Offensive slogans on vehicles, including Wicked Campers, set to be banned in South Australia
Laws targeting “crude” and “offensive” slogans on vehicles like Wicked Campers look set to pass South Australia’s Parliament.
Key points:
- Registrations could be cancelled if offensive slogans are not removed
- An advertising standards body would decide what must not be on the road
- Some other states implemented similar bans in 2017
The law would give the Registrar of Motor Vehicles the power to cancel a vehicle’s registration if the owner refuses to remove offensive material following a request from the advertising industry self-regulation body Ad Standards.
The move follows ongoing complaints about “offensive” and “sexist” slogans on vehicles, especially on the sides of Wicked campervans.
