Typical Yota drivers. They need 8 max trax. Lol.

They are elastic so do not hold the load firmly - think 100+kph wind. And these days if it does not carry a load rating it is not supposed to be used to restrain a load - even that good old Telstra rope is a no-no. This is primarily aimed at heavy vehicles but the same applies to all vehicles.
And yet those elastic netting ute tray load covers are considered OK - go figure.
And it also depends on the intercepting officer and what sort of day he/she is having. If they want to get you, they will find a way.
It's probably very different in Qld mate. When I moved from NSW to VIC, I was extremely surprised at how lax load covering, and load restraints are policed down here, not complaining because it's much easier but I've grown up driving round Sydney expecting to fined if you have a secured load and uncovered. Sounds like Qld is more like NSW

Personally haven’t since and will never use them old school type occy straps ever again.
Younger try hard surfing days down Torquay way a good mate spearheaded the poor ladies windscreen behind us @100kmph.
The front occy’s knot simply let go and flipped backwards leaving a say 300mmX50mm letterbox opening in her passenger side windscreen.
Fair to say we were all left shitscared after that incident and thankfully she didn’t have a front seat passenger at the time!
