Road spikes are a device used by law enforcement in an attempt to stop vehicles involved in a car chase. Homemade road spikes, cheaply constructed using a steel pipe and common household nails, were banned in Australia in 2003 after being used against a police vehicle. Member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly (presently holding the seat of Ryde) John Watkins, stated they would be added to the New South Wales prohibited weapons list [1].
