are car ramps safe to work under?
473181
Providing that you take all of the recommended precautions when using them, car ramps should give you a very safe way of working underneath your vehicle. A key thing to ensure is that the ramp is wide enough to fully support the full width of the tyres so that there is no chance of it falling off the ramp.

So long as they're aluminium or metal and don't decrease the vehicles original ride height between the bump stop and corresponding metal stop by more than a third. To both posts in a word NO in any part of OZ.....they are not safe. To clarify if a rego inspector sees lowering blocks ....

Newer flip-front helmets are far safer than the old ones. Mine is rated at 90% for the latch safety. Petrol stations seem to accept these rather taking your lid off. You can see where you're putting your feet when walking down steps.

I hate it when some people act as you've committed some sin if you floor your car on a regular basis. It won't do any damage, in fact it has some benefits. The only thing to make sure is that oil & coolant are fresh and at good levels. And most importantly that your car has reached operating temp.

No. It is not recommended. A damaged or collapsed spring can cause sagging and noise and affect alignment angles. While you can still drive, the ride will be rough and the car will be difficult to control in an emergency.

You can fail on excessive noise if you remove the back box. But there doesn't seem to be any real rules. Just "tester discretion". Even though it is actually illegal to make a car louder than stock afaik.

Answer: There is no law that prohibits a passenger from placing their feet on the dashboard while the vehicle is in motion. However, passengers who put their feet up in a moving vehicle could be putting themselves at even greater risk of injury in the event of a crash.

For most sedans and small cars, a two-ton jack will be sufficient for raising a corner. A pickup truck or SUV could require twice that rating (four tons) to give you the margin of safety that you need.

Depends on the people but it is pretty safe in general as long as you are not in the middle of the pit.

From my personnal experience wooden ladders are used but the rungs are always protected underneath with a metal rod as back up should the wooden rungs snap or damage. Never heard of any legislation for this though. Posted By MT There's no law or regulation against it, that's true, however, it is advised against.

As long as you have your rebar on + turn signals etc, it is legal. Modern day bumper skins don't do jack in an accident. I don't think it is illegal to drive without a bumper skin. As long as you have your rebar on + turn signals etc, it is legal.

They are only relatively unsafe when compared to 4WD or AWD cars and that's because these two can distribute the power generated across all 4 wheels. ... RWD cars can oversteer: lose grip at the rear when the car crosses it's limit and an average road driver will find it difficult to control the resulting slide.

Its safe. Just try to keep it level and make sure all the stands are on solid ground. Make sure the jack can roll when you lift the second axle.
