Tonight, i was pulled up by police in front of a police station where they were conducting RBT tests as far as i could see. The police man asked me if i had anything to drink, i said 'no not at all' because that was the truth, he then asked 'do you have your licence there?' i said yes and handed it over.

He handed it back, and then i sat there, waiting for the RBT. After nothing happened for a few secs, i asked, is that it? He said yes you can go. So i left.

My point is, i dont think the police are doing their jobs properly! Have other people been pulled over for RBT and not tested like me??

Even when i was caught speeding about 2 months ago, they wrote me the ticket, but did not even bother to breathalyse me. What if someone was drunk and speeding? They wouldnt stop them!

Ive brought this up cuz its the second time, and i think its really stupid of the police.

Plus when i was pulled up tonight, another officer was looking over my car and writing down stuff, i dont know what for...but that was worrying....

Hmmm.. I don't think the cop did anything wrong. In fact I would have driven away thinking "What a good cop"..

You see.. in the USA they are not allowed to breathlise you unless they have reason to suspect your drunk. Hence the 'walk the line please sir' test.

RBT's in our country employ the guilty until proven innocent concept which is total bullsh*t!!!

That cop was a good guy.. he believed you.

first thing about a some (not all) drink drivers, you would probaly smell the alcohol almost straight away. You would behave differently as well.

Im sure the officer was been lazy, and was filtering out the likey drink drivers.

But i also rekon they were not interested in breather-lising you, they should be checking as many people as possible, drink driving is stupid.

I want to know more about the oficer writing stuff down...

i have been RBT'd a fiew times, one of them in castle hill the oficer walked all around my car with a notepad and was writing shit down... i have no idea what for but when i drove of my BOV went off (pretty loud) and they didn't do anything!

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
