TMR interview on GCM, GVM upgrades and trailer law - hear it from the top!

Описание: #GVM #GCM #TMR

Interview with the Principal Engineer from Queensland's Department of Transport & Main Roads. We cover topics relating to the new GVM and GCM laws, as well as some classic towing questions including busting the myth about whether modifications made in a state outside Queensland are legal or vice-versa, whether you can tow a trailer using a car that has a tow capacity less than the ATM of the trailer, and towing shackles.
