why dont they scrap ridiculous revenue raising stunts like that on Tapleys hill road this morning, and try and up the numbers of capturing theives and hooligans for punishment...

The amount of speed and red light cameras planted in this city are more than enough, and make enough $ to fund the financial years state budget on maintaining all the existing equipment.

i wonder if theyve started with the green wheelie bin technology up in the Adelaide hills... complete shite.

to me its worth more to catch theives contributing to the growing amount of vehicles being stolen in SA.

the transit police can deal with that stuff dan, thats what their sub department is there for.

Simple don't speed and you won't get caught.......... Dunno what diff ratios you guys have(lol) but my car sits on 60 in 4th easyier than whore with her legs spread! Theres NO excuse for speeding in the metro area! They have cameras everywhere now, so don't speed!

I do understand about the cars being stolen, as mine was targeted a week or 2 ago, and i wish they could do something about these tools getting around!!

That wasn't a speed camera. It checks your registration to see if its current or if you have any outstanding fines etc..

if its out, the cops pull you over down the road

How do I know? My Fiance got done yesterday by it, we completley forgot to re-new her rego and it was a month out.

We used to rego our cars at the same time, but since I sold mine, it had both slipped our minds. The sticker is tucked away under the tint on the windsreen, so it wasn't obvious to either of us.

Also, the cops gave the car a good once over, and threatend to defect the car for bald rear tyres. They are still pretty good, but as usual they had a bit of a power trip and scared her quite a bit. Even asked if she had any tatoo's or scars etc and if she knew the colour of her own eye's.

So we be sent out a notice to appear in court. Needless to say, the car was rego'd within a hour of this happening.

Has anyone else been in this situation, or know of the penalty?

    • I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
