This coming from someone that usually has a go at people on here for 'hooning'..... Oh but you had a good reason to 'hoon' i guess... Think twice before having a go at someone else for commenting something like this, or on how tragic it is when someone is killed by a 'hoon', today it could have been you that killed someone..

if he stopped at 60, no laws would have been broken. Rapid acceleration is not a crime.

-D

Pretty sure rapid acceleration is a crime man - A cop would call that hoon driving, excessive engine noise. I'll launch my GT-R to 60 and see if I don't get pinged, with no wheel spin and I'll still get pwnt.

Unless they can point out the legislation which defines the maximum acceptable rate of acceleration, it'd never hold up in court. I also don't believe there's a law on 'engine noise' either.

If you spin your wheels, you get done for driving with undue care... my point is tho, unless there is a written law, sure they can give you a fine or whatever, but it'd get thrown out in court if theres no legislation against it...

Also this is apples vs oranges - a bike by nature takes off a hell of a lot faster than a car, even when its not being driven hard. Little thing called 'power to weight ratio'

-D

EDIT - Kye did you challenge it in court or did you simply pay a fine?

I've been fined for undue engine noise man - its 'hoon driving' straight up. Thats why this whole hoon driving bullshit gives me the sh!ts because its too much of a grey area and if you do get a bad cop he can pin anything on you under 'hoon' driving laws.

Yeah I agree... thats why I'd be challenging it - too much ambiguity in the legislation. If our pollies had even half a brain per person they would have seen how fundamentally flawed it is.

My argument in court would be 'what constitutes "undue engine noise" as per a specific volume?' and then I would ask 'If exceeding (x) dB constitutes undue engine noise, can the officer in question supply credible measured proof as to the noise of the engine he believes to be 'excessive'.

Theres a reason why they have noise analysers in police cars - for exhausts, loud parties as well as anything else that would breach the EPA act - if they don't use it, then they're not providing the defendant with all possible avenues to defend their innocence. That alone is generally a caveat that gets cases thrown out of court.

There will be some excuse to say that it was ok though.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
