• The lamps should, as far as is possible, be installed symmetrically in pairs to the front of the vehicle. should, as far as is possible... ambiguous or what?
i.e. I am going to mount 1 pair on my bullbar. This will make it impossible to mount the second pair there forcing them onto the roof.
• If lamps are not fitted as pairs (e.g. one, three etc), they must be fitted to the front of the vehicle,
symmetrically about the centre.
i.e. I think a single light bar should be mounted on the Bull Bar although I have no idea why it matters.
And if either of us cross the Border we run the risk of being booked, although it may be possible to drive around with a cover on it on the road and only use it offroad.
The laws are all over the place, I will carry around all the relevant codes with the relevant sections marked just in case.
Dont believe it! ive spoken to mods departments in brisbane about almost everything. (i have their direct number on speed dial)
They told me there are TWO rules that are most important. others not so important.
1. lights MUST NOT be mounted on top of bull bar. This will obstruct vision and also cause damage to person if hit. WTF im sure the lights are least of their worry if they get hit!
Clear as mud?
Well, it will allow you to start your car in the next couple of days, and maybe in a weeks time. But the battery will take 5 to 7 hours to reach 80% of full charge. Then probably another 4 or so to reach 100%.
but 42% of figures are made up on the spot.
So it depends on the alternator, the temperature, the type and condition of the battery, etc.
But 1 hour isn't enough time to even reach 70% of full charge.
should, as far as is possible... ambiguous or what?
