Latest safety item I got today ....

[Ext User(the_dawggie)]

Safety vest.

Frontier AS/NZS 4602:1999

Class: D/N

Does Bernd or Mot Av approve?

I think it is a building site variety.

It's going in the truck alongside the triangle.

I'm really running out of room behind the seats
in my single cab pickup for all the shite I
have there.

The only thing I don't cart about, that I think I
need is a full tool kit. When I go to the country
I have that too. Might consider how to mount
a full socket set in there somehow.

I can run 240V stuff, inflate tyres, have two
work lamps (dunno why two - the first was crap)
solder stuff, measure stuff, fix myself if I cut myself,
navigate to places. I'm running out of ideas for more
stuff I should have.

Spare fuel, bottles of water meybe.

Does it have reflectors, if it does it should be ok.
I've got one left over from when I used to work afternoon shift.

Still haven't got one of those so don't tell Jeremy:-)

Plenty of room in the Xtra Cab, the rear seats lift up and there is
small storage area under each one.

I have a large toolbox in the back secured with a chain.
I usually carry lots of tools, the extra weight helps settle the rear
suspension:-)

Yup, I know the layout, it's good, however I need the
space(length) of the single cab bed.

Yep it would, I find that empty it can be a bit
all over the place.

Another similar Standard is AS1906.4 of 1999 the world equivalent to this is
EN471, these are the safety vests supplied in EU cars, vas, 4WD's.

Either way - you should be fine - better than not being seen at some crash
site:-0


> I think it is a building site variety.
Yup!

> It's going in the truck alongside the triangle.
Bargain, I have seen you know a UNECE version, like yours, but that now
bears LED's which are almost rear-fog intensity! So the regulation now also
allows for optional LWED type it seems. I'll check details later.

Cheek mode, sorta: - Play this MP3 file, the first half, its an AUDIO
version (2.5mb) from WA's "Drive Safe" manual - 'emergencies and breakdown'
scene which is downloadable in Pdf:-
http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/mediaFiles/lic_drivesafe_part9.mp3

(The EN471 safety vest btw, will make its first appearance in an AUS driver
hanbook, TAS, this year).

Daryl, you can afford $20, get that triangle.

Food in cans and a can opener.

Yeah, I loaned my 1/2" socket-set and ratchet drive to oe of daughter's
friends one day before leaving for Sydney (475k trip). I asked him to return
it *before * I left. He didnt show. But I didnt need it of course,..a
throw-back to the old days of shitboxes where a full kit was needed in case
of a break-down,..but there was the thing, I only really needed it once, and
that was a leaking fuel-line on the 1800 at the carby union. Its more
psychological than anything I guess :-). Still had the 12" drive handle and
wheel socket,..beats those bloody wheel-nut spanners they give you with the
pissy scizzor-jack.

If you want a good safety vest, try and get one of the orange vests that
railway people use. The have the stripes on the rear in a cross pattern,
instead of stripes that are either straight up and down and/or across, which
drastically increases your visibility from a distance which is rather
important when other vehicles are likely to be whizzing by without a care in
the world.

>Spare fuel, bottles of water meybe.

If the water is for drinking, then yes! When I'm driving trains I always
have a water bottle with me, and usually when I'm out in one of my Saab cars
I take drinking water too. You just never know when you might get stuck
somewhere and since water is the most important substance to sustaining
life, carrying it is a good idea.

Regards,

Craig.

Might have some spray in stuff (which has
never worked for me), however have spare tyre.

> Food in cans and a can opener.

Yeah, hadn't thought of that. Save space by
using tools to open the can :-)

I almost never use my tools to fix my car but they get used occasionally
to fix something on the 4 trucks at work.
I get extra brownie points from the boss for keeping all the trucks running.

Be careful your boss doesn't stop in a hurry, or your feet will be poking
out the back of his trousers :)

Certainly save being a starving dawg if you break down with distemper or
for that matter if your vehicle has a problem and fails to proceed. You'd
probably be able to get into a can of food with your canine teeth but a
can opener is far easier. Test the can opener first as some Chinese ones
are fuck*ng useless. If you have to spend the night on the side of the
road it's far better for your mental state if you're not starving and
thirsty.
Some plugs and a pump for tubeless tyres will get you to the next town
for a permanent repair. If you cut a sidewall the tyre is fuck*d anyway.
Last time I got a flat with the bike, I didn't have the plugs in the
gearsack so had to get home on a flat. I should listen to myself but 6 km
paddling the bike along with a tyre flopping about on the rim was a very
good reason to pack the plugs and 12v compressor. It cost me a rear tyre
that otherwise would have been safe to repair. Of course this only
happens to tyres that are in perfect condition near new :-)
I suspect the culprit was a nail when I went through some roadwork with
those loose nail down type temporary road dividers as I heard something
go flap flap flap with some vibration. I could not find any link to these
so dunno what they are called but it appears they are nailed not glued
and next time I see some of the fuck*rs I take a close look. Whatever it
was came out leaving a nice hole and the tubeless tyre went down some
time after.

Hey Craig. If you carry a spare fuel pump relay [in the Saab not the train
- that's a spare roof hatch :)] then you can save the water for when you
stop to enjoy the view where you were actually going. Well, it worked in
mine - most of the time anyway. Cheers
