Totally agree with both the policy and the responses - however we just need to be careful that the thought police don't get hold of it and we go from one extreme to the other. Imagine if it became like 18C where anything that was thought to be insulting or offensive to a person or group would become illegal. I would hate to be pulled over because I had a souvenir sticker showing a girl in a bikini or if I was of a certain religion and happened to be driving around with one of those fish stickers on my car. Probably a little bit far fetched I know but nothing surprises me these days with all this political correctness that is going on.

I have to agree with the Bear, who determines the level of rudeness? Which scale do they use to make that determination? Way too many holes in that for my liking. Im not a lover of political correctness but does anyone else feel our ability to speak freely is being eroded? I have seen a number of these wicked campers and they are, in some cases offensive, especially when the grandkids are in the car.

I only have places I have been and funny stickers on my caravan back. Gives other road users something to read while they wait to overtake me..

Have a great day

They were told to ''tone it down a bit'' a few years ago. Some of them were a little too ''in your face''.

About a year or so ago, a Park Manager in Exmouth didn't like what was written on a Wicked hire car, so he took to it during the night with a can of spray paint, and it made the West Australian paper.

I think the slogans are meant to appeal to the younger generation - backpackers and Aussies alike - though there was a couple a few years back of "our age bracket" who hired one, because they couldn't get anything else at the last minute - they had a ball travelling in it - lots of people spoke to them about the van, and had a good laugh with them.

Yep!

Agreed rgren2. I suppose if is inciting or encouraging the acceptance of rape and assault or the like then a line is crossed. I still have long hair, albeit grey, and get the occasional snarky remark but as a dedicated articulate smartarse I enjoy those little moments.

I don't like the camper van writing:

"Nice legs, what time do they open"

is crass and should be kept in the gutter where it belongs.

The sign which *REALLY* got to me and I would have happily bought spray paint and defaced had I been able to reach it was the "FCUK" massive banner which hung on a building adjacent to a major Melbourne inner city freeway for some years. Is that how we wish to present out city and ourselves? As people whose intellect does not rise above trying to shock through a deliberately mangled swear word? Pathetic.

Utter rubbish!

It was a contrived abbreviation which did not represent the company name and done simply in order to produce a logo which was akin to the most significant swear word in the English language.

I remember seeing a sign on the back of a privately owned Toyota Coaster which read "If you think this is going slowly, just wait until we start going up a hill", I thought that was hilarious.

In relation to the Wicked campers, I couldn't care less. Most are pretty funny. I think you will find that your little darlings are listening to a higher level of crude and crass comments from their peers when they are attending school.
