recently in vic (within the last 12 months) they introduced a new rule which doesnt
allow any rollover protection bars forward of the driver seat.

i know this becuase a mate of mine was able to get an exemption to this rule because
it was introduced while his car was still in the build, ie after his cage was built but before his car was registered.

its a shame, apparently all of a sudden roll cages block your driving vision.
