Apparently they do "advanced driver training" that means they can use a phone and drive. I asked if I can perhaps do the course too....

Dw mate i have asked and they said i couldn't.

I know of one copper that will try and race you when hes off duty in his vn berlina and pull you over when he is on duty if you win and see what you have..... I hate double standards!!

Are you sure towing over 80ks is illegal in vic?

[BigRAWesty]

Yea that's large trucks. All trucks are 100 limited, pretty sure road trains are now 80 limited. Which imo is BS aswell.

It's unreal they have rules/laws that say one thing but when it suits there are others that contradict them and say the complete opposite.

Thats what i was told, but i think it could be more on the lines of "not supposed to" apposed to illegal for safety reasons.

According to my information the following applies

NATIONAL STANDARDS NOW APPLY
Towing limits have been standardised across Australia, putting an end to the differences between regulations in various states.

The new towing regulations allow the owner of a 4WD, ute or car to tow a trailer weighing up to the vehicle maker's recommended maximum.
Unbraked trailers with an all-up weight under 750kg are approved under the new uniform law, but trailers weighing more then 750 kg must be fitted with brakes.

The changes are a result of uniform vehicle standards proposed by the National Road Transport Commission and approved by Federal Parliament.

Also standardised are speed limits for towing vehicles.

In all states except Tasmania and WA, vehicles pulling trailers are allowed to travel at the posted speed limit.

Tasmania is to change its speed restrictions shortly, but at the moment the law restricts vehicles towing a trailer to a posted speed of 90 km/h.
In WA the maximum speed limit is 100 km/h for vehicles towing trailers weighing less than 750 kg and 90 km/h for trailers over 750 kg.

yeah I got done last holidays travelling at 120.the copper(god bless her soul) was a bitch,totally,even the bloke reckons she was having a bad day and appolagised for her when he came back to the car with the fine.Flashed me coming towards her at 120 and wasn't till she realised that I had a trailer well that just made her day.20 km over = 2 points and 150 dollars

A bloke heading up to Leigh Creek last week got done doing 130kph in a 110 zone while overtaking in overtaking lane and got fined $700.
There are times when the only way to get passed a slow vehicle is to speed as the bastards speed up when they get to an overtaking lane.

That's when they wake up or when a mt stubbie hits their rear window.
