Purely on the issue of XS speed...

It's now possible that as of March, excessive speed to the tune of...

a) 1-10Km/Hr over the limit = loss of 1 point

b) 11-30Km/Hr over the limit = loss of 2 points

c) 31-45Km/Hr over the limit = loss of 3 points

d) >46Km/Hr over the limit = ???

These spectra/penalties are being discussed at present...

they should do it,,,,, loosing 3 demerit points for anything under 30 is rediculous but if your doing over 30+ its only an extra 1 demerit point......

also the fines are stupid, under 10km/h should be a small fine and small demerit loss, 9 times out of 10 your not intentionally speeding.... but there should be some sort of punnishment to remind motorists.

anything from 30+ really should be a heavy fine and a heavy demerit loss (which it already is)... but on todays system if your weighing up the odds of speeding and getting caught, i'd be going as fast as i can since the Under 15km/h is already too harsh, alittle more cash and a slightly worse demerit record doesnt really bother anyone if the lesser penalty is nearly as bad as the worse penalty (except for some instances of suspension)...

the current system is a fail, it encourages speeders to speed more coz they know the 3 demerit point loss of under 15km/h isnt much different from 4 demerrit point loss of 45km/hr+++++

Don't forget that it's already an automatic license suspension for anything 30+km/h over the speed limit, isn't it?

What they should be doing (and people will keep discussing this, but it will probably never happen, which is even more frustrating) is

  • teaching people to KEEP LEFT on major freeways if they're not bloody well overtaking
  • RAISE the speed limits in areas where the road and conditions are appropriate
  • crack down on speeding during school zone times (I FULLY support this, my mind set is "imagine that was my kid/niece/nephew who almost got run over")
  • making people more alert to what's going on around them, not just in that road space directly in front of their own car

In my mind, COMMON COURTESY would go a long way to changing people's attitudes on the roads.

As for catching people 1-10km/h over and fining them for that, I'm sure Mark (mlr) and I won't be the only people to debate the fact that this would go against the Federal ADRs stating that there's a 10% margin for error on speedometers on all new cars, so how could a driver possibly know that they are travelling at EXACTLY 60km/h in a 60 zone? And for that matter, shouldn't they be more focussed on the environment around their moving car than that little bunch of numbers on the dashboard?

I could go on forever, and I know plenty of you all will also have some good suggestions here too.

yeah some really good points there,

And if I may add people needing to be educated on how to properly merge onto Motorways/freeways. The common Sydney trend being to cruise down that ramp doing 60kmh when the speed sign early on the ramp says 100kmh.Then getting to the merging point and braking because cars are coming up on them so fast. Meanwhile a traffic jam behind starts to build as all who approach that motorway ramp have to slow down to 60 for said morons

The Roads Minister Michael Daley was on Nova this morning, saying that he was going to keep his promise of trying to get the points reduced for minor speeding offenses. Would like this politician to keep his promise as the demerit points for the minor speeding offense are ridiculous.

I completely agree GTR-32U. That is one of my pet hates of the stupid things people do on the road. Some people definately need education in this department.

I was driving to Tamworth on the F3 once and a person in a falcon did this to me right in front of a HWP cop who was behind me trying to clock my speed. The cop nearly ran up my arse as i braked for the idiot. The cop instantly gave up on me and pulled over and reversed back and busted the idiot in the falcon. Was good to see :(

Yep, I, too agree on this!

this is really great news for us road commuters...

but then again...

im guessing this will make people be more inclined to speed....since there is less damage to your points...

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm intresting to see what the public says..

It annoys me when the police sit on hwys and other areas that are safe for the higher posted speeds but where are they in the suburbs, my local area is 50kph zone which is fair because of all the kids around, blind corners and round-abouts, but idiots cruise around doing 80 kph or more, drifting around round-abouts and generaly being dicks, but not a cop to be seen.

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.

      Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.

      They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox) They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox)
