QLD illegal mods campaign

[MB]

Does ring a bell mate, real shame it is too for the local businesses. We’re reluctant to even pass through for a coffee or fuel up even in stock work utes!

........... a reason not to go to Qld ................ and avoid Mansfield!

[GQtdauto]

Actually got caught in a sting at Coopers creek about a month ago on our trip ,plain unmarked land cruiser with roof rack and camping gear on top and towing an old shitty soft top camper trailer .
It was a joint fishery and Cop thing I got cited for not having a name tag on a shrimp net but others got a $550 fine .

Not sure what the answer is but maybe our ADR’s are just a little too over the top?
I get that some Yanky States are ridiculous with monster trucks on civilian roads but we really do appear to be going beyond reasonably allowable modifications for off road performance needed in many areas across this great land!

I heard from a Mansfield local when I was at Hotham, the reason it is so bad there is the local sergeants kids were out riding motorbikes and some idiot came around the corner in a 4b, cleaned them both up. Killed one and the other is permanently disabled. Pretty Savage and if that is the case you can't really blame him for a 4wd witch hunt hey.

35’s would not only lessen potential damage for a safe highway drive home but let’s consider those poor rocks!

You are 100% right @MB, the compliance restricts the capability for sure. I had two spots on that weekend where the diff clearance physically stopped me in my tracks, one into high Cone and the second on @MudRunnerTD tunnel of paint death track. Being that little bit higher would have sorted it out and not forced me to slam thru an obstacle and rely on the diff protectors for support.

I’m just back from two weeks around Port Douglas and the number of cars still heading up to the cape was massive. Certainly no blitz up that way, if it was on they would have had a field day. Same if they targeted the backpacker vans.
Spoke with my mates son who’s a cop in Brisbane and he’s not aware of any of this, says it must have been a slow news day and just a local exercise as they have more important issues that 4wds.

I would like to know exactly how many accidents are caused by these vehicles as they are such a danger to the occupants and others around them as stated by the authorities. Can't think of any myself and probably safe bet there aren't any stats out there either to back up such claims.

The law is the law and they are right in enforcing it, however do believe there must be much higher priorities out there police could be spending there time in keeping us good public safe & sound. We're definitely are a nanny country and ideally having a balance, maybe not to the extreme the Yankees and Icelanders do, but a little more leanient in mods would be the go, but will never happen lol. For now i think I'll just avoid Mansfield, Gold Coast and long weekends in the high country . . .
