hey

I was driving back from Yanchep on Saturday the 20th Oct on Marmion Ave 90km zone stuck behind a few slow cars doing about 80km I think one was towing a caravan . so when the next overtaking Zone (extra lane for about 1KM) came up I put my foot down and got passed them but just as I was just pulling back into the left lane doing about 125km I got flashed :banana:

i think its F#@%ing Bull$*&t!!!!! Because it was a singed overtaking zone.

I’m on my P plates and want to know what I’m in for :thanks:

Can anyone help me out so I know what I’m in for?

Yeah might be in a bs spot but you got caught being above the limit, tough luck & take it is about all you can do.

Exactly what is bull$hit about it? just cause its an overtaking zone doesnt mean u go 35km over the limit to overtake. If you can't ovetake safely within the speed limit then you shouldn't have done so.

You are gonna cop $350 and 5 demerits info courtesy of http://www.officeofroadsafety.wa.gov.au/in...topicsPenalties

Thanks for the fast replies

at first I thought I might get $350 fine and 5 points as on RAC website but then my mate told me that more than 29KM over is loss of licence because I am a P plater! :thanks:

I have looked all over the net and can’t find anything to back this up any thoughts?

cheers!

Yeah as said above, despite common belief, overtaking lanes are only used to over take people who are doing less than the speed limit, meaning you overtake them doing the speed limit (or less).

Be glad you didn't get pulled over doing it, from what I remember when you're doing 35 above they can also press dangerous driving charges.

Pay the fine, loose the points and learn from the mistake.

I went on a cruise with UCCC and i was done on a double demerit w/k doing 128 in a 50 zone but they let me off for 99 in a 50 zone. Im a P plater and i got off with a $250 fine and 8 demerits.

I dont know how it happend but i got really lucky.

When it comes to overtaking, you can go above the speed limit by 10%. In other words, in that 80 zone, you can over take at a max speed of 88 km/h. Mind sound like crap, cause it takes forever to get past, but that is how it is. Bad luck mate.

Don't know where you read/heard that, but according to the road rules book you are not allowed to exceed the speed limit to overtake.

As for radar detectors, mine must be crap because it only detects them like 100m away max (usually less) even when there is no traffic around. Still, a little warning is better then no warning.

It depends on if your licence is suspended or cancelled. If it is suspended you don't need to resit the test, but if it is cancelled you have to resit the learners test and the driving test again (not the hazard perception test & log book though).

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
