i saw a new holden wraped in vicroads stickers, whats up with them, do they have the right to pull you over ect..?

They only pull over trucks.

I would say the main cause for it is the commonwealth games around the corner in an attempt to get all the rubbish off the roads.

Sticking a yellow sticker on a car and getting their $165 out of you does nothing to get any cars off the road.

it does if you don't have the shit fixed in the couple of weeks they give you.

Funky we all know most roadworthy places laugh at anything cops put down on a canary and vicroads dont give 2 shits and dont even look at ur car when you go to clear it!!!

Been there done that with 2 different cars!!

Long as the vic government get their $165 fine payment is all they care about

lay low.. wait to the commonwealth games are on.. and take over the suburbs whilst the cops are busy :( free run...

Wouldn't suprise me its a move to scare people off before the commonwealth games. They did that sort of thing in Sydney as well when those games were on.

Yeah well there certainly around, saw quite a few people being busted in Preston today. Another big defect station is outside the Fawkner Cemetery On Sydney Road.

Its just getting to me that ive gotta worry about this shit when I drive my car. I keep my car legal yet you still get pulled over.

Thing is most of the time Im driving my Camry and Its not a problem. I dont want to get rid of my car. Might have to get a Japanese Import Camry :(

i didnt get a "badge of honour" (yellow defect sticker) on my windscreen.... and i didnt get a fine neither......

but i got a defect notice given to me....

should i have been given a yellow defect sticker???

depends if the "roadworthy" box is ticked. if its not than you dont need to get a RWC, just fix it urself and take it to Vicroads

Its almost falling off. If it falls off im not touching it because im not allowed to :)

lol i had a delivery right around the corner in my truck and couldnt be bothered getting stopped of held up in traffic for 30 minutes, so i detoured for 30minutes, but at least i was still driving

    • Yea mine does, I assume we all use the same sensor. I'm not sure whether it is exact down to the .1%, but it definitely does have decimal points involved.
    • Haha fair question. For two reasons. 1. Once I'm done migrating my water/methanol system over from pre-TB to direct port, I'll be hitting the dyno again. I also plan on trying Ignite E98 race fuel at the same time. I could not be bothered with emptying the tank every time, so anything between E70-E98 I'll be happy with. "Race" fuels are very expensive vs pump E85, so if I grow annoyed of paying, I may also just cross the border to fill a barrel and keep it in the garage.  2. Quebec is slowly increasing all pump fuels from E10 -> E15 by 2030. My daily fuel is 100RON + Water/Methanol and this will have an impact over the years. 
    • Maybe for when he's feeling rich and buys E85 drums
    • I have to ask, if all your fuel is the same, why did you buy and install a flex sensor?  I'm so confused, what do you use the flex sensor calibration tables for? 
    • Thanks everyone for the responses. Our fuel in Quebec is all E10 by law. We do not have any other options. I know in the US, E85 has a wide tolerance (~51-85%) and I had presumed E10 would also have a slight tolerance but to some peoples point... if it's regulated by law then more effort must be put in to keep it at 10%. I'm thinking I'm just going to remove my sensor, cap an end and fill it with different fuels I have in the shed for my lawn tractor, power toys, etc. They are all lower octane and from different vendors. I'm presuming if I still see no variance from 11% after that, then I can conclude the sensor is no bueno.    Your sensor reads down to .1%'s? I recall mine only reading 0-100%. I'll check in my ecu tonight in case I didn't scale it properly.
