What's the max speed for towing caravans in each state ?

Yeah, let's get rid of the states and cut out the massive replication of bureaucracy and cost.

Willem,
good work about the speed limmits, as for your comment about Uniform rules while we became a federation in over 100 years ago we havn't become one country yet! they are working on agreeing to the same road rules being phased in over the next few year, a bit like the National Heavy truck licence agreement. one day we may see ourselves rid of one level of goverment (the states)! Evertime you go to do something you get sent in a merry go round between state & federal rules Plus of Course local goverment!

NSW used to have lower speed limmit(80k/hr) & something like max tow weight 70% of GVM of tow vehical limmit until a few years ago you could tow a van or trailer into NSW from Vic & get booked even though it was ok in Vic.....
happy travelling

Just for interests sake.......There were some uniform rules applied in December 1998. These are that the maximum trailer/caravan(with brakes) weight must not exceed 1.5 times that of the tow vehicle's unladen weight. If the trailer/caravan does not have brakes then its maximum laden weight is not to exceed the unladen weight of the tow vehicle. Normally the GVM of an un-braked trailer is 750kg.Cheers, Willem
Never a dull moment

bugger getting rid of the states wa gets screwed over enough without giving any more power to the east coast based power hungry polies

Bruce.h (WA)
I welcome you expressing your opinion, it's unfortunate you possibly percieved WA's getting screwed each time the states treasure has to turn up & put his hand out he is only one of a number there. WA gets a very good deal for the size of it's population, Tasmainia wins big time!

The sad fact is that NSW gets clobberd every year by it's tax payers (income tax)having to subsidise tax payers in other states, Nsw goverment has the highest state taxes & the highest population of all the states followed shortly by Victoria. Others on this side of the federation can vouch for that.
If the states go when you want action in your local area you would only need to make one sitting member of parliment feel un easy about getting re-elected not the present joke where politicains get to blame someone else as a politician for the reason the local hospital is falling down & you cant get your roads fixed!

Hospital joke:- federal income tax is collected then payed to each state to fund hospitals, then each state goverment spends the allicated money on the hospital where it feels it needs to be spent(ie where it feels it will get the most votes) when the election comes & people complian that the local hospital is under staffed & the pensioners can't get surgery for 3-4 years they blame the federal goverment for not giving them the money for your local hospital! (pass the buck)
you then grump off and forget about until the next election & around you go again.

with no state:- you tell the local poli that if you don't get the funding for the local hospital you have no one else to blame when the locals vote in a new politician who can do the Job!

which would you prefere???

Happy Travelling

gday old jack
