Caution, High Country roadworthies.

Just doing their job. Would be heaps of complaints if they sat on their bums watching TV all day and didn't even bother to go out onto the road. As for 'targeting one group', perhaps they had good reason to ? Perhaps their actions were based on past experience in the high country with some vehicles getting into strife or causing problems for others simply because the owners chose (CHOSE) to take them out onto the roads whilst unroadworthy, Did any one bother to ask them what/why they were doing so?

Craig,

Of two separate groups, 4wd and 2wd, who would you expect to be the most likely to attempt the more difficult tracks ?

Of the same two groups, who would you expect to be most likely to have extensively modded vehicles ?

You open with "Apparently last night". Were you there or not? If not, how can you state "let other cars with bald tyres & cracked windscreens through" ?

Sometimes we, as in 4wd community, get more than a wee bit paranoid.

Caution, High Country roadworthies

Hiya Craig

Sorry mate don't need to be Cautioned,My Vehicle is 100% Roadworthy and i don't drink/drug drive...I go through Mansfield to get to my block a few times a year...
I'm glad guys are being picked up for bad mods,99% know its wrong but try plead ignorance when they get caught,there not insured for starter's,although they may still pay it...
I find it really hard to believe coppers let through bald tyres and cracked windscreens..

You don't have to be Einstein to see all the illegal mod's going on in the 4x4 forums...Dont forget they (Police) have internet access too..
OH Great there picking up all the Pedophiles and there knocking themselves off,now that's real progress...



Cheers

Most seem intent on giving you a gob full, I for one craig would thank you for the warning. This time it would not effect me (I'm up the other end of the country) but if there is a next time where it might, I would like to know ahead of time. Easy for a taillight or indicator light to be blown and us not pick it up for a few days or even weeks.

Agree that things are getting tighter on what can be got away with. But I think that is going for all types of modded cars these days, plenty of flack being copped by the boy racers on the M1 between Gold Coast and Brissy at the moment too.

Cheers, Trevor.

Why worry, if your vehicle is legal

Probably chasing the "cowboys".

How many 4B's do you see, that have ridiculous modifications, ?

I see quiet a few !

I see heaps more perfectly roadworthy ones !
( hopefully I am the later),,,, and we can almost get into just as many places, as the cowboys.


Cheers
