HP deal in volume. Pickings are far from slim. You are one in a big number of satisfied customers. I seriously doubt they would have you on their radar.

Well I thought they might have forgotten about it.
No such luck, as an Infringment Notice arrived registered mail yesterday.[bigsad]
They got it right this time.
Offence.

Better pay it I suppose.

Might be a good idea,, cause if you don't, you may get a warrant put out on you,,,
Got no idea how I know this [bigwhistle]
It is hydrostatic drive. It won't roll forward or back. The hydraulic transmission is effectively locked. The little jigger also has a handbrake. It weighs less than 2 tonnes. I would be more concerned about the load capacity of the trailer (and its tyres) that it is on.Quote:

From the amount of debris I see on the roads around Perth ranging from garden cuttings, ceiling board parts all well smashed to long streams of paint, and many other things used by builders oiks, it appears our finest are only concentrating on their usual favourite, minor speeding, none of the enormous number of other offences being committed every day by thousands of local "drivers".
I've pulled a trailer up and down the freeway many times with just a tarp mostly for weather protection in the unlikely event of rain, held down by nylon rope about 12mm thick and rarely see a copper at all but then that applies to most of the states roads except when they're having a short blitz on the Indian Ocean Drive.
Or around Joondalup police academy where they supposedly are training them how to drive and the performance from many is unbelievably sub standard.
So I don't think here in the west we need spend too much buying rated ropes, shackles or anything else to comply with any rules.

I have been using ratchet straps for quite a while now simply because they are more convenient and they don't have to be constantly tightened like ropes do.
The only rope I use now is for the anchor or as a temporary clothes line [thumbsupbig]
I think it is "over centre" type dogs that are frowned upon. Ratchet style dogs are still used around here..Quote:
