i am looking into fitting some LED accent lighting to my ride, stuff like under tank lighting. does anyone know what the law is pertaining to lighting. seen it done in heaps of mags and reckon it could look awesome if not done to the extreme. would look pretty wild doing 200 plus at 3 in the morn.... what the fuk was that ...! 2wheeled L.F.O.
"if it has an engine, i want it in my shed"
They're pretty much entirely illegal. The law used to be that it was illegal to have them on when the vehicle was in motion, but I and people I know have been done while parked in car parks etc.
a few years ago i got done 4 havin washer lights on my car, i looked up all the rules etc on the rta website. there is no specific law against havin extra lights on your car/bike except for :RED lights must not be fitted visible from the front of the vehicle, and they cant flash. However, cops r cunts n they will fine/defect u 4 it anyway. They will prob just write it up as a 'distraction to other road users' like they did to me. If its written up as 'illegal lights' or something like that, u can fight it in court, but prob not worth the hassle......
There's nothing in the RTA guidelines on the website:

And nothing in the motorcycle modification guidelines either:

A cop on a bad day though, can get you for anything he wants..
These guys will book you for it every time:
The little known "anti-yanking" laws were introduced alongside the less than popular "anti-hooning" laws. The latter saw a lot more media coverage due to the threat to public safety as opposed to the formers ability to merely threaten public decency...
Not sure exactly where i found it on the site, but definately was there.....quote:Originally posted by sen

yeah mate lights and some shag pile seat covers, maybe some purple laughing stripes and you'll be sweet to go hahahhaha
for a good reason. . . . . .
Don't know what the law is but I know what it fucking well should be. I feel dirty just reading this thread.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
it may not be to everyones liking but anything that makes me more visible to the tin tops riding home after work in the dark cant be all bad.
what the ones with the fancy red and blue lights on the roof?
anyhow the trick with dodging turtles is to be past them before they can aim at ya

Surely they have a skit for fully sick neon / led light people too
Don't listen to 'em, Makka. Your bike. You do what you want with it.
course he can,... down the back with 2smokers
Well I'd just sit there and take whatever fine they'd give me, then take the fine straight to the Department of Transport. Hopefully you get a lady, then sweet talk the poops out of her and if there's black and white to back it up, she'll make the fine disappear.
My brother used my name to get himself out of a fine while I was overseas (the c*nt). I got screwed to a pole for it when I came back and chatted up DOP lady and in about 2seconds it was sorted. From my recollection, I don't even think I brought my passport to prove it. But I'm sure they're just glad to talk to someone who isn't an asshole, which I'm sure they get a hundred times a day...

At least if they hear you there's a fighting chance of survival.
