A handy book though.

    This one?

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    I think the holes in that net are too large - a copper could certainly put his fist though them.

    In fact, you could rope down the load with a roll of cat5 network cable and you could claim it was rated...

    No doubt optic fibre cable would be more suitable...national broadband netting...

    Optic cable is rated. As long as you use a properly attached snotter, I couldn't see the problem.

    Well on the weekend i broke what is acclaimed to be against the law
    Picked up 2 sheets of 3.6 lazer light and 4 lengths of 2.7 metre 40x90mm treated pine all tied on the roof rack with rope using the tried and tested Truckies knot.
    I feel so guilty . Not realy i could not give a toss and if i ever get pulled over and questioned i will argue the point.
    In 30 years of truck driving i have tied knots thousand,s of times i can honestly tie knots blind folded good enough to go anywhere in the country and not come loose.

    Interestingly, last week I saw a white van with some electrical conduit ratchet strapped to the roof bars. I didn't see if they were rated but I assume they were. He was traveling towards me. He slowed and turned left, however, the conduits continued at the same speed in the same direction.
    It was the laws fault, not his. He did as the law instructed him.

    Take away common sense and there is no sense at all.
