That is bizarre ... I agree, it's not restrained at all. It needs to be tied front and back to stop it rolling forward or backward. It's tied to stop it lifting (which is ridiculous given the weight of one of those things).Quote:

In SA we can get done for unsecured load..
Fishing rods and Esky in the boat constitute unsecured - they had a field day around here...

Later that week my wife got a phone call from someone who said he was from the Police and wanted to talk to me. I was out but he would not tell my wife what it was about or give a return phone number. Caller ID was blocked. Not heard any more since. Very strange behaviour.
The 28 days will be up next week and I will know if I have to go to court or not I guess.

Not strange. Under privacy act they may only speak to you about the matter.
It will be interesting to see how this ends. As the cops stuffed it up you should win this one, too late for them to change the charge now.
Good luck

Give the Admin lady you spoke to a call for an update.
Finally. Letter in mail yesterday dated 20th April.

"I acknowledge receipt of your correspondence concerning the issue of the above Infringement Notice, and wish to advise that investigations will be conducted into this matter.
No action need be taken to pay the penalty associated with this Notice, until you receive further advice.
Yours faithfully
A/INSPECTOR"

Would be even better if it would say 'unless' instead of until. .W.
Keith you better watch out they don't start picking on you.[bighmmm]
Our local cop is not a problem.He understands the situation as I discussed it with him.
Its the Highway Patrol I have to watch out for, they might have their nose out of joint.
