Small/handheld breath testers are not exactly accurate... they can test you 5 times and get 5 different readings.... does that mean you get done on the average? The breath test is so they can take you off the road to use a more sensitive breath tester or blood test.

Simon is right and the ones which are used by the coppers are re calibrated regularly where as you cant re calibrate those small hand held ones, some allow you to replace the actual sensor but it becomes expensive

Maybe for what *you* pay...not for what *I* pay though :happy:

ooohh what do you pay? either way i'd prefer a glenfiditch glenfarqs (sp?) etc, i much prefer a single malt, actually tried some really good ones at the food and wine festival on sunday.

but yes a 0.00 blood alchahol limit won't have any significant, if noticable at all effect on the road toll, so why do it?

They have to do a second reading (some time later - 15 mins or half an hour or something),

Im pretty sure this used to be true, but unfortunently I dont think it is a requirement anymore, its purely at the officers discrestion.

Because when a mate was pulled over on paradise rd Slightly over, (2 beers at dinner?), when I asked the officer about this, this is what he said basically. Some clarification of that law would be good. anyone?

Stats are taken if someone is in an accident and have a reading of alcohol in theri blood that it is alcohol related even though it might not have been their fault or could have been a passenger. The state uses these lame stats to claim tougher pe

daaaale broooo

yeh totally agree with ya there, how u been? hahaha to be honest im still worried bout the swab tests that they were meant to be implementing...dam listerine mouth washes start to taste like shit after a while :)

i laughed when i saw this one the news though, kinda gay but what can u do i guess....cops are cops

wasnt the 2 beers that attracted the coppers bud, may have been that freakin loud HKS turbo with ur screamer going off hahahaha pm me dude

and drink responsibly to everyone else :banana:

it'll never happen, but i'm in support. i've always found it strange that we're allowed to pilot tonnes of metal, with ANY level of a known and freely available sensory inhibitor in our bloodstream.

Agree.

I support lowering the blood alcohol limit to 0. Or maybe 0.02

I am already drunk at 0.05

Well instead of supporting the rediculous change, maybe you should just not drink if planning on driving, son of rajab Cadbury :D

I'm not a bogan, I don't drink. I only know I am drunk @ 0.05 from my 16-18yr old period :D

f**k that

so because Im on 24/7 morphine slow release patches for insane pain that then means I shouldnt have a license?

^

no different to having a beer with dinner.

No I dont drink (now) seeing Im on morphine, but to stop everyone from enjoying a drink responsibly is called Prohibition.

and yrs of human society have proved that Prohibition does not work, can not work, and never will work

One mans drug is another mans pleasure

I mean, how can there be a law banning marijuana, for example? Its a natural plant, such bullshit

at the end of the day I make my own laws. One and only - do unto others as youd have them do unto you.

its kept me outa trouble for my life and will continue to do so

if I feel like going 300kmph on a motorbike or 220kmph in the stagea in the hills then thats my choice, my responsibility

if i feel like a beer with dinner thats my choice, my responsibility

if i feel like a bong then a hills drive again thats my choice.

they can make laws but if everyone refuses to obey it isnt much of a law then, is it?

and they cant jail everyone. . . .

make your own choices people. just be responsible for your actions.

.00 bac will not happen, society would say a big "f**k you" to the laws and disregard them.

Your choices have consequences for others.

When driving I don'texpect someone to be coming at me at 300kph, or even 220kph. If I cross into the other lane, legally, and you're travelling that fast we will have a head on collision. We will both die.

You don't follow your own law, you do what you want with no regard for those around you.

We live in a society where a person acts with no regard to anyone but themselves. A world where people elect to fullfill their selfish desires without a thought to anyone else. I don'treally expect any better, when you have expectations then society can disappoint you.

ETA: And yes, if your morphine impairs your judgement then your licence should be revoked.

I agree, for the time that you are on it, then once you are cleared then you can get back on the road ! :D

N.O.T - It is the same if you need glasses to drive & you don't ... ! :)

These sort of 'Arguments' 'Debates' are really each to their own, everyone has an opnion on it, Someone that has gotten away with it/does it every weekend will have a different opinion to someone that has never done it or someone that has lost loved once due to drink driving/drug driving etc! ...

If you drink and drive, kill a random motorist, not only are you going to jail for manslaughter, you get to have the guilt for the rest of your life, was it worth that last drink then heading home? Or that $40 instead of getting a cab?

Yeah sometimes you might be lucky and get to your destination, thank yourself lucky f**khead !

This has probably been said a few times in the topic but meh, lol ... My opinion is as good as yours :P

f**k that

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
