Isn't it amazing that some shiny bum can come up with this tripe, but can't get the use of fog lights enforced. As mentioned, what's the big deal with lights that are only used when no other traffic is present, yet fog lights, some upgraded to HID, are blinding motorists every day and night. The cynic in me suggests that not many trucks are fitted with fog lights, light bars are a different story.
Wouldn't a truckie also be designated a shin bum? They sit down all day too...Quote:

Doesn't it say that to be considered a pair of lights they must be a minimum of 600mm apart! That would mean that MOST people with spot lights/driving lights would be illegal! :mad:
No it says that "Under the ADR 13/00 requirements, the minimum distance between two lights constituting a pair is 600mm, measured from the inner edges of the illuminating surfaces. While this specific requirement does not apply to driving lamps, it is strongly recommended that the LED light bars, when fitted as pairs, should be fitted in a way that complies with the distance requirement as closely as practicable."Quote:

So...instead of a large single bar across the front of my rack, I should get two smaller ones on either side with a gap in the middle?
I should have specified for "additional pairs of forward facing white lights"Quote:

I read that to say if LED lights are fitted in pairs there should be a gap as per the distance requirements for lights, but seeing as most LED light bars are fitted as a single unit it need not apply to this rule as it is in reference to pairs of lights not singular.
It is a bit ambiguous if you ask me.
