Hi fellow Patrollers.
Just a quick note. The WA traffic police have been told to target 4WD's over the Christmas break.
That is to say any 4wd that is raised and has extra wide or knobbly tyres.
The list includes:
- Tyres
- Lift-kits
- Spot lights
- Bullbars
- Rear facing white lights
I have had 2 friends pinged already and there vehicles haven't changed in 5 years.
So if your vehicle is close to that line we call legal. Maybe parking it up for the break is a good idea.
Merry Christmas.
THE GODFATHER
So pretty much every 4wd on the road at the moment
Yep. One mate got yellowed for his 2" lift kit. Has been lifted for 7 years now. All of a sudden it is an issue.
I am safe though. Clutch has gone and I am not fixing until after the break.
Not that I'm in W.A. but its posts like this that make me feel good iv kept the new troll legal
Same thing as every Christmas and long weekend then.
Just as well you bought a shiny shopping trolley hey 93patrol?
That right clunk. You are just jealous. Haha
You just keep thinking that if it helps make you feel better ;):DQuote:

I never saw one police car from perth to denmark across to pemberton and back to perth but i did hear from reliable sources that they were trying to give as many time off at xmas so they can all be on deck for new year so watch out then.
Rear facing white lights is a good one just saw a guy with a single Lightforce XGT [240] mounted in the middle of his rear door,,,,,work light officer.
Looked stupid anyway, bet he doesnt get tail gated
2" is fine here. But unfortunately the police can yellow you if they think it isn't okay. You only need to pit the vehicle to get it off. More an inconvenience than anything else.Quote:
