amid concerns that hoon driving had reached epidemic proportions

My favourite bit of the article :ermm:

At the end of the day it's great if they get some bad drivers off the street, but I'd rather they targeted repeat offenders of theft, rape, murder etc :banana:

"All these cars should be banned from our streets. they are all very noisy and dangours, get waken up in the middle of the night all the time :banana: they have no respect."

I lol'd at that comment, because i have no respect :ermm: hehe

or they have been reported to us by the hoon hotline

*takes note of the plates of privately owned cop cars and calls hoon hotline to see if they get on the list*

Really, using that amount of resources to literally catch a handful of hoons is a shameful misuse of the police force. They should be focusing on other top 5 lists of thieves, assault, rapists, etc and leaving the traffic cops alone to go about their daily duty of catching out people who shouldn't be on the road LIKE THEY ALREADY DO.

Thank heavens! That article brings a breath of fresh air into this whole debate. And the wonderful people who have added their comments ... ... ... .. I can rest easy in my bed knowing that they will shortly decide whether or not we keep daylight saving in our wonderful, go-ahead State.

Hurrah for democracy. :D

``We know where they live. In a lot of instances, we know where they work and even the routes they take to get to work."

isnt that a waste of police resources and a big invasion of privacy?

I dont know about anyone else but i wouldnt be to happy if i knew cops had been following me and know which way i go to work

i dont see people complaining about dangerous drivers. always these hoon with their imports and loud exhausts. ive seen police not do anything about people going 110 on tonkin and they sat right on my ass while i was going 100 in the left lane.

i dont know why they only class imports/sports cars as hoons. sat night i was on beaufort st[think its the spelling] and a car was turning and cars were parked in the left lane so i was stopped. i kept my foot on teh brake coz i saw a car coming from the left lane moved to teh right lane. it didnt showed any sign of stopping so i moved my car abit when i saw its headlight dip from braking so hard. he ended up next to me and if i didnt move that idiot in teh excel would have rear ended me and i had my lil sister and gf in the back.

"Police have impounded 3823 vehicles since anti-hoon legislation came into effect in September 2004"

I would bet that every single 1 of these was either a modified jap import, or your typical modified holden/ford. Not 1 of them would have been the idiots who speed & cut people off in their standard shitboxes. Theyre also the 1s who sit an inch from your rear bumper, & have absolutely no hope of stopping if you jump on the breaks.

But as their car is not modified, in the eyes of the police, they couldnt possibly be classified a "hoon". No matter how many times they get done for speeding, they dont get listed as serial offending hoons. They simply got caught again. Why not do us all a favour & impound their shitboxes so that we dont have to worry about their crazy shitboxes running into us when we're cruising to work??

http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/saf..._Stats_2007.pdf

this is the annual stats.....

more then 50% of deaths are 26-59 yrs of age for 2007 ie 434/796 but yet they say it is young people (17-25 yrs) which is less then half of this only 200 people....

so who is the real problem and this is their stats what is published....

there is also more deaths in both male and female of age group 40-59 and 26-39 then there is 17-25 also proven in this same document..... so once again who is the real hoon issue??

maybe these real stats should be published hey :huh:

just my 10 cents and i could still come up with a lot more :huh:

I wish they would post all stats to really wake up the population....

A couple of things:

1: Remember, it is always someone elses fault or atleast there is someone doing something worse than you.

So don't feel any need to take responsibility for your own actions. Just point out something someone else is doing wrong. Got caught doing something stupid on the road? Easy just point out someone else speeding. Got a yellow sticker? Point at someone elses unroadworthy car. Remember kiddies your wrong doing is always diminished by someone elses. (If anyone missed it that was sarcasm...)

2: Cops need to dose up on more testosterone.

"Certainly, apprehending hoons ad hoc is wonderful..." These are the same police who regularly confess they have no real idea how to reduce the road toll. This sort of stupidity is what happens when a public nuisance offense is dressed up as a road safety issue.

I don't think tailgaiting is classed as driving like a hoon.

ROAD TRAFFIC ACT 1974 - SECT 78A

circumstances of aggravation means circumstances in which —

(a) the vehicle is being used to race another vehicle;

(b) the vehicle is being used in an attempt to establish or break a speed record;

(c ) the speed, or the acceleration, braking or steering capability, of the vehicle is being tested or contested in any way;

(d) the skill of the vehicle’s driver is being tested or contested in any way;

(e) the vehicle is driven in a manner that causes smoke to come from one or more of the vehicle’s tyres or a substance on the driving surface; or

(f) the vehicle is driven in a manner that causes one or more of the vehicle’s driving wheels to lose traction with the driving surface;

haha. thats so widely open to interpretation its a joke. how would ya be if you got hoon lawed for trying to break 80km/h on the freeway in a 120y for the first time in history

Im slowly trying to educate my brother on this as he is a police officer, he got a 50 year old lady for DUI, and yellow stickered numerous hyundais.

Nice one :) , also tell him to keep an eye out for soccer mums who cuts everyone off in their oversized 4WDs. :)

    • 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.
