Rules for Driving in Perth 1. Indicators will give away your next move. A real Perth driver never uses them. 2. Under no circumstances should you leave a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, or somebody else will fill in that space, putting you in an even more dangerous situation. 3. Crossing two or more lanes in a single lane change is considered "going with the flow." 4. The faster you drive through a red light, the less chance you have of getting hit. 5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive repairs. The other guy doesn't have anything to lose. 6. Braking is to be done as hard and as late as possible to ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to stretch your legs. 7. Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as suggestions and apparently not enforceable in the metro area during rush hour. 8. Please remember that there is no such thing as a shortcut during rush-hour traffic in Perth. 9. Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident or even someone changing a tyre. 10. Everybody thinks their vehicle is better than yours, especially 4WD drivers. 11. Learn to swerve abruptly. Perth is the home of High-Speed Slalom Driving thanks to Main Roads, which puts potholes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them on their toes, not forgetting the 'Test your skill' chicanes in suburbs. 12. It is traditional in Perth to honk your horn at cars that don't move the instant the light changes. 13. Seeking eye contact with another driver revokes your right of way. 14. Never take a green light at face value. Always look right and left before proceeding. 15. Remember that the goal of every Perth driver is to get there first, by whatever means necessary. 16. Real Perth women drivers can put on pantyhose and apply eye makeup at 75 kph in bumper-to-bumper traffic. 17. Real Perth men drivers can remove pantyhose and a bra at 95 kph in bumper-to-bumper traffic. 18. Heavy fog and rain are no reasons to change any of the previously listed rules. These weather conditions are God's way ensuring a natural selection process and creating a need for panel beaters, junkyards, and new vehicle sales. It is an acceptable practice to increase your speed in comparison to the rate of rain fall, i.e.: the harder it rains, the faster you go. 19. There is a commonly held belief in Perth that high-speed tailgating in heavy traffic reduces petrol consumption as you get sucked along in the slipstream of the car in front. 20. It's OK to cut off fully loaded semi-trailers, road trains and buses because, hell - they have brakes. 21. It is an essential duty of the driver to preserve the life of his passengers. Hence no matter how much of an inconvenience it may be, always find a detour around The Causeway, The Narrows, and Guildford. 22. Always anticipate oncoming traffic while driving down a one-way street. 23. Its O.K when driving in Northbridge to air your grievances at bad drivers by giving the "one finger salute" while screaming out "c(u)nt". However, it is imperative you are driving at least a 5-litre V8 with a crow bar in your lap. 24. Perth drivers are experts at merging, when in two or more lanes travelling in the same direction, ensure that if you see someone politely indicating, waiting slowly trying to merge into your lane, show them that they must 'Wait their turn' to use your lane. Speed up, try to cut them off, should they succeed and get into your lane never mind that it was actually legal for them to do that, ensure that your flash your lights, honk your horn, use extreme hand gestures, even tailgate them, just to let them know, IT WAS YOUR LANE. 25. Ensure that when merging into traffic travelling at any more than 40kph that you stop in the merging lane, backing up traffic for miles behind you, ensuring that you have given yourself or no-one else that opportunity to merge. Again, forget that the traffic handbook states that you should speed up to meet traffic speed then merge. If you are travelling in a lane near a merge lane, don't change lanes to make it easy for them, instead see rule 24, after all they deserve it. 26. While using Perth roundabouts, particularly two lane roundabouts, ENSURE that you are in the left lane to turn right, or the right to turn left, hell lets keep those people in those other lanes on their toes. 27. If you are a TransPerth bus driver, you must win at all costs, getting to your destination prior to any other driver is life and death. Never worry about your passengers bouncing round in the back like tennis balls, hell it's a cheap form of theme park, in fact Perth's very own. 28. Perth taxis see rule 27, except you are now qualifying for the GMC 400. 29. Pedestrian crossings - What are they? 30. If you are a cyclist remember YOU ARE INVINCIBLE, you are stronger than ANY vehicle travelling at speed, MAKE SURE you take the whole lane for yourself, and at night NEVER use lights, remember They Will See You! 31. Remember, the wider, smoother, and safer the road... the lower the speed limit. 32. When driving on the freeway, find somebody who is going slow, drive next to them, so that nobody can pass you. It's called, speed prevention. It's your duty!

