Cars & Transportation Divy Vans

[Gasometer]

Are Divy Vans lowered?

Seem a few lately and noticed how they ride low? Perhaps because of the weight of the enclosure?

Anyway, got me thinking, lets start a thread on all things related to Divy Vans.

 

[MaddAdam]

You're going home in the back of one.

i'm sure GD brethren would be able to let us know which vans have the best ride and handling.

Are they difficult to climb out of at the station?

 

[JuddsABlue]

i always imagined people sliding around all over the place in them, those seats look so slippery

If they were lowered they would be un-roadworthy, conspiracy theory ?

I jay walked once recently (I was in a hurry) and then a recently decommissioned cop car drove past and started to pull over.

So recently decommissioned that it still had the visible but faded pattern of a cop car, though it was now a tradie of some sort behind the wheel.

Beats of the heart were missed- I thought I was about to get done!

Divvy this shit?

I think its the weight on the tray that pushes the van down giving the impression that its lowered.

They have seat belts.

Are there seats? Do passengers sit at 90 degree to the wall and floor?

It was fairly good in the back of one, nice and air conditioned and just talking a mate in comfort

They have little indents to groove your butt into, two of them for two people.

I knew I'd find you here!

They have seat belts.

Speaking from experience ?
When you see someone chucked in the back you don't see cops belt them in [belt them up yes ].They just shut the door behind them.

 

[Thistle]

Been in the divvy van a couple of times










Bay 13 mods don't know a quality thread when they see one

They're not comfy, that's for sure.

Didn't an Aboriginal guy die in the back of one when being transported from some remote community to Derby a few years ago? Air con can't have been working if that's the case.

 

[Kram]

Was given a quick lift in one years ago to get dropped of at a taxi line, I swear they drove around the corners real quick just for a laugh.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Paddy wagon?!

It was a prison van (if you're thinking of the one I think you're thinking of). And yes, the the air conditioning wasn't working.

Haven't been in the back of one for many a year now, but there sure as hell weren't seat belts!

 

[little graham]

We use to call them dog boxes. I never understood the connection between canines and pigs.

 

[BC9_]

Too many people wear Vans.

 

[YAZZ#13]

Certainly not comfortable, and I can't recall any seat belts. I recall acting like a smartarse to the cop who didn't take to kindly to it and decided to drive like Seb Vettel back to the station which resulted in me flying around on the smooth metal in the back like a pinball.

 

[Caesar]

We call them bull wagons. No idea why.

I have been in one of the old ones, which was basically a ute tray with aluminum benches and a canvas-covered cage. It wasn't comfortable, but the plastic boxes they have these days look worse.
