Come on fellas do the right thing and fit flares and rear flaps. Helps us all in the long run.

both times i have been done for tyres outside and no mudflaps I did have them but they had been torn off. I try and ensure they are always covered properly but have just found out that flares must be of a structural nature able to deflect a pedestrian so the lightweight material I was using was inadequate
I've always wondered what is going to happen if the cops ever pull me up in QLD. 2" Body lift that yes, I admit, is not engineered (it is safely done tho with no issues in 2 years), and tires just sticking out of the guards...
It passed a RWC with no questions asked here in QLD when changing from NSW rego.
Passed plenty of cops around, even had a few at work have a look at it...nothing bad to say so dunno if it will ever get pulled up?

i was driving to the shed to install mud flaps and finsh her off and i got stung.
i got a safety cert and fixed it up and all was sweet. no fine no points. gotta be nice i recon.
they were thick as, knew nothing. they had to look up everything in the wait for it - little red brochure that you can get from the dot. they started reading the car things like tyres not more than 1.3 times wider. i had to show them the 1.5 wider 4x4 section. then i had to explain that 12.5" was less than 1.5 times 10" and they were converting to mm and dicking around. dickheads.

[quote="roc70y"]in my experience it all comes down to your attitude and if the cop in question is having a bad day or not.
most cops are pretty cool when it comes to 4wd's but if it's too ridiculous you know your just going to get pinged.
i douubt that they would impound your car for tyres out of the body line but don't forget, you CAN be defected for not having water in you windscreen washer bottle...

I wouldnt stress mate i dont know about inner city cops but the country cops in victoria couldnt give a rats really about 4wd's, there to busy pulling over all the B&S utes.