don't take this the wrong way, u sound like someone that works at the pits and fails old cars coz they don't look "nice" i have a drip of oil not a gush, my cvs went hence "powerstereing fliud" and a had a crack on a lower radiator hose that was like 1 cm long and had to ordered in, the hose was about 10cms long and hard to get to. i wouldn't call that "bleeding fluids everywhere".

well i got a sticker 2 weeks ago from the cops for bald tyres and a blown headlight that went out that day!! well got it fixed didn't do anything else as the car was over the pits for rego 10 months ago! and i haven't changed anything! (except tyres,cvs, selector, clutch and headlight globe) so the list goes: too low bonett scoops illegal (the wholes need to be covered) powersteering leak (this guy needs glassses- it was fluid from my cv's when they went) oil leak (seal...thought it was sump) clutch not operating correctly (coz he has to push it to the floor, the clutch is 2 months old) seat belt clip not having casing (the dam thing works!) windscreen washers and blades (on passenger side and back) exhaust leak...didn't kow about that one. so now i'm spending a fortune to get it to pass. i reckon my car is above the min in height, so i called the guy and he gave me a different "rule" everytime i called and never gave me an actual measurement so i've booked into a suspension mob to measure it. as for the clutch BAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!! the guy is doing the holes in my bonnet while he's there. any suggestions on my suspension?? i got NO idea, i bought the car all mod off my bro who he bought it off his mate who bought it off the guy that did all the mods! didn't realise i would be getting this much shit for it or i would have kept my commodor!

wow this guy must weight a ton i didn't take it my mum did and they drove it. no one saw the "measuring" and he's not giving it away..

there's a WA section?? well there u go, i looked "extensively" on here ok, well anyways, garry from the welshpool tech centre is helping me out nice guy! he said to get a piece of wood 100mm thick and get sweep it under th car and if it hits anything then it's too low, if not call him back and he's "have a chat" with the guy that won't pass it )

bahahahaha!! sounds like me when i run outta asthma meds

the clearance is from my lowest point god dammit!!!!!! now there's yet ANOTHER rule that my car "conveniently" doesn't pass for....total height of vehicle! but still no one will tell me what it is!! i'm soooo f**ken sick of this! i actually got told by the douches offsider that they (main roads) doesn't like ANY modified suspension......well if they need a minimum from the road ow the hell are these tiny imported sports cars pasing?? well i got this re-regoed on the road 10 months ago and he NEVER picked on my suspension and this guy is a natorius wanker! maybe i should have taken it back to him! at least he'd leave my suspension alone :)

yeah don't have the money to be buying new suspension and i can't put it in myself so would need to pay someone everytime. he's basiclly saying that my car is less then 1/3 lower then the original specs....there are no specs available to say that it is or isn't....he can't prove that it is lower coz the info doesn't exist! would taking it to a suspension mob to "officially" measure my carand put it in writing help?? am i allowed to take it to someone else other then this douche??

pretty much what i'm gonna do, i was wondering it u CAN make it legal, but it sounds like alot of hoop jumping, i'll cover the holes for the pits and then open them straight back up i dono what to do about my height, he's dead set against what it stands at now but it legal...if i don't change it then he won't pass me in fears a pot hole will kill me!! hahaha

ok, i hd to share this and get ppls opinions, i called the guy to get him to explain to me a few thing s he wrote down: 1) my car being too low - i asked what he measured my car at and he didn't tell me but rather said the car has to comply in 3 different ways - a) not less the 100mm from lowest point of car (mine is 150mm) b) no less the 500mm from bottom of head light (mines spot on) c) no less the 1/3 of the height of the original susoension - i called nissan and got them to look, the only info on my suspensio and height spec is that it should have an minimum of 142mm ground clearance....so considering it took someone from nissan to go hunting through old workshop manuals to get me that and my car is legal, where did this guy get his info from?? 2) my clutch not operating correctly - he said that my clutch should not have to be pushed to the floor to change gears, that when he doesn't push it to the floor there is still movement in my gear box....i told the guy that put the clutch in and he's gonna contact this guy to get it in writing so he can show all his friends for a good laugh. 3) bonnet scoop to be sealed to engine bay - basically he wants me to cover the holes, he said he was being nice by not making me get a new bonnet as it's been "structurely compromised" - here's a question - can u get an engineering certificate to pass the holes in the bonnet for the scoop and vents to stay open??? it may have been modified when the engine was by bob campbell racing engines......

