Not going to comment on the other BS, but the Pintle Hook is E11 Rated. that meets ADR .

Sorry to drag you all off topic here -
Something mentioned about 10 pages back - in regards to avoiding indigo lights on vehicles, reminded me of some research I did a litttlw while back.

Vicroads regulation specifically prohibits Indigo/purple/magenta lights on your vehicle.

A lesser known fact: - vicroads patrol vehicles use flashing indigo lights.

I have verified this in person on several occasions, as they tend to use them most commonly around weighbridges
Usually when forming highway checkpoints to perform spot check on trucks/trailers etc.
This was what caused me to follow up on the regulations.

It strangely was not something I could find written in my old L or P plate books, or on my driving test, but that was a few years ago.

It would also seem that the NSW RTA, and heavy vehicle escorts also use these colours too.

Here's a link for the curious:

got my 6x6 registered in QLD today....

Rang All Class (roadsafeqld) about 2pm in the afternoon and the bloke was at my house the next morning at 7am.

Did the mod plate to reduce gvm, and the roadworthy all in the same visit. too easy.

Went to Carseldine transport office and it all went straight through... small delay while they worked out what to register it as - I think they ended up calling it a Land Rover one ten (in words, not numbers for some reason). About 20 minutes and I walked out with the plates - they didn't even want to inspect the vehicle.

very happy.

Congrats Gooloo, did you need to put it over a weighbridge at all.
I thought that was a requirement in Qld also.
If you send me the details in a PM of who you used I'd be grateful.
Making me get fired up about getting my 6x6 Inf. Carrier on the road.

He wouldn't need a weigh bridge ticket because he had the GVM engineered down.
Now it's not classified as a light truck.

I do recall the weigh bridge cert was used for something.... I think it was required for the mod plate to reduce the gvm (I imagine they would want some proof that you're not reducing the gvm below the tare!). but it wasn't required for transport main roads. I was able to use the weigh bridge and brake test certs that came from grays (supplied with the blue slip).

interestingly enough my tare was only 3.19t... I was expecting heavier.

Mine is an "Air Defence" variant. The tare is just shy of 4t with full fuel tanks. It has a lot of racks and storage in the back. A GS would be considerably lighter. The ambulance is the heaviest I think.

Rego renewal time again....

This is 4x4 not 6x6, private with no concession.

ACT, 12 mths, $1255.10 up from $1229.60 last year.
The government charges portion of that is $570. The other $685 is the Green Slip charge.

Wow! That's expensive.

[Dervish]

My rego was about that in Sydney, now half that in QLD.

[Mick_Marsh]

Did they do any work for the green slip?
If yes, what did they do?

Green slip is compulsory third party insurance.

Being pedantic - we dont have Green Slips in the ACT - the $685 is the 3rd Party Personal Insurance component of the overall registration fee.
