beleive me, some of these laws are absolute rediculous ****... i personally was fined, driving to a nightclub at 3am to fit a battery to a clients car for work (i was on call for breakdowns, i'm a mechanic) because i was driving a v8 turbo diesel landcruiser tray.... i was wearing a company shirt with my name on it, overalls, had 4 battery's on board, diagnostic computer and a job sheet and tools everywhere, multimeter etc etc to prove my story
even got down to the point i showed the officer my invoice book, business cards etc inside the work ute, but nah.... i'm driving a high powered performance vehicle for private use and not for work, because its not 9am-5pm i mean fu&king come on, even if it was my own vehicle, banning that is plain rediculous... of course this infringement never stuck, but by the time i was dragged back to the cop shop, had half an hour or more wasted i lost the client to racv (as they were sick of waiting, i understand) and then i had tripped into town, and back home for nothing, and had gotten out of bed for nothing....
so instead of driving a v8 these days i have a sv6 sidi sedan, and ride a superbike on the weekends and have a debadged ve ss workute lol.... vicroads/vicpol really won that war!
