Some of it is not bad.

eg.

Mobility Parking Permit holders are now allowed to stop for up to five minutes (previously two minutes) to pick up or set down passengers in a no parking zone. All other drivers can remain for two minutes only.

So this means that you are allowed to set down passengers at no parking zones for max 2 mins.

That's how I read it. Maybe it was already a rule but wasnt really written anywhere (AFAIK)

How annoying will it be taking off from a set of lights in a 80kph zone with a bunch of push bike riders

taking off from infront of you.

How long does it take to get to 80kph for your average bike rider on a flat surface?

Too damn F'ing long, thats the answer.

I think you were always allowed to stop in a no parking zone but they have just clarified what stopping means. 2 minutes or under.

Bob will not be happy to hear of this rubbish. He always rides on the tank of my bike. Loves it. Has done thousands of km on there.

When it comes to push bikes, China here we come. I am so sick of the bikes up there, now I have to experience the same headache back home too, that is just great. My two cents on this matter, push bikes should not be allowed on the road untill they start paying registration. Why should the rest of us be fined and lose points. Are this bike ridders so in a hurry that they need to be ahead of the rest of the vehicles, which are much faster than a bike, i might add and as if that is not bad enough we are going to sit there and watch some bike execute a very time consuming hook turn.

Ok, I feel better now, back to happy thoughts, life is too short to worry about this.

:P

^^^^^ Agreed!!!

If it doesn't have an engine they shouldn't be allowed..

It also states rollerblades and those little scooters aren't so why should bikes..

We pay to use the bloody road.. and too much at that so the last thing we should have to put up with is those riders taking up a whole bloody good lane!!!

They should be charged rego too if they want to use the roads..

I find it so difficult why people cannot follow this simple rule, would save so many dickheads side swiping cars.

Keeping off a painted island

You can now only drive on a painted island for up to 50 metres if you are entering or leaving the road, or entering a turning lane that begins immediately after the painted island. You still must not drive on a section of painted road that is surrounded by double lines.

I also find it offensive that they make all the school zones double the cost, I dont see how it effects any children being run down if you park for over 2 minutes, sorry stop. Im all for the higher speeding fines, and all for 40km/h zones. Id appreciate more 40km/h flashing signs.

YOu were always allowed to stop in no parking zones - on the cyclist thing yeah they shit me too but on the other hand more people on push bikes = less people in cars = less traffic, pollution and parking for me, so why not I say.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
