I stepped on it and she looked over. Before I let go of the throttle I noticed she was a cop walking back to an unmarked grey VE. Too late though. STTUUTUTUTUTUTUTUTUWe ended just going our separate ways. Can't say I have ever had any issues with cops. Except for one telling me I can get a fine for fog lights being on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems contradictory to the rest of the EPA business but at the same time I can see merit in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny_C Donating Members 40 Member For: 12y 11m 16d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 06/06/12 01:00 PM Share Posted 06/06/12 01:00 PM a quick search on google gave me this answer:for commercial vehicles with a GVM of over 2.7T and pre-datingADR 37/01, which was progressively implemented in the late 1990s.In ADR 37, 37/00 and 37/01, there are 2 different sets of emission limits.One set is for cars and commercials with a GVM under 2.7T, the other is forcommercials over 2.7T GVM.In practice, the emission limits were such that the more lenient limits wereable to be achieved without needing cat convertors.The limits for >2.7T vehicles in ADR 37/01 are more strict than the limitsfor cars in ADR 37/00, so the later ones all run cats. The new euro emissionrules are even worse.so from what I can gather without going into the ADR docs is that having no cat was the case in pre late 90s commercial vehicles. Still might give the mods section of SA roads a call tomorrow and find out for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 5m 20d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 06/06/12 07:36 PM Share Posted 06/06/12 07:36 PM If you remove the Cat and operate only on private property who's gonna book you for it.. But it is a valid point. When I was in the government, 2 of the surveyors utes caught fire one day because they drove about 400km to a work site.. Pulled over in knee high dry grass and started work.. However typically the classification of a commercial utility (per ATO) is a utility which has a 1 tonne carrying capacity..
