What's The Law Regarding Side Indicators?

[PM-R33]

Just wondering whether any one is familiar with the law in QLD regarding side indicators? Do they have to be visible from a certain angle? Placed in a certain location etc... I can't really find anything about it.

Just thinking of doing a bit of modifying with the side indicators and wondering where i stand regarding the law.

Cheers.

when i got new flares i wanted them tucked in a bit more (would look gay higher or lower) and the panel guy said yeah they gotta be visible.. that cops may give you shit..

but then my mates silvia.. he didnt even put them on when he got new panels.. he's been pulled over and they've never mentioned.. so i wouldnt worry too much

probably because they didn't notice it

that's what i mean.. he's been pulled over heaps of times and never mentioned it

To my understanding, as long as an idicator is visible when standing directly at 90 degrees from the vehicle (side on) it's fine. This sound right?

I have a r32 gtst and it never got fender indicators put in when it was complianced as apparently as long as you can see the front indicators from a certain angle you dont need them on you fenders.

Thats what i was told by the compliance shop.

They said its basically its up to the compliance worksop as to whether they get put on. I hav been pulled over heaps and cops have asked why i dont have any indicators and i basically just told them what i was told and didnt get any fines or anything.

I think you will find its governed by an ADR, rather than a specific state law.