i just got off the phone to the douche...asked him what my height was...he said that it was lower then 1/3 of the manufactorers height, less then 500mm from bottom of light and lower then 100mm. gonna get some reserch on that one i think! my bonnet holes needs to be closed off and he was being "nice" coz he could have told me to replace the bonnet. the wiper blades needs to be replaced and my washers unblocked, and an plastic casing for my belt buckle, and my clutch needs to not have to be pushed to the floor to change gears.... the sticker was placed half way down the window towards the bottom and off the edge....i was wondering about the code... all the stuff was minor things. the suspension has been on that car for a long time and has never been picked on and the bonnet scoop even longer. ANYONE GOT A SARE BONNET??

do they mean to seal up the holes??

ok...car didn't pass!! i don't think this guy knows how to drive a manual coz he said my clutch isn't operating correctly, ummm it is! taking it back to the clutch place and getting them to test it then write up a letter explaining that this guy is a douch! the clutch is 2 months old! my bonnet scoop needs to be sealed to my engine bay!! HOW THE f*k DO I OPEN MY BONNET????!!! my car is too low....the lowest point on my car is 150mm! car too low or numbers on measuring tape too small?? my seal belt clip doesn't work...it's missing the black plastic shell and it does work...maybe this guy doesn't know how to use a seat belt aswell! oil leaks, power steering leaks, now there's something viable! and exhaust leak...oh well shit happens! windscreen wipers not operating correctly, well they operate just fine, didn't realise there was another use for them... well there's the list that i got pinged for....oh and i have a spilt radiator hose that leaks when hot, hahahaha they didn't notice that!!! bahhahahah, oh my god! the last time it was over the pits i get (10 months ago) - 1 indicator brighter then the other, 1 mm of tint missing front rear left small window, dirt (not oil dirt) on the bottom of the engine! well i'm getting the message, they don't want my car on the road, well guess what, it's staying on the road! maybe i'll put a turbo in it to piss em off ok, suggestions on sealing bonnet scoop to engine bay??

mangaed to get the old bracket to fit from the uni to the POD, so that's sorted! WTF!! are inspectors allowed to drive ur car?? mines in the pits atm and the guy took it for a drive! i thought they can inspect not test drive??

well what ever the colour is...they said they where giving me a permit to drive it home and then it has to be towed to the pits....assholes. ok ok i'm glad they are legal!!! yeah i don't think the cabL ties will pass hahahaha that was only for the time being anyways. now my coolant is leaking!!! this shit only happens when u don't have money or u get a yellow sticker!! oh well at least it's getting fixed! one thing at a time, if i can pass it first time then there shouldn't be a problem. i'm not taking it to the one i took it to before coz the ass picked on a millimeter scratch on the tint on the back corner little window, one indicator was brighter then the other and there was dirt, not oil, DIRT on the bottom of the engine! and he passed the torn uni filter, but not my exhaust i was hoping he was deaf for that one hahahaha thanks for the advice

hi new to forum, need desperate info, are POD filters illegal in western australia?? i got picked up for speeding at night through road works that hasn't been attended to for 6 odd months with half the signs and cones missing....so they pull me up and pick on my tyres, the backs are bold coz they've been on the front with chambers, i got the car 10 months ago and i got new tyres then, they tried to red sticker me for my tyres but i managed to get outta it, so anyways, i've been getting alot fixed on it, cvs, clutch, selectors, power steering, new air filter, alternator, basicly the whole front end! so i got stickered and now after i changed my degraded uni filter (i think it was custom made) to a pod filter after 10 months looking for an adaptor, i found out it's illegal (not to mention temporeraly cable tied til i can get PAID to get a bracket made) so now i've been told by a few people the POD filter is illegal and others saying not! anyone can tell me in WESTERN AUSTRALIA whether it's legal or not?? and if not, what is that i could use to get it over (then the POD will go back on and i'll stop speeding)??
