    defect notice

    i have had one since the early 90's when i was a hoon

    dept of transport had a blitz on in sandgate pulling up six cars at a time, i got done for fishing rod holder on the bullbar and a warning for no front number plate (the number plate has been off since march 2008, i told them it fell off on the weekend). i'm glad he stopped looking after the first fault, all six cars got booked for something. not sure what else they would have found but i'm guessing there would be a few things on my rig

    buggered if i can see how i can pay my fine electronically, will have another look at the ticket

    $60 and no points

    yep, heard about it from the lady that comes cleaning cars around here..

    she got done for a bucket load of things totaling over $500

    to say she was unhappy wouldn't do it justice

    Hi all,
    I got done 2 years back for having a HF antenna on the front bar of the Defender. Old mate pulled me up at 2.00am in Drouin. Got out his 'kit' that included a digital measurement device. The antenna was deemed a 'visual impedance' as well as being a 'danger to pedestrians' and too'large in diameter'. Hmmm.

    Defected on the spot. No points.
    Removed the offending 'dangerous antenna'.
    VicRoads removed the defect.
    All sweet.

    Turn out at school sports the following week and St John ambo has one mounted on their Vito van at kneee level far further forward than mine was....hmmm.

    Oh well.....

    That sounds a bit rough.....I can understand the "visual impedance" issue (don't necessarily agree with it though) but what were some of the other issues about it?

    I'd hazard a guess and say that a LOT of us have various ariels on bars etc.

    Cheers
    Mick

    Yeah I have heard of that one...our radio tech tells we are legal with a taped antenna on the bull bar....though we never drive around with the antenna attached at home

    Hi
    Well...l think he bored and saw me and pounced. Even the VicRoads officer said l was a bit un-lucky (but the hwy patrol were right by law).

    It was only on as l had just purchased a new bullbar and we had been making up a bracket for the HF antenna during the day; otherwise, yes - it is not on when driving around town.

    Moved on from HF radios - run with SatPhones now so it not an issue. Far more reliable, cheaper, most people can use them (great in an emergency) and now industry standard in my field of work.

    nahh, the 160l fuel tank and the compressor tend to get a few more questions.
