Ok well after last night, i have now lost my license thanks to the unfreindly wankers in the police department.

In the last two weeks i have been pulled over 9 or 10 times. Twice for speeding (the one last night took the cake as it should have been only a 1pt fine not a 6 pt).

Fair enough i do some stupid stuff on the road (speeding, ISD's etc), and i'm more than prepared to take the punishment, but when you just keep getting hassled..... Thats crossing the line.

Up until last night (before being pulled over the SECOND time) i lost all the genuine respect for the police.

So how many times have you lost your license (and maybe post for how long etc)??

Rant off/

EDIT. The first option should read i HAVENT been caught yet... (maybe a mod could change it for me)

Ah, the old 'one point club' eh?

I used to be in that club... really treadin' on egg shells innit. I'm in the six point club at present.

I long for the old days when the cops had to chase you and it was a fair fight!! Now they're trialing spy satelite technology in Pommieland.

Does everyone agree that the general duty cops are fair enough and that all those in Traffic Branch have various degrees of 'personality disorder'?

I lost a string of points and got down to 8 points about 4 years ago. Then I got them all back and was sitting on 12 points till one morning on the way to work on a double demerit long weekend I got pulled over for doing 70 in a 60 zone. So currently I'm on 10, never lost my license. There's a time and a place to be stupid and thats called the track and the drag strip.

not mentioning any names, but i'm sick of the bitching going on in the forums, lets cut the crap yeah? let people post what they want to post, in good reason..... no need to bag them out!

i'm sure most of yall will know what i am talking about, if not just read one post above erik's last one

adrian :D

sorry for that being off topic :)

back on with losing licenses

anyone know how many points you have when on p's? is it 6?

coz i pretty sure i've lost two already :)

camera's should be only for happy family snaps, not catching speeders dammit :D

adrian :D

lost mine many times last time was about 2 years ago for lack of points again.With all the bad press at the moment the police will be out in large numbers trying to prove there in charge of the roads, so mite be a good time to be a little selective were we all drive and at what speeds.

Ther traffic branch was disbanded some years ago - a traffic branch still exist but there are no longer coppers dedicated to "traffic" as such. They are expected to be "rousta bouts" and do a bit of everything - hence they know less about car laws etc as they are not specialised in this area, as the 'old school' coppers would have been.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
