ok i went 2 cop stn this arvo. they said i cant write a letter of everything that happened and put a copy of the fine with it. send it to this place, they'll review it, put it on hold and see where it goes from there. if they see i wasnt in the wrong im all good if not i can go 2 court. when i told him i had only just been over speed bump and not even 20m later i get pulled over for doin 72km in 50 zone he looked surprised. then when i said that the cop was tailgatin me he said oh definatly put this letter in. so fingers crossed

basically say you were trying to evade a tailgater and get out of their way or out of fear. I've been advised of ppl being followed for the purpose of stealing their car so it's not such a far fetched idea that this happens.

They ask you about the previous few years when first getting the policy but not after that, nothing mentioned in the policy handbook anyway.

Pretty sure they say that YOU have to make them aware of any further infringements, the onus is on YOU to make sure THEY are aware of your driving record. Maybe it only applies for serious offences.

as u suggested its usually only meant for accidents that were ur fault or loss of licence etc etc.

not for getting dermit points... for example going 12kmh over the limit and getting 1 dermit point.

TBH I don't really care, but I think before any of you take anything for granted, you should call your insurance company and find out.

I was only stating what *I* was told in an effort to stop anyone getting taken for a ride by an insurance company trying to weasel out of a claim.

generally when they try to weasel out of a claim of say 4-6k just keep bugging them about it and say youll take it to court. Generally it's cheaper for the insurance company just to pay you out, I know this firsthand and if you'd like anything answered by someone who works in the industry you can pm me. (I don't work in the industry, someone close to me does and isnt just a ground level chump either)

you can say you had to spped up to avoid having an accident, this does work in some cases ie passing a red light because person behind you was sticking wright to your bumper. all you have to do is explain the cop was travelling dangerously close to your car (not slowing down for speed bumps) so you tryed to avoid the dangours driver as he was to close for you to attempt to pull over and let him pass. the wost that can happen is you still get your fine but if the cop does this several times evetually court will have to let people off.

one of the best things we could do as a motor enthusiast group is to keep a forum open to names and action of dangour cop driving and thing they do to unlawfuly to take are point eventully if someone name comes up a few times it can be used as evidence and i know this has been done to cops who pick on groups of people.

p.s what a f**kign wanker

I somewhat doubt that "I had to SPEED up to AVOID an accident" would hold up in court very well, but I very well could be wrong never been a situation like this.

Anyway how did this situtation go, get a court summon yet and what not?

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
