To compound that issue, the internet and cable TV mobs come along and string up their wires underneath. The driver is obligated to avoid the infrastructure and responsible for any damage in Queensland. Try seeing and avoiding a 12mm cable at night. I have taken cables out with a 4.3 trailer, needless to say, I don't know where they originated. [bigwhistle]

Where they originated? Damn. I didn't care if they fell from outer space. Obviously, I was legal, so therefore....

It makes me sick. The NSW RMS is by far the worst. VicRoads is following suit, and most of them wouldn't know a truck if it ran them down.

Well they have started. A few years ago all fines were standardised to the state with the highest fine for each breach. Due to non-standard methods of dealing with inflation and the likes of SA's, Victim of Crimes levy, they're no longer standard. :Rolling:

Except, as I found out, for Diary breaches. The HP guys at Narribri were spitting when all they could do was fine mw $158, when what they wanted to do was fine me $1580. One page in my diary, this was for. Astonishing how a clerical error is worth three times more than exceeding the speed limit in a car by more than 40km. I guess I should be grateful that Diary offences don't attract points. Now, why would that be???

We are.. I have a crane truck on site. The Rapid Plas tanks fit the bill, I just have to find a way of getting them here without breaking the bank more than it already is! [bigsad]
