Lol, I thought it was your job to watch your own speed, as you ARE the driver? I think if you are old enough to drive, you should be old enough to take the responsibility of your actions :P

Cmon give him a break, 5ks?

So I ever see you driving 5ks over the limit i will call you irresponsible too?

I'd put in under my oldies too, they're pretty strict when you're on your Ls

I wouldn't risk saying it was you........

The writing a letter and getting a warning only works if you've had 3 full years driving history with a clean record and it's your first fine, and that doesn't include the learner period. P's or full licence only...

Well, my folks are paying it because they are they driver really, they should be watching the speed for me and advising me not to speed

This infuriates me.

I didn't call him irresponsible for speeding, but I said since he WAS driving, he should take the consequences of his own actions.

When I do get done for speeding, I cop it on the chin and learn from it, that's how you'd learn. You do the crime, you do the time.

Simple as that.

Having your L's is the same as on your P's, you can't get more than 5 points in a period of 12 months.

5k's over = 1 point, and like $140 fine.

$146 ain't a huge sum to pay, but the points.. ooooh..

then again, i have better things to do with $146, but i'm sure you've seen the thread about them clamping the cars of people who don't pay up. So, you'd better pay.

But i'm sure if it was a speed camera, they snap the picture, and the fine goes straight to the registered owner of the car, correct me if i'm wrong.

That's correct. Also I don't think it really matters if your L plates were up or not, you can just say that your parents paid for it without requesting for a photo, so they didn't know that your L plates was up and you were driving. But then again, do they even check?

But funny thing is, SAU doesn't condone illegal things and isn't this illegal? :)

Mate, you should have your eyes pinned to the speedo, so should your parents. I dunno who is worse. I know that when I was on my L's if I was speeding or doing anything wrong I knew about it straight away. The whole point on learning to drive is learning how to drive properly - this INCLUDES not speeding. I mean fark, a ticket on your L's, what will your P's and full licence going to bring?

Yes, people make mistakes but if you do happen to then man up and cop it on the chin, don't be a child. If you cop it sweet and learn then you've done the right thing and FFS, pay the fine yourself.

/end rant :laugh:

While i was on my learners the moment i managed like 3k or whatever over my dad would make this really annoying disapproving noise...soon taught me to watch my speedo a bit more often so as to avoid it cuz it got on my nerves lol. I got my first ticket a year or 2 into my Ps...10km over...car was in my dads name so the fine was sent to him (camera fine) and i legitimately thought it was a 110 zone not 100 so it was an honest mistake...but after umming and ahhing over whether i should take the point until it was too late, my dad took the point and i paid the fine...with P plates up and he wasnt also fined or anything. Just to answer the question from earlier...about Ls and P plates for a full licensed driver generating another fine. I was prepared to take the point, parents chose to instead however.

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
