Thread: Land Cruiser vs Kangaroo...

Wiped out one just recently at 100 on the Melba Highway. Not a scratch on the ARB bar, poor skippy didn't fair as well though.

Re: Average Speed Cameras, I thought the NSW ones were only for 4.5t and over?

Yeah my ARB is fine.
And they don't but I didn't trust them with my DIY number plate

Nope, most of them are all vehicles these days.

Can attest to ARB bars and skippy strikes, far too many to recall and the bar is fine, including one impact front and centre at least a 90km/h impact speed.
I really thought I'd broken something with that one, the hit was hard, but only the number plate and Billie steering damper came off worse for wear.

You sure about that Rick? I've put most of them to the test and come away unscathed, they're not officially listed for light vehicles yet anyway.
And yes, my ARB bar has a very slight ripple along the lower edge of the blade, but it took me 3 years to spot it so it can't be that bad. That was a mid sized roo at 90kmh on the left wing.
I stopped at a mates place in narromine, he's a heavy vehicle mech who's worked for Hartwigs and is now fleet manager for Narromine shire council, and he says the factory Toyota bars are pretty weak.

In the Hunter and New England there are quite a few that aren't just heavy vehicle ones.
Pretty sure I've been through one or two down this way too.
Had to do a job in Tumut a few weeks back and I can't remember, it feels like several life times ago already.

I know the feeling.
I've done nyngan/cobar and back that many times lately its all blurring together

So who has actually been done for speeding through an average speed camera in a light vehicle in NSW? If so, what did the fine state?
No stories of a mate of a mate who knows a cop etc...

Anyone?
Bueller?
Bueller?
Bueller?

I've never heard of it. Maybe I only associate with safe drivers?

Just googled the RMS and yep, they are only for heavy vehicles still.

Funny, everyone slows to 100km/h between Aberdeen and Muswellbrook, and the same south of Muswellbrook as it only says Average Speed camera unlike the one at Bendemeer which says it's for monitoring Heavy Vehicles.

I've been keeping my speed down through them for nought !
