    The jacks only know what they hear when they got to vic rds trade nights but if you know your stuff you can easily get out of a defect if your car looks like it has been modified correctly.

    Can someone please explain to me why a pillar pod is illegal? Does it come under the 15 degree line of vision criteria? Just wondering because I would have thought that they are a drivers aid and therefore are legal. Maybe if you have them you should call your truck a taxi.

    Hope someone can explain it to me?

    Regards

    Your allowed 30mm above the dash or 150mm below the roof lining everywhere else is an obstruction of view like Winnie said..

    So if they are illegal why does just about every mag advertise them
    and what obstruction arent you looking forward as you drive and planning your next move
    before turning right might as well cut the pillar out all together clear vision no obstruction

    Mags advertise lots of things that aren't legal. I agree with you it's stupid but it's the law.

    We're just fussy who we let in lol


    IMO the "4x4 concept" pillar pod does not IMO obstruct my view at all.

    Isn't the pillar pod law more to do with Hoon Vls with guages outside.

    So I can put my boost and EGT gauges on my bonnet just outside my windscreen (VSI 8) but I can't have a pillar pod because that will restrict my view? I can find no reference to the 30mm or 150mm limits you have mentioned. Surely having something hanging down six inches in front of me would restrict my view of having to see 11 metres to the front of me? I am assuming that taxis have a waiver?

    May be more to do with taking your eyes off the road
    like now all GPS need to be on drivers side not in the middle.
