Hi i recently drove from adelaide to geelong and today i got a sppeding fine for 104kmph in a 100 zone somewhere just in the vic border, normally in SA there is about a 10% allowance, but 4k over in a 100 zone is just stupid.

Just trying to find out from you victorians if this is the norm over there, also do you know what the fine and demerit point loss would be as the vechile was registed in a company name and at the moment they just wont the driver nominated, cheers Clint

welcome to Brack's Victoria where Safety is paramount! Now you know why there are now 100,000 Victorians suddenly 1 fine away from losing their licence (me included). In the last 12 months I have had 4 fines from speeding <10% over the limit.

The fine will be $110 I think and you HAVE to nominate a driver. You have a few months to do this or else the fine will double until a driver is nominated! (I drive a company car so I tried to avoid nominating myself once!)

you psycho.. 104 in a 100 zone - what do you think you are doing? you could have killed 50 people there...

100,000 close to losing their license? where did you get that from? well i am one of them ;)

I have always wondered the impact of all of this over the longer term. 3 years to keep 12 points in this current system is just ridiculous. Even old ladies will be losing their license eventually.

What happens to the productivity of the state when people can't drive to work, guess they can't pay all those toll roads or massive petrol excises either?

This is the reason I take the train to work now. If I'm going to have money stolen from me, I'm at least going to have it done while having fun, not while paying some dumbass toll while sitting in some queue for 30mins avg speed of 10k then get busted for doing 62 in 60 zone.

The government, in their money-grabbing wisdom (sorry, safety-oriented wisdom), decreed that it you would now only be permitted a 3% or 3kph (whichever was the greater) variance in the speed before being pinged and forced to make a contribution to the state's consolidated revenue.

and even then the $206M surplus is largely due to an unexpected increase in state stamp duty. Soon as the housing boom ends, goodbye Victoria.

Oh yer...

Meanwhile, Premier Steve Bracks was forced to defend the 33.7 per cent jump in revenue from speeding tickets, traffic infringements and other fees and fines to $567.7 million in 2002-03. The revenue was a significant contributor to the budget bottom line

3kmph i doubt half the speedos in old cars would be that accurate, another good reason to live in SA.

If you dont nominate the driver the fine is $600 plus the normal fine, so add another $110 or whateve it is. Anyone know the demerit points lost?, cheers Clint

Even new cars are built with a 10% tollerance inaccuracy in their speedo, but facts dont matter to the bracks government!!

Bracks needs everyone of those speed cameras rammed up his ass sideways!!

Well thank you Brack$, I hope you never ever get re-elected and perhaps you'll die from STD. And I'll just sell my car and move home.

Seriously this is the most ridiculous the whole speed camera revenue raising episode has climbed to.

from the same edition

AN elderly woman died yesterday when her car veered off the road, hit a fence and rolled on to its side in Melbourne's northern suburbs.
Bloody car, must have a mind of its own- to veer off the road by itself :(

if it was a camera, then you dont have to nominate the driver, but you have to pay the 'corporate' fine... something like 3x the norm... so its not really worth it unless your a) rich or B) right at the end of your points.

Huh? What do you mean? I've ben snapped in a work car and in my own car and the fines and points are the same in both situations.

It's called TAX...this has nothing at all to do with road-safety and is liable to cause more accidents than it prevents.

You add this to your PAYE, PAYG, GST, Stamp duty (houses and cars), fuel excise, car rego, city link tolls, parking meters, parking fines etc etc etc and you try to live on what you have left and hope there is enough left over to fix the damage done to your car by stones and bad roads cos "they" aint responsible (the only good road in the state is city-link) and we must all be terrible drivers otherwise they wouldn't need the cameras...right? When u think that everything you do costs money and a tax of some sort, where the hell does the money go ?!?! Why can't they put some back into driver education so that we are all actually safer?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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"
