Maybe there's a rule buried somewhere else. But that regulation is pretty clear:

100—Operation and visibility of direction indicator lights
(1) A direction indicator light fitted to a motor vehicle must—
(a) when operating, display regular flashes of light at a rate of not over
120 flashes a minute and—
(i) for a motor vehicle with 4 or more wheels—at least 60 flashes a
minute; and
(ii) for another motor vehicle—at least 45 flashes a minute; and
(b) be able to be operated by a person in the normal driving position; and
(c) be wired to an audible or visible device in the vehicle that tells the driver that the direction indicator light is operating; and
(d) flash at the same time and rate as any other direction indicator lights fitted on the same side of the vehicle

Patrick, I had a read, then a re-read ..... and I can't yet see any holes in your argument. I'll check with the person who has to sign it off

Cheers,
Glen

Well, good. You're just as much a lawyer in Australia as I am.

You are most probably quite accurate there, councillor
