maybe the license you propose BigRig, would reflect competency achieved on blacktop

Hahaha ... I'd let the Stig take mine around - that'd be a hoot!! And in all honesty, I reckon mine would handle better ... I'd just put the short sway bar pins on for "sports mode"!!! lmfao

I dont drive a Lifted Patrol and never have but I can see for certain types of 4 Wheel Driving a Lift would be quite beneficial if not necessary. The whole purpose of me raising this question was to bring to the attention of members the Law in respect of Lifted Vehicles and repercussions of that law on Insurance Claims and Road infringements. If you are driving a vehicle which is not covered by Insurance and cause an accident it could bankrupt you . I am having trouble finding out what the actual Law is in Victoria as Vic Roads have several Documents on their site with different versions. No body can tell me whether Victoria has adopted the ADR's
I support all uses of 4 Wheel Driving as long as it is legal but we need to know with certainity what those Laws are.

100% agree mate - QLD is still governed by the 'Modifications Guidelines' and under that ruling, my lift is fine and my tyres (33's which most of us have) are 10mm above the 15mm increase limit - a risk I'm willing to take. By the way, the missus crashed tank last year (minor) and I had no grief from the insurer.

g`day guys
i think all the time we have split state govts across the states you will never get it regulated
not vehicles, but..... if i want to bring any of my firearms over your way i have to get a ok from vic , and from nsw , and from qld
not bad for across the board...... UNIFORM FIREARM REGULATIONS across the country try wa what a bunch of tossers we have the strickest laws across the country
so i dont think we would have a snow balls chance in hell, of having the same regulations for our 4x4`s across Australia
maybe we get rid of the governments all together and NISSANPATROL.com.au runs this wonerful land of ours lol
