Driver charged after SA Police graduation burn-outs

A STAGGERINGLY stupid hoon decided the best place to do a burn-out was outside the Police Academy during a graduation ceremony - he was wrong.

A police officer on his way to yesterday's graduation ceremony at Fort Largs saw a car doing a burnout on Military Rd about 10.30am. He pulled the driver over and cautioned him.

A short time later, during the graduation ceremony, which was attended by most of SA Police's highest ranking officers, the man was seen doing another burn-out outside.

A patrol was sent to the man's address at North Haven, where he was charged with misuse of a motor vehicle. His car was defected and impounded for seven days and, as an added bonus for police, he was also charged with cultivating three cannabis plants.

Actually i misread the article initially thinking it was one of the cadets doing the burnouts ... so you can ignore my "oh the irony" comment. What a fool this dude is.

Lol that's a classic!!

Amazing he only got cautioned the first time for ripping skids, though.

if it was a import it would have been impounded straight away

      Yea I also was under this impression from various sources, but I figured it applied only to high speed I/O. I was not expecting any impact on such a slow input. Haltech should have an official statement of limitations or comm rates for these.

      I get that impression already from various youtube vids whenever the I/O expanders are discussed. MCM, for example.

      According to @acsplit apparently the forum is being migrated from one server to another so should be back up and running once the migration is done.

      I thought I would share a few fun facts about Haltech products that I've learnt with their use that they don't share on their website. Haltech GPS speed - Extremely slow to react. It's fine for puttering around but I have no idea what speed I'm driving when in WOT due to the slow response time. This was always going to be temporary as I need mechanical wheel speed for eventual torque management, but it has just been bumped up a priority or two as it's a nuisance.  Haltech I/O Expander - You often hear the response time is slow due to canbus comms, but I could not find concrete evidence and Haltech makes no mention of it. We'll now I have it. I mentioned in an earlier post that I thought my WMI mechanical pressure switch was causing a delayed response from my AEM WMI Controller to my ECU. My WMI begins to operate at 11psi, but my ECU was only getting an "On" signal around 19psi. After removing the pressure switch, there was no change. Luckily I connected my WMI Controller directly to the ECU the morning of my Dyno tune and there was a large improvement. I get the "On" signal around 13-14psi now. These remote IO boxes should be marketed for only non-critical I/O.
