RULES & REGULATIONS * Australia: COR and tie-down rules looming for Western
* Western Australia - Trucking and rural industry to prepare for updated road regulations to come into force on April 27
-- WA is changing some of its road rules, in order to better complement the laws of other states... Chain of responsibility (COR) rules are set to come into effect from April 27, along with a new directive on the types of material used to tie down open loads on flatbed trailers... Only approved webbing and certified ropes will be permitted, preventing loose loads on all vehicles... WA Road Transport Association (WARTA) CEO Ian King says it is a sensible reform that is well past its due date... COR provisions are expected to cause the most concern among WA transport operators and their customers... But not everyone is happy about the updating of road regulations in the state... WA Pastoralists and Graziers Association president Tony Seabrook says the changes add new levels of bureaucracy and risk to farmers and their families...
