    There is a VAST difference between "rated safety chains" and "rated shackles" .

    There is also quite a difference between the sentence "no rated shackles" and "no shackles". Which one is it?

    Cheers,

    Gordon

    This guy is actually a qualified rigger and pointed out to the cop that the colour coding means zilch anyway unless the shackle is regularly inspected for wear and tear. I wonder if the cops bother to do this?
    That is rubbish. I'll tell you why as soon as I find the Victorian law that applies.
    Tell him to take it to court.

    A little bit off topic but I saw GGHaggis in "rockcrawl " on the Kwinana FWY north bound towing a nice looking van yesterday. Hope his shackles were rated.

    Your Qld mate was scammed, off to the courthouse and he'll walk out without the fine.
