Yep illegal to run an orange if cop believes you had time to stop. Hes well within his rights to book you.

EDIT (aka translation): Illegal run orange cos cop see you stop. Always book you for that.  ;)

but in court u can always argue that "u didnt feel u had enough time to stop safely before the line"

"A red traffic light means stop, green means go and yellow means you must stop if you can safely do so."

hehe, my bad, i was wrong,

but maybe i can argue that i wont be able to stop completely intime.  :P

how the feck did you pass your driving test if you don't know what an ornage light means is what i want to know!  :)

word.

i cannot beleive you needed to see the TRA website to learn that....what the hell did you think it meant? "Im turning orange...nail it so you dont have to stop at the red"

lol.

Hi,

Just thought i would shared my expericenced,

Today, just driving around a busy shopping center. 2 cops on bicycle, I saw, so i drive as normal as i could.

At traffic light, where Right Turn arrow light just turn yellow, I turn anywai, as it is allowed.

Then the cops on the bicyle pulled me over

cop: do u know y i pulled u over?

me: No, I duno, why?

Cop: U duno?

me: I didnt do anything wrong

Cop: U turn right when the light goes red,

Me: I did not, I turn when the light was still amber,

Cop: when the light goes amber, u still have to chance to stop but u didnt, and u turn, then its GREEN on the pedestrian crossing,

Me: as far as i know, as long as u passed the line when the light still yellow, its legally fine.

cop: NOPE, when light goes yelow, if u can stop u have to stop.

argue on and on, then he ask for license and took him 15 mins later to let me go.

i scared he asked me to pop the bonnet as i got POD, and my 3" exahust,

wats the deal with the light?

i mean, is he used that excuse to pull me over? cops are weird,

It must have been a fast push bike to keep up with you and catch you!!!!!!!

Mate that stuff happens all the time (maybe not push bikes cathcing skylines)

I got pulled over onse, and like he said I was doing 80, and I said no, so he sed yes, and I was llike o RLY? and he goes yes rly, but he didn't have any proof, so he said I did 80 and i said no wai, and he said I did 80, but I said I did 60 and he said I did 80 but I said I did 60, and he said o rly? and I said ya rly! so he said no wai! and I said no I was doin 60 not 80, and he said no you were doin 80 not 60, and I was llike o RLY? and he goes yes rly, but he didn't have any proof, so he said I did 80 and i said no wai, and he said I did 80, but I said I did 60 and he said I did 80 but I said I did 60, and he said o rly? and I said ya rly! so he said no wai! and I said no I was doin 60 not 80, and he said no you were doin 80 not 60, and I was llike o RLY? and he goes yes rly, but he didn't have any proof, so he said I did 80 and i said no wai, and he said I did 80, but I said I did 60 and he said I did 80 but I said I did 60, and he said o rly? and I said ya rly! so he said no wai! and I said no I was doin 60 not 80, and he said no you were doin 80 not 60, and I was llike o RLY? and he goes yes rly, but he didn't have any proof, so he said I did 80 and i said no wai, and he said I did 80, but I said I did 60 and he said I did 80 but I said I did 60, and he said o rly? and I said ya rly! so he said no wai! and I said no I was doin 60 not 80, and he said no you were doin 80 not 60, and I was llike o RLY? and he goes yes rly, but he didn't have any proof, so he said I did 80 and i said no wai, and he said I did 80, but I said I did 60 and he said I did 80 but I said I did 60, and he said o rly? and I said ya rly! so he said no wai! and I said no I was doin 60 not 80, and he said no you were doin 80 not 60, and I was llike o RLY? and he goes yes rly, but he didn't have any proof, so he said I did 80 and i said no wai, and he said I did 80, but I said I did 60 and he said I did 80 but I said I did 60, and he said o rly? and I said ya rly! so he said no wai! and I said no I was doin 60 not 80, and he said no you were doin 80 not 60... here's your f**kin ticket and a parking ticket for parking in this zone for an hour to argue with me, kthanxbai. And I was like omg so pwnd.

:lol: LOL

it was a busy shopping center, slow traffics, and he steps in front of my car. No choice,

I can run him over? haha,

where i lived, cops on bicycle is common,

Edited by ZXFIRE

Well if he stepped in front of you and you hit him you could have said 'See? I wouldn't have stopped in time for that yellow light?'

NB: Don't run down cops mmkay? :P

man i can't believe you got pulled over by a cop on a bicycle. did he have like a portable siren? lol. or does he just make the noise like eddie murphy in raw? haha, he must have been puffed after catching up to you to pull you over.

i've been done, 3 points and $300 f**kin ridiculous, light didn't turn orange till i was 3/4 way thru the intersection but the local bitch cop still found it neccesary, me and my mates have racked up so many trivial ridiculous fines from her its not funny. but yeah tried everything to get out of it and nothing....

FUnkey Monkey thats the funniest thing in the thread LOL :D.

In adelaide there are tonnes of cops on bicycles around glenleg and hindley, rundle street. LOL They are cops you can just run away from them now can u. Ya heard of a radio and more cops will be chasing u down ready to ram ur ass with pain.

you see it depends.

if you have already crossed the white line and it turns amber whilst going straight, by the time you stop, you'd be in the middle of the intersection. In this case, I reckon u could keep going and should not get pinned for anything.

but since you were doing a U turn, your speed should of been slow enough to stop relatively quickly. This is iffy and would prolly be up to police discretion.

i think that even if you stop rather than going through it, and you cross the solid white line, you've technically run the red...and if they want to be tight, they'll get you for it.

dont quote me on this, but someone once told me that the dotted lines that divide the lanes, they become solid a certain distance away from the solid line at the intersection...if the light turns amber and you are at the solid lines dividing the lanes, you're allowed to go through and dont have to stop as its probably not safe.. seems logical to me

man i can't believe you got pulled over by a cop on a bicycle. did he have like a portable siren? lol. or does he just make the noise like eddie murphy in raw? haha, he must have been puffed after catching up to you to pull you over.

nah was that black dude from police academy that could make all the cool noises :lol:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
