It was announced (on Nova news) that the Gold Coast, Logan and Redcliffe are Hoon territories and that the new hoon drives a turbo car with subwoofer.

The first road rule change announced today was double demerit points for speed 20ks over the limit.

Dang i work in all those places (so forced to travel there frequently) :D + drive turbo car + have subwoofer :(

so this is across the board?? not like a temporary initative (like they do in holidays in some states issuing double points)??

Fair go for someone doing 80++ kph in a 60 zone but in a 100 zone i think the penalty would be too harsh IMO (as they'res many that do 120 on the M1 etc during the quiet periods of the day or in the fast lane)

I have no subwoofer............

I stand by the fact that when they cannot find the cause of an accident they blame speed.

As Dick Johnson has said MANY times (and I highly agree with him from having a drag racing background) that EDUCATION is the solution, or a very large part there of.

Oh and double demerit points, more revenue raising cause I am sure they will double the fine to go with it!!!

The amount the Govt raises from fines could easily fund education facilities and training, but instead it seems it better spent elsewhere.

Also on a side note, it costs more to bury someone than educate them to drive!!!

Add to the fact that alot of people no longer have the respect or common courtesy on our roads and you have a recipe for disaster...not only that but the lack of respect extends, though I dare to the tools in Cronulla...

Oh and this malarchy still has to go through parliament...

well i got done last year doing 112km/h in an 80km/h zone. that is 32km/h over the limit. and when i was doing this speed i though that it was a 100 zone. so if this rule was in at the time, i would have lost my licence for a mistake i made. its really not going to solve anything, just more ppl without licences, its not gonna make ppl do the speed limit is it.....

I couldn't of said it better, here here!

i just heard on the news, that the doule demerit points will be for repeat offenders. so if u get caught twice u will cop double, which i think in fair enough. bcoz i know since i got caught, ive been alot more careful, its just always in the back of your mind, and u tend to watch your speed more.

I saw that on the news just before and fell of my bike"excercise".

LOL, WTF, "beattie" bleated on about getting the 1% hard nut. I find this is amusing as "hard nut" and so call hoon would take 1 day to work out where all the fix cameras are and avoid the areas, but the joe blo average mums and dad will be punish for driving in condition that they are comfortable with, althought "illegal" in the eyes of the "govt." people who have orchestrate legalised stealling

Also notice how no public feedback was accumulated and not even a whisper of better driver education or better road.

I'm counting the day until the next state election.

And the road less... Not having a go at you, but its logic. Eyes not on the road when they are on the speedo.

yeah, im always looking at the speedo every 30sec or so to make sure im not speeding up or anything. i cant relax much anymore, im too worried when im behind the wheel. its so easy to speed with out even thinking of it.

A recent correspondent called "Custer" complains that speed cameras are a "tax on wheels". This irresponsible attitude makes me very angry indeed. If I had my way there would be thousands of speed cameras all over the country. There are far too many racers like Mr. "Custer" on the roads causing accidents. If fining them doesn't slow them down, then jail them! I would put a penny on Income Tax and build more prisons to keep these racers off the roads. Not namby-pamby prisons with colour TV, good food, education and leisure facilities, but bread and water diet, and rock breaking prisons. The resulting decrease in accidents and claims would bring down insurance premiums and offset the increase in Income Tax. It would also create employment building and operating the prisons. Two birds with one stone I think!

Whoever that quote comes from needs a huge smack in the head from reality.

After further reflection I am still quite angry...

The minimalistic approach to "cost" items like improved roads and education is sickening at the very least.

Seems the focus on the Beattie government is "revenue" items will cause people to better handle unexpected situations and conditions on our roads.

I too am counting the days until the next election, Mr Beattie your days are numbered you incompetant fwit, the main things that you proclaimed being able to fix, transport and hospitals, and all you have done is f it up more.

On a side note your son definitely follows in his father footsteps...

Yeah but what can we do about it? Once the other side get in, they'll be just as bad, if not worse, in this aspect possibly not the others (eg hospitals et al).

But even if we did go, all they would do is push the fact that they reckon more speed camera's and bigger fines will fix everything, meanwhile in the real world it doesnt and the road toll rises!

If people cant read and write properly, they are offered education to help them, why should driving be any different?!?!?

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
