Bullbars
Regulation 43 of the Land Transport (Vehicle Registration and Construction) Regulation 2000 states that no motor vehicle may be fitted with any object or fitting not technically essential to the vehicle, which protrudes from any part of the vehicle so that it is likely to increase the risk of bodily injury to any person, or damage which may occur to another vehicle or property in a collision.

Bullbars and nudge bars are classified as Dangerous Fittings[additional fitting other than manufacturer]  and fall into this category. The LTA will only allow and give exemptions to the following:

  • Comply with these bulbar types T1, T3, T5, T11, T15 and T100, the specification of which is available at all LTA offices
  • Fittings must not exceed 50kg
  • Securely mounted and supported
  • Not to obstruct vision of driver
  • Should not have sharp edges
  • Should not protrude more than 100mm from bumper
  • Must not affect visibility of head lamps and marker lamps
  • Must not obstruct front registration plate

The LTA's main concern is safety of other road users.

The question that is often asked is how a bulbar, which is termed illegal becomes legal on the payment of fee.

This is the same with an unregistered motor vehicle, which becomes registered on the payment of a fee.

It is not the payment of the fee rather than the fact that the bullbar, or motor vehicle is inspected to ensure it has complied with the appropriate legislation that makes it legal. The fee is an administrative issue.

SPEED AND ROAD SAFETY:
Speeding continues to be major factor in road crashes, so slow down and save lives!

BE AWARE OF THE FACTS ABOUT SPEEDING!

CHOOSE A SAFE SPEED FOR THE CONDITIONS:
Speed limits are the maximum travel speed for any road. In many conditions, you should travel at a lower speed-such as in bad weather, after dark, in heavy traffic, on unfamiliar, winding or narrow roads.

REMEMBER TO CHOOSE A SAFE SPEED FOR THE DRIVING CONDITIONS

SPEEDING INCREASE CRASHES:
You are more likely to crash if you exceed the speed limit or drive at a speed that is not appropriate for the conditions.

As your speed increases, you have a less time to react to emergencies and it takes a greater distance to stop. Other road users also find it more difficult to judge how fast you are traveling.
