IT IS TRUE, law is that if you stop for a cat on the road (or any SMALL animal), to avoid hitting it, and you get involved in an accident, its your fault.

c'mon ... I specifically asked for references. :)

I know it's 'common sense' that you don't swerve to avoid hitting small animals, but as I mentioned where do you draw the line? What about a herd of geese, or a lamb. Would a tiger or leapord be classified as a cat? This sort of thing is too ambiguous to be a set in stone law.

Anyway I'll believe it when you find me a 'law' regarding it ;)

edit: here are the SA road rules for your convenience - just quote the part which states it :)

You guys dont know how lucky you are. EVERY time I go for a drive here i get tailgated. I live on a one way road that runs along a river bank.very narrow ,houses are very close to the road and theres a kindergarten too.speed limits 30 but everyone does 50 or 60. I drive at 30 and get assholes sitting so close to me i cant see their number plate or headlights. trying to work out how to modify my rear window spray to shoot backwards instead of downwards

I had some tailgate me for no reason on Windsor grove klemzig. I was sitting on 50, he woulgnt pass and when i got to n/east rd i thought im goning to sit in the middle of the lane because i needed o turn right. The bastard went up the kerb to pull up beside me, and when i looked at him and thought whats your problem, he was out of his car and coming at me. he managed to kick my r/hand rear quarter panel as i drove of into head on traffic {2 lanes} as it wasnt clear to turn right into that traffic. he pissed of back into his car and drove off to the left. i spun around to face the right way and thought f/u bastard you arent going to get away with this so speed up to get his number plate. the b.....d realized what i was trying to get his number plate so locked it up and came reversing back at me in both lanes so i pulled to the right got his number plate and hung a u turn. what do you know. the plate was stolen ! lucky insurance paid half ! now thats road rage

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.

      Most women will agree that parking is the most taxing part of driving
