Thread: LPG a word of warning

Saw an email today where a worker carting a small lpg bottle on the back of a truck/ute securely fastened to the headboard has been fined $10,000 yes thats right 10,000 dollars for the hazardous substance sticker not being clearly visible...............

Now I dont know the situation and if the driver was being a prick or something but police could pay to exercise some caution here...........

Work ute?

Yup

Even still its not enough to warrant that carry on. Must be a lot more to it

One would think so... maybe he is fuckin the cops wife or something but even so...?

They want to be careful handing out those tickets if that is the new way to get revenue now everyone is too shit scared to get within 10kph of a posted limit.

A cops life would be worth a lot less than 10k to a large percentage of tradeys....just sayin.

A cop can't issue a 10k ticket, someone is telling you porkies or omitting some very important parts of the story.

What is the limit a cop can issue?

I'm not sure but the amounts are set, we can't just make it up. I've never seen one over $600 that I can remember excluding some of the HGV fines, I'll have a look at work tomorrow if I remember, I'll ask the CVIU guy.

A quick google shows many many many tickets cops could issue over 10k, overweights on axels of trucks could well pass that.

20,000 for failing to give way to a rail vehicle on a level crossing...you cant ticket someone for that?

Just because you stick your head in the sand it doesn't make bad things go away.

Im not the one believing a secondhand email with more holes in it than a homeless mans sock, nor am I putting a price on a cops life (and yep Im a tradie too)

LPG has to be over certain volume before its DG. How else do you get your BBQ bottle from the servo and back legally? What size was the cylinder? Same with petrol. I'd guess he had no MSDS either? Im carrying a little library around because of this.

Nope its DG, need a licence to cart over a certain volume. So in a work truck I can cart a 9kg barby bottle but the dg sticker must be clearly visible and securarly retained.
Out of work I can stack my boot full of barby bottles good as gold.
