hey sui, i didn't realise he was from nsw. i thought he meant western highway (ballarat rd) in melbourne. my bad. i was told it's ok for pod filter in melb, as long as its secure and doesn't need to be enclosed. i didn't intentionally mean to spread incorrect information. it's funny how the road laws are different from state to state, causes confusion. should be uniformed throughout the country. i did get a major defect unfortunately - for lights and tyres, need to get it cleared by vic roads within a week. all the best clearing the defect mate.
