As of july 1st there are some new finable offences and massive fine increases. Some interesting ones I thought I would inform you of are below.

It's now an offence to smoke in car with a person under 18 present. $239. I would expect a lot of these could/would be issued and a lot of unhappy smokers.

Another interesting one is Offensive behaviour by a person in a motor vehilce (only in St kilda) $119

Drunk in public place is has gone up to a massive fine of $478, offensive behaviour is now $478 also. Big night out could become very expensive if you don't behave.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have an operation "quit" campain to target driver's smoking in above circumstances.

wow.. thanks again graeme. i went out last night and i noticed last night a massive Drug test setup and lots of NOU's near toorak rd/ chapel st. a commodore gets pulled over and defected and a skyline gets let through! whats the odds? lol

never seen so many cops out on a wednesday night

This makes me wish I was under 18. I hate it when people smoke while I'm in their car.

You shouldn't smoke in your car without consent of all passengers anyway. That's just common courtesy.

All those laws are harmless though. Just don't be an idiot. Plus less time spent smoking means less cancer anyway :D

Even if these are revenue raisers atleast they are out there for a better purpose than vehicles and their modifications. In particular I like the drunk and offensive behaviour in public fines. Hopefully alot of these get handed out to trouble makers. Also smoking in a car under 18 is probably a good one.

About f**king time. It should be illegal to smoke in a car FULL STOP. You can't eat, talk on a phone, sms, read, drink so WHY can you smoke.

ummm you can eat and drink in a car? I smoke in cars, tbqh it's no more distracting than adjusting the volume on your stereo, perhaps they should ban those too? (goes hand in hand with then offensive use of a motor vehicle thing LOL)

Yeah not sure, perhaps Graeme can clarify. I think it falls under effectively controlling the vehicle.

What I meant was, it takes 2 seconds to adjust the volume where as smoking you've got something in your hand the whole time, you have to find it, light it, smoke it then butt it. Not a 2 second job.

Smokers will disagree but shit hey!

passive smoking is filthy sh*t lol

Agreed.

I wish they'd make a public smoking ban already. I'm sick of gagging when walking down the street or into shopping centres. Children/babies have to breathe that in too!

Until they provide smoking areas that are 'undercover' as well, I'd have to disagree with that one. - us smokers are people too :) It's bad enough as it is that we can't even stand under a covered area regardless of how high the ceiling is :D

There was that guy who got a fine for eating a Mars bar i think last year?

Great laws, smoking in cars should be banned i reckon. Sick of people asking me "can i have a smoke" while i am driving, i say no and they beg and beg till i can't be bothered putting up a fight. Ban ban ban! (Sorry if you read this Carlo and Fatty) <3

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
