No lower than 100mm or 335mm hub to guard, whichever occurs first. It will pay to check with the SA Transport department before you go too low.

Neither. measure something that's 110ml and run it under your car. A coke can stands taller than 110mm, and laying down it's about 70mm

Cops use to use the book that they wrote tickets in for checking heights on the roadside.

Thanks for the info Cheetr, will ask my RWC tester about it, never heard of the change of loading people in but it would not surprise me.

hasn't it always been 100mm with 4 adults?

where does 110mm come from, does that mean my car can be 105mm high if I have 2 people in it?
can i remove my 6 slabs from the boot before they measure the car because they are worth another person and i already have 4?

Yep!
Doesn't matter what the height is, as long as it's not under 100mm.
