Title: Gympie Muster 2014
Post by: wizardid on August 11, 2014, 08:53:03 AM

Hi Just a heads up on the "Police" I heard on the weekend that they are checking all trailers "D shackles" as per Qld  laws you must have the weight towing rate stamped on the Shackle otherwise it is a $250 fine on the spot. 1.5x the Max towing weight. They are targetting people going to the Muster as there is so many towing I suppose revenue could be topped up quickly. See you there and keep the $250 for drinking money....
