    Probably not, as they do not conform to the original body outline which got ADR type approval. I am pretty sure that any after-market accessory would be picked on as being in the driver's vision. Depends on the inspector and their mood that day if you are pulled over.

    Yep, heaps.

    I have anger management issues apparently.
    HOWEVER, as a professional driver I regard the roads as my workplace and as such, road laws are MY OH&S Bible.
    I've driven over 1 000 000 Kilometers without a ticket.
    If I went to EnergyBrix and started wandering around like it was my God given right to do as I please I'd be out of there real quick, wouldn't I Matt?

    Yes, I hate the vehicles driving suburban well lit streets with their foglamps on, so much so that i have now taken to flashing them with 400Watts of lamps when I get blinded by THEM coming the other way

    doing time doesn't necessarily make you a bad person, as you have been judged by your peers and given the perceived remedy to learn by your mistakes.

    I have never done time but work with lots of people who have, doesn't make them bad people, just that their moral stance may not fit into societies view.

    my mate is a professional heavy (tractor unit/ trailer) driver in Victoria, from what he says he is like minded as you regards road laws, other road users become the issue through lack of knowledge and create issues that otherwise with proper training would not occur.

    My pet hate is people who buy European cars like the golf, and are not aware that they have rear fog lights, they must buy em, flick every switch not realising that they have turned on the rear fog, and forever more drive blinding the person behind ***** !

    Yes, you're right Justin, it's just that those pratts usually don't know that the lights are on and they also usually don't know how to turn them off (eg on Mazdas they come on with the headlights on low beam unless they are specificaly selected not to)

    ... and then they get mad at the driver who flashes them !!!

    I've even had a police car come up behind me with them ON in inappropriate conditions

    .... I give up....
