“Motorists in the electorate have been subject to a recent compliance campaign and I am proud the NSW Government is listening to the concerns of communities in the bush,” Ms Goward said.
“Some bullbars were caught up in Australian Standards, which were enacted in NSW on January 1 2003, by the then Labor Roads Minister Carl Scully.
A Ministerial Order was released today to provide tolerances for people who have inadvertently purchased a non-complying bullbar, and manufacturers, so they have adequate time to comply with the standards.
This Ministerial Order will be place for two years to give these people time to have their bullbar checked and, if necessary, modified or replaced.”
Ms Goward has urged motorists and manufacturers in the electorate to visit the Centre for Road Safety website to view the tolerances for bull bars.
“The guide includes diagrams and clearly explains the rules and the interim tolerances,” Ms Goward said.
“Motorists should ensure they know whether their bull bar fits within the interim tolerances.
This is about making sure dangerous bullbars are off the roads without punishing those with noncomplying variations that don’t pose an unacceptable road safety risk.”
More information about which bullbars are allowed on NSW roads is available at roadsafety. transport.nsw.gov.au/.
