so even though they say "because they dont ask it doesnt make it legal" there must be some merit in it yhea

cheers

Ah, don't worry, we're getting into semantics

Thanks mate, I was sure I wasnt 'P'ing off everyone, probably just the normal couple of people who seem to have an issue with everything I do.

As far as the legal question goes, it was just a passing comment and wasnt meant to take over the thread and as said before, who really cares if they dont book you.

I keep mine as Road worthy as I can as It makes my insurance cheaper and I have the ability and the time space and money to do so but thats just me.

Even in saying that, I would love to have some of Matts play things and I dont think I would be bothering with RWC or insurance if I did as they are there for fun and thats about it.

just because you can get away with out a traffic/machinery violation means diddley squat in a worst case senario....

the main problem arises when insurance companies or heaven forbid, coroners get involved after an incident.

how they behave has absolutely nothing to do with how law enforcement agencies behave.

if someone goes over your bar and you have welded or addon light mounts and fitted lights then YOU are outside the manufacturers compliances and YOU become liable to a very much greater degree. coroners are increasingly bringing down judgements based solely on manufacturers recommended specs and implied uses.. the more blame apportioned to you , the more it hurts, obviously.

insurance companies are increasingly justifying non payment on claims using the same principles..

some very interesting decisions being handed down of late and there will be some biggies in the near future that may well have some pretty big impacts on 4wds in general i am led to believe....

the cowboys arent going to like a lot of them...

something to add to the equation....

this is not a dig yhea!!

But what in your opinion makes a cowboy???, do u mean the rest of europe and he americas, where the practice of having the light's on the roof is such a common and more than excepted practice that their is a blackout designed to combat the glare??
or most of the country folk that live all over the country that have a bull light attached on top of the bull bar???

im just interested ??

cheers

oh and buy the way

"love ur work "

i take it to be a general term to cover those that dont give a toss what the rules are and or dont expend any energy thinking how their actions may affect others others.

As long as we all agree to dissagree

Mcrover, Rally cars have the same laws as Road cars.
I was just pointing out that the law has been for some time what i stated.
most bull bars are well below the lowest point of the screen, so you can get lights on top. But i guess its the police that are the ones at the end of the day that will sook, you know about that dont you.
