Could you show where in the road traffic act of 1974 it says it is illegal to drive without a front bar?

20 bucks says you dont find the section.

my mate got a fine for driving his car to the panel beater without a front bumper, something about if you hit a pedestrian itll do more damage. it comes down to the cop thats writing the ticket, some look the other way others dont

the law says you can not drive a car that does not comply to that vehicles safety measures. ie. no bumper. but its so open ended that a cop could get you for a number of things if they wish to.

lol if i get pulled up and fined ill just send it to get thrown out court like fines for my lux
really rather not tho - whats a bit of plastic styling thats full of gapping big holes going to do to make it 'safer' for pedestrians? if you hit one, its going to pull that off/break it haha, and if you hit one doing the speed limit, no matter how many pool noodles and pillows are round youre cars they are still fucked.

As for driving naked part if your a smoking hot <30 ( preferably <20 ) chick your probably going to get away with it unless the copper is some femo nazi.

For the membership of P-Diddy your going to be screwed.
