The simple solution is to start requiring heavy vehicle licences for these tanks.

If they're over 4.5t, and a kitted out one can get that heavy, they do need to upgrade to light rigid.

The majority of them have a GVM of 3495kg, which is just below the threshold of requiring an upgraded licence.

I am pretty sure they do get kitted out above the GVM without a legal GVM upgrade.

I would love to see a VicRoads blitz on GVMs of large vehicles and Caravans.

HR is for big trucks. LR / MR would be appropriate for these jumbo cars. Bigger fines for fuck ups too. Should also be 0.00% on the breatho.
