Thats going way to far though.

There is a point where breaking the law and not, and then being watched big brother style 24-7 is going beyond that point.

Especially with 880mil in revenue this year from speed cameras, i could think of a dozen things that require some funding but wont ever see it

agreed!

its to stop dickheads from driving when people step out off the tram

i see it daily, and im surprised more people havnt been hit before

i think its a good move

ok fair enough about the people getting off thing. but why put a cam at the front to get motorists in front of trams/nowhere near the doors?

just another revenue thing, no brainer really...

youre missing the point.

its to stop people from getting seriously injured or killed.

and how hard is it to stop when you see a tram slowing down?

ive seen people come flying thru just as the doors open, and to come only within seconds of seriously hurting, or possibly killing them

oh well, the cabbies are gonna cop it

HaHa...so true!

Seriously though,

....I think they are using a band-aid or reactive solution to the problem rather than taking a pro-active approach. You can even apply this to speeding, road tolls, etc, -more Police presence on the roads is required as it has a pro-active approach. The use of cameras is favorable only because after its initial installation cost the upkeep is significantly cheaper compared to a few hundred extra Police officers wages every year.

As someone who catches a tram every day to and from work all i can say is this is such a good idea.

So many idiots zoom past the trams when they are meant to give way, I'd say that I see one every day at least. In the last two months the tram i have been in has been hit by people trying to do u-turns or trying to duck in front of the tram to turn right.

If people break the rules they should be fined right in the arse. Its not hard to drive properly.

Hehe last time I checked, suggesting people should get run over is a pretty stupid thing to say. If it was in jest, why get so upset when someone jests back? Your assumption of grungy (grundgy?) social outcosts, foolishness and handicaps is amazingly childish and terribly cliched for someone considering themselves a comedian.

Lighten up spunky trunks :D.

This is no battle of wits between you and me. I never pick on somebody who is unarmed, but hell, I'll make an exception for this time only. This is soooooo funny, just because of the fact you tried to correct my spelling of "grungy" when it was actually spelt in the correct manner/form and according to thefreedictionary.com, your misspelt "grundy" doesn't even exist in the listings CLICK HERE...

Now you got me all curious with that "outcosts" term you have used above... Are we talking accounting here? All this sounds Greek to me, it doesn't know whether to scratch its watch or wind its ass. :D

I'm always smiling babe.. don't worry about me. :(

:)

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
