guys I have seen the after affects of rod holders on a person, his stomach was scooped out like it was a icecream scoop x 4, the guy walked infront of the vehicle, said vehicle was doing 20kph, the holder buried itself into his hip & gouged the bone badly, the guy nearly died on the pedestrian crossing, not from the broken leg, gouged pelvis or head bang but from his guts being ripped open & sliced to bits, a simple 20kph impact, it has nothing to do with over regulation & everything to do with commonsense, this is why it is a law, commonsense, just remember that, think of that person if it was a kid, you would be gouging 4 great big holes in his head at 20kph let alone 50kph, this is a serious issue, something as simple as turning it around or spending 2-3 minutes fitting it when you do use them is just to simple, to me its a no-brainer, this might be a bit heavy but a simple totally avoidable death is BIG, anyway its just my 2c worth
