IMO if you get in the car with a drunk driver you are an idiot and the driver shouldn't be responsibility, voluntary assumption of risk.

Criminal might be different. f**ks me.

friends dont let friends drink and drive

remember those ads?

if your mate is trashed and you've tried to advise him against driving and he goes anyway, you've done your bit. You can't legally hold them against their will

sucks, but them's the rules

Dynamix: JD wasn't driving. I swear they reported that he was but todays article said he wasn't.

Konrad: I don't know. In civil law (negligence) you wouldn't be found guilty as you assumed the risk of getting into a car with a drunk driver.

a driver has a duty of care to the other occupants of the car..

say you were on a cruise ship and the captain was a drunk and rammed into a container ship, would it be your fault for getting on board in the first place?

If you are aware of his drinking then yes.

One of the defences of negligence is voluntry assumption of risk. Like I said, I don't know about criminal but in civil entering a car with a drunk driver and you know he is drunk then you won't win.

I don't let my friends drink and drive. I live about 20 minutes from them up on the edge of the blackall ranges, its a dangerous drive and drunk you'd pretty much be screwed. There is a crash on the road up every few days.

Sitting here listening to the radio, and they just had a report about the tripple fatality from the sunshine coast last week or over the weekend or something (they didn't go into much detail about it) but now they're whinging that there's people doing "burnouts" and "spinning their wheels" nearby, and they are now labelling 'hoons' as 'murderers' (in their own words)

What

The

F*#$?

its bcoz where the accident happened was in a residential street, and i dont disagree with ppl going to the crash site, but doing burnouts is no way to pay tribute to there dead friends IMO. i think its a shame....

yeah this is old news... so were a facet of society targetted by the media? get over it, thats what the media does,

some other faves;

-refugees

-knocked up teenagers

-junkies

-conmen

-arabs/lebs

not to speculate on the above incident but if i had people in the car and was more than a bit over the limit (in either speed/ alcohol and had something go wrong i'd label it as manslaughter, the driver is in control and assumes responsibility for everyone in the car regardless of the passengers gettin in on their own free will.

"Next on Today Tonight, A refugee arabic conman gets knocked-up to pay for drug addiction, while chucking skids"

oh, i agree with you....

the point i'm trying to make, and that people here seem to be missing... is that the media aren't labelling the DRIVER as a murderer, they're labelling ALL car enthusiasts/hoons as MURDERERS

I think you'll find that you could hold them against their will. It's legal to prevent someone committing a criminal offence isn't it?

if they're sober enough to remember and they press charges, they'll win =P

Ok, here is some more info for you to ponder over.

There was a 5th passenger, young girl who got out before this happened. It’s lead to believe the speed was around 160kph.

The reason being they were chasing a black WRX. The owner of the WRX apparently hit/abused/assaulted one of the girls in the car.

I guess more will be known when the Police finish with the 5th girl, and get a chance to talk to the girl in hospital (if she pulls through).

That's OK I label most people as dickheads, people behind the above mentioned comments fall into that category. The media is fuelled by misinformation and scare tactics with EVERY facet of life, they even dug under every rock they could find to get hold of a drug addict that had his life ruined by experimenting one schoolies lol, yeah I'm sure it was one event that turned his life to shit.

The media always finds an easy scapegoat to blame all problems on...car enthusiast haven't been accused of inciting violence yet though, maybe one day?

HAHAHA, good call dan! dickheads!! love it.

Getting into a car with a drunk driver when you know they are drunk will likely reduce the liability of a drunk driver if you took civil action against them, but it is not a complete defence. They are still likely to have some liability.

To coin a great Today Tonight Phrase

"it's Un Australian"

Speed kills/dont drink and drive/every K over is a killer/ drink drive bloody idiot/ how fast you going now /

Guess your right ...no one does pay attention to the media.

today the owner of the car was buried. apparently, from what i was listeneing to on the radio, some ppl who were mates of them decesed made up some stickers for the cars saying "R.I.P JD slow down" trying to get a msg across to others. and there were a few ppl who left the funeral etc doing skids. they need there heads red!

i feel sorry for the real family and friends of the victims who have to put up with the crap from the ppl who did that afterwards.

    • 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.
