Thread: Bull bar blitz: rural drivers fined

Now where did you get hold of those pics Muppet.



I have already looked on the interweb to see if I could find something similar (just to wind a few people on here up).

If it wasn't for the Qld number plate on the front of it, I'd swear it is a "local" vehicle from Orange.

Found it.

The blokes on that forum have at least got a good sense of humour. Some great comments on that post.

Just as a wild guess, I would say it doesn't comply, let alone let the bloke get across a gutter without raising to emergency off road height.

It's interesting, because when I worked for the bull bar importer we were telling the yanks to not have the bar tops leaning forward at all, based on info from RTA / Vicroads certification engineers..

Well yes it is about the government trying to control everyone as most I highly disagree with a lot of decisions that the government make!
It is known that the Australian government don't stop at just 1 law they keep on nibbling away until nothing is left...gun laws was a prime example which even as a kid I stood up and made my vote count when it came to bringing in gun laws as I believed it was a load of crap and look what's happening now ya can't even pick up a bloody pocket knife without being classed as a criminal or fined yet the drugos seem to get away with driving cars and reproducing...it comes down to once again let them take an inch and they'll take a mile...

As for the bar well as I said I have it there for a purpose and without beating around the bush it's basically there to splat anything that gets in front of me (preferably not a cow though )


Jonesfam I agree out there near normanton Julia creek area the stretches in between civilisation are a fair distance and as you mentioned the roos and bush turkeys do frequent the roads of a night and a bar is crutial but travelling at a speed to avoid hitting 1 you will take days just to get the shopping

I agree on the gun laws you mentioned but can't agree on bull bars as an act of protest. Is that why you have it? And yes I have driven many roads full of wildlife but I drive to the conditions. Of that road where ever it is.Sometimes well over the speed limit other times well below it. But I have survived and have never hit an animal. I look for changes in colour, movements, and different side of the road anomaly. I have had passengers pass comment how did you see that. Experience and a willingness to learn.

Doesn't sound like you have driven to many Cape York roads just after the wet 2 wheel tracks and grass as high as the roof on either side .Sounds your abit like superman Xray vision or drive at 5KPH .I am one of those ****ty drivers who even managed to run over a 4 meter crocodile
