to sydney, the cops were there for a good time, and didnt care what you did as long as it wasnt dangerous (well climbing the flag pole outside the Isle of Wight is!).. Now with the No tolerance thing, which is totally rediculous, name a car with a 100% accurate speedo...

That ray shuey looks like Mr Bubbles to me.... Totally self explanitory.

QLD, only been pulled up once, and the cop just wanted to see how i had mounted some accessory to my bike as he had one too!

NT.. Tough but Fair. I did the Wynns Safari back in the 80s and on a bike... I was out of the event and followed them to Darwin anyway, and the cops there as I say, tough but fair...

Gotta agree about the fog lights - very annoying and dangerous. It's illegal in Queensland too (unless there is actually rain or fog).

Factory fog lights on the front don't worry me .... but the d!cks that drive around with the rear ones on sure as hell do!

I also agree that the rear fog lights are extremely annoying, but the front ones, whether factory fitted or not, do not need to be on all the time. And as far as the size of the ones often factory fitted!! What do Subaru think their buyers are doing with their cars? The RAC Rally?Around Sydney, it's even getting to the point where people are driving at night with their fog lights and sidelights only on - they seem to think the fog lights provide enough light to see where they're going, when in actual fact they only light up a short distance but are high intensity when viewed from an approaching car! And the most commonly seen people doing this? Prado drivers!!

Couldn't agree more with the last bit. I've often wondered why the rest of the country has to follow a design rule driven by the whinging sydney north shore residents in their versions of the toorak tractors.

Making changes to my bar will defer the impact of a 2 tonne truck by about 30 ms - I suppose that's something. Next, someone will want pedestrian friendly tyres 'cos we leave marks on 'em

what are they doing on the road anyway! - fine the jaywalker instead.

It was an infringement notice payable withing 28 days just the same as a speeding ticket.
Can't understand the logic myself as I have a 4" lift kit with a 2" body lift and my bull bar is made from steel. No pedestrian would be effected by the rod holders.
My biggest whinge is not knowing else I would have removed them prior. I still believe a caution would have been adequate ( I removed them on the side of the road after Chips left).
I shall be in touch shortly re a letter

An excerpt from today's West Australian Newspaper.

THE State Government has lost millions of dollars in revenue because a legal loophole has severely curtailed the use of Multanova speed cameras.

The snag, which has cut the use of the Multanovas on freeways and major roads, is set to put pressure on police resources during pre-Christmas road blitzes.

Since July, when Victoria Park Town Council issued a parking infringement on a Multanova van parked on a reserve in Burswood Drive, civilian camera operators have not been able to operate on the city's freeways as well as many major roads.

Civilian operators are not exempt from regulations which prohibit walking and parking on freeways. There are 41 civilian operators working in shifts with 13 cameras on WA roads. Most are in Perth.

With freeways and major roads off limits, the traffic flowing past Multanovas has fallen by up to 54 per cent.

It is believed the restrictions may have cost the Government up to $5 million in lost revenue in six months. It receives an average of about $40 million a year from Multanova infringements.

Assistant Commissioner for Traffic and Operations Support, John Standing, conceded yesterday that the problem had had a considerable impact on road safety enforcement.

He believed that local government had a responsibility to support the State's road safety and traffic management programs. But legal advice had left police with little choice but to withdraw civilian camera operators from freeways and other major roads.


This proves to me that revenue is all that concerns them. Three cheers to the parking inspector too I say.
Cheers

Love it... not u truckster,,,the parking inspectors..
