In a bold bid to cut speeding deaths on our roads, authorities have designed a campaign to shame men into driving slower.

Built around the slogan "Speeding. No one thinks big of you", the campaign implies that men who drive fast are only doing so to compensate for having small appendages.

See advert here

In explaining the campaign, the RTA says: "Many young guys see speeding as cool.

"All the ads in the world showing the serious injury and death that speeding can cause are becoming less effective.

"Increasingly, young guys simply reject this message. They have an 'it won't happen to me attitude'.

"The 'Speeding. No one thinks big of you' campaign takes a totally different approach.

"It offers young drivers an immediate consequence speed and people will think poorly of you.

"It purposely talks to young guys in their language.

"Testing of the finished ad has shown this is a very salient thought that will change young drivers' behaviour. It could very well be the thread that unravels the mindset that speeding is cool."

How f**king stupid is the RTA? They reckon this one ad is going to change young drivers' behaviour? Its also a bit sexist - there are more than a few girls in the automotive subculture these days. Telling girls they've got a small penis will probably make them stop driving fast will be about as effective as telling me smoking while pregnant will make me quit cigarettes.

street drag racing yeah i agree guys are the main culprits i see it all the time particularly those who drive old commodores etc, but as far as casual speeding goes, ie: doing ten over the limit the whole way to work so you get there on time, or speeding to get to a rock and roll concert etc, is mostly women

i don't even know why i'm posting in this thread...

..i mean, who the HELL cares what i think?

Ive seen the ad and I cracked up laughing so hard.. It obviously applies to men because we have the highest death toll on the rd (young men 18-24) So why not focus on the bigger target?

I thought the ad might actually effect some people driving .. made me actually find a funny side to being stupid lol

it might catch on like the tosser ads run for littering

LOL. telling girls they have small penis' hahahaha, what will the rta think of next

i can't believe people think I have a small cock cause I do burnouts out the front of the wangarratta pub? next time I'm going to drive around with my fly unzipped and if I see any chicks or old ladies making the weener symbol I'm going to stop, and flop the ol trouser snake over the door sill whilst I do a burnout with my meat and 2 veg draped over the door. that'll teach 'em. then we'll see who's the weener.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
