Firstly, it feels like everyone speeds in built up areas. The amount of people tailgating, flashing, beeping, etc. that I've had from people telling me to go faster is shocking. But I don't think I've had another P-plater do it yet.

I noticed that too,

Even when I stop at a red light on a freeway entry people have abused me saying "Their was no one else there, you could have gone!!!" I just yell "F*ck you!" back at them...

Or going along a 70 zone doing the limit, people will over take me and give me the finger for not going fast enough... and they usaully got stopped at the lights and I'm right next to them again... just plain stupid...

As of yet I haven't had a P-Plater do any of that to me...

wtf?

as said previously its all driver training not what you drive

should implement a licensing system like japan or germany

also make it so you only get 6 demerit points like eastern states

be 99% fewer dickheads and 100% safer roads

what do you mean wtf? Nothing was directed at you. :P Oh and merging topics has f*ked the flow of things...

I even had a cop tailgate me one night on reid hwy between altone & beachboro trying to get me to speed lol. I think being a P-plater with a radar detector didn't help, but 'sif I'd be stupid enough to not notice a marked car behind me lol.

He cut another P-plater off to stay behind me too haha, where it merges after the lights.

Agree'd lol.

Yeah, I got that on my p's. I used to drive from gero to perth and back again every fortnight in my pulsar. That'd get right up my arse for about 2k's, so I used to slow down to 100 to wind them up haha. they'd get over it and slow down and turn around.

Lol I was close to brake-checking him, but then I thought, I'm sure they'd find a way to make it my fault even though they weren't leaving a safe distance, and "a cat ran out, you didn't see it?" isn't actually a legal reason to brake.... Hahaha.

Im a bit lazy to read all 8 pages so I dunno if this has been said or not but anyway...

It makes sense to have a power ban when you first get your licence. They do it for motorbikes so why not motor vehicles too.

Condolences to the girls family and friends.

Hope the driver dies though, dont give a fk if anyone knows him, drive like a fk wit then pay the consequences.

There's not a power ban on motorbikes, only a displacement ban.

Also, there has been nothing but media speculation that he was driving like a f**kwit. The media also claimed at one stage that it was a V8, and at another stage that it had a $6,000 supercharger, so they clearly aren't the most reliable source of information. Please don't assume things unless there is proof.

think you're being rather picky ....we all know what he means. for the first 12mnths of having your motorbike licence you are only allowed to ride a 250cc....

Flite, rather harsh words. I bet you have never exceeded the speed limit hey.

Yeah, but the point I was making is that the motorbike laws are still flawed. For example, an RS250 is a pretty fast bike, and there's nothing to say you can't make them even faster. But then you can't ride a larger bike, even if it's slower. Still a better system than letting a new rider onto a hayabusa, but flawed none the less.

ROFL

Pretty sure the bike thing works on power too.. a mate had a 650cc dominator (road/trail) which is able to be used on a small bike license as it only had like 33kW.

Also, don't brake-check cops.. they'll do you for dangerous driving (another mate of mine got done for it).

I'm a good boy :D

So anyone know, when these power bans will come into affect (some guys at uni were saying that its planned for the end of the year)? or is it still in the "planning" stages, as I can't find any info on the WA licensing website.

Hope it only affects the drivers who got their Ps after the effective date, otherwise I got no car to drive :P... just like now...

Pretty sure it effects all P-platers unless they already have a turbo in their name, if it's going to be like the eastern states.

Sucks for me, seeing as my turbo conversion isn't started yet lol. And I'm guessing the performance restrictions went from low priority to "oh shit, quick, introduce them in a matter of weeks" lol.

Ahh... theres still time for me!, I better hurry & change the car from under my dad's name to mine :down:, 1st thing on my "to do list" when I get my car back from the panel shop... XD

btw, I thought the VIC road rules were that the new power restrictions only effected the ppl who got their Ps after the date the restrictions came in...

This is ridiculous, will people forever just wash their hands of personal responsibility and just look left, right and centre for scapegoats...

Bolt down the doors, store 800,000 cans of baked beans, cover your house in 10 meters of concrete, IF U DON'T YOU WILL DIE!

FFS...

Jesus christ Mark, it's not that drastic and it's not shifting blame. It's an attempt to educate and control new drivers. Something should be done retrospectively for the existing drivers aswell in terms of more education and training but you do have to start at the source.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
