No. This was one of those urban myths going around about the police in various States pinging people for not having 'load rated' shackles, which are yellow. While they are recommended by several bodies (including the Caravan Industry Association) but as far as I am aware no State legislature requires their use and the NCOP certainly doesn't.

Sorry but I'm not letting that piece of stupidity go unchallenged. Impairment has been proven to start at
any level of alcohol absorption and the legally mandated level is only what is deemed 'acceptable risk' at the time. The fact that we were once 0.08 and are now 0.05 has no relevance and does
not imply that levels between 0.05 and 0.08 are 'fairly harmless'. If you'd like links to the research then I'm happy to provide them.
