There is specific guidelines in QLD mate, but it's like taping and playing a song off the radio - I've heard it's illegal, but never heard of anyone getting done! Just think this one was a case of 'Wong time, wrong place, wrong copper' ...Originally Posted by filodore
"be directed under the car not up the bonnet"!!!
That'll be a more comfortable impact!!! Having the bash plate, suspension arms, diffs, gearbox, transfer case, drive shaft (and possible the wheels), etc, etc have their way with you!!!! lol
I know what you're saying mate, but if going under the car is a safer bet than going up onto the bonnet then my physics teacher was full of sh1t!!!! lmao
I ment that without a bumper you get directed under the car and that is more dangerous that's why we have bumpers and it's illegal not to have one.....sorry I didn't make it real clear!
tappin it

It's like most rules. Silly. I got booked for having my gps in bottom right of windscreen because it was in the impact zone. Tried telling copper that if I'm in a accident that bad that my head will go through the air bag and through the steering wheel the gps is the least of my worries
When fanging around suburbia...
The ones that protrude over or in front of the Bullbar are illegal in WA (pretty sure that will be all states actually).
The versions that sit behind the B'bar or ones like the model from BCF where the mount sits behind and the holder tubes and plate are removeable are OK (with the holders removed obviously)
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
I have the bull bar holders when they are not in use u have to turn them around so the holders are facing the care
Just to add to the conversation - i have been pulled over for an 'emissions test' by dept of transport.... car passed no worries (very old 4wd...lol) but they did fine me $50 for the rod holders on the front of the bullbar.
The first question he asked was "where are you headed" - of course i answered 'on my way to work.' stupid me!! if i had said i was picking up some fishing rods - he couldnt prove that i didnt have them on for the specific transport of rods, and therefore couldnt fine me..... but i was too slow and didnt even realise what was going on and answered honestly.
So - YES - you can get fined in QLD for having a rod holder on the front of the car with no rods in it. If you have rods or are 'picking them up this arvo' then you wil be fine.....
i believe when pulled over its more to do with the attitude of the person that has been pulled over. a little bit of respect and politeness can go a long way. not saying anyone in here is disrespectful before you jump down my throat.
