do not over take turning vehicle Signage

[bluejay]

If the combined length of vehicle and trailer is over 7.5 metres  am i right in thinking we have to display this sign ? "DO NOT OVER TAKE TURNING VECHICLE" on our trailers if so im thinking the majority of boat trailers,camper trailers ,caravans are in need of this

it is not a "requirement" but you can "choose" to display them.
I've just added 2 smaller signs to the rear of the van.
I believe you have to be over 4.5T GVM (on vehicle) and over 12mt length or something similar to be mandatory.

There is no requirement for you to display rear marker plates if your vehicle is under 12 tonnes. (& I think trailer under 10 tonnes) If they exceed this, then yes, they must be displayed. If under, you may display them if your total length is 7.5M or longer. If you do display them, then the road rules allow you to make the wider turns, either left or right from the lane or part of the lane next to the one closest to the kerb, if that all makes sense.

In qld which endeavours to utilise standard rules, it is a May as per previous posts and only comes a must when you can not turn left or right without straddling lanes. It is an offence to display these and not be over the 7.5.  But once displayed any other driver is required to comply with the do not overtake

Something is wrong if you need to take two lanes to get around a corner with a camper on the back.

I've seen drivers that need two lanes to turn their small cars like a Ford Focus into their driveway...

They are out there

On the mark.

Primarily required for heavy vehicles, not light combinations.

I much prefer the new variation "Do not take overturning vehicle"

I thought that it was 5m in length (in Victoria)?

Try navigating a B double or semi with an extendable trailer around any city in Australia and you will soon discover that very few drivers see them.

They mean chit to most drivers! 

I had a bloke think he could zip past me on the LHS when I swung wide to turn into a driveway, only to find himself into the side of me and needing to get towed.  I asked him, didn't you see my indicator, oh yes but I thought I could get past before you turned in.  Forkhead!

Nup. 7.5M or longer.

True - with my camper on the back, no dramas, but swap that to the 20' caravan, it's a different story !!

I use two lanes when turning tight corners as it stops the fools trying to pass you whilst turning, Vehicle  Oka plus 26 foot boat, oversize boat  with turning vehicle signage, I use the law to my advantage

I love watching cars in my mirror get pushed onto a kerb coz they think it's ok to overtake my b-double while I'm in a roundabout.

Whilst getting my licence upgrade in vic a few months ago it was only stated any heavy vehicle 12t or over must display signs, doesn't mean people actually no what they mean.
