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"

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....

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.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
