Here's a good one for you all:

If a cop writes out a expiation notice for a offence committed by a person sitting in the back seat (passenger) yet writes on the expiation notice that he was the driver AND passenger... and then gets another warning in the mail saying he's now even the owner of the vehicle in question (yet he's the passenger of a mates car)... what can you do?

Also have to note, that the evidence against the passenger (basically the notes that the cop took down) is literally unreadable scribble. You can make out 2 words in the 8 lines he's written. Nothing else is readable. Even lawyers deem the notes/evidence unreadable.

Is it worth taking to court? Will they just correct it or is it classified as a major error?

I had thought that the driver is fined for the passenger not wearing the seat belt ... is that what is actually in question here? How can the passenger be fined? Its the driver's ultimate responsibility therefore he/she will be the one fined. Would you hand out a fine to a 10yo kid in the back seat?

Correct me if I'm wrong. :ermm:

Spotted "aaah31" in the City about 2pm today. :ermm: I was the biker cutting thru traffic ;)
i thought he basically told all of us to f**k off and that hes going back to perth?
Thats right!

Well, he's still in Adelaide :rolleyes:

lol, I must have missed that whole episode......did something happen during the week I was away?

don't quote me on this but I think if the passenger is over 18 they are at least responsible and possibly the driver as well

However if the passenger is under 18, the driver is responsible.

Correct me if I'm wrong :ermm:

Hey guys, yes, this is another one of those "should I buy this" posts from me... I'm sorry but I'm very pedantic when it comes to big purchases like a car.

The car I'm looking at at the moment is here: http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=11EECA35A9B0

I have checked the oil and coolant, all fine. The guy has reciepts for the services, including the major 100,000km one, done at 94,000ks. Services have been done every 5000ks after that (with reciepts). All that was done at Sinergy.

The speedometer is a bit dodgy, it keeps flicking on and off, but he said that could be easily fixed. The bumper also has a few minor scratches on it, because it is quite low. Other than that, it's pretty clean.

If I do decide to get it, I will take it to a mechanic (Martin Donnon) to give it an inspection

Any comments? Price offer suggestions are also welcome, I'm aiming for $16.5k.

Cheers for your continued help :)

Yep, got defected for my wheels 'hanging out of the guards' but still being in track and legal diameter. That's all he done me for, not to low or loud or ANYTHING other than that. I see that as revenue raising at its finest.

I'll be calling Regency tomorrow morning and explaining the lot to them. The officer even complimented me on how stock my car was! But I still got regency

Whats my chances?

It's 16, Pete!

If you're even 16 and on your L's and get caught in a backseat with no seat belt, you lose 3 points! Regardless what license you have.

Spot on mate

I got done, passed out drunk in the back of my mates company van, sleeping amongst all the tools. Mate got pulled over, I got woken up by a police officer and booked for no seatbelt. Blah!

Martin is not a mechanic, he is a tuner.

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
