Lol Jeremy. You complain too much! Consent from passengers? WTF. It's my car. If you don't like it. There's a footpath on the side of the road. Simple as that :blink:

Amen. Driver decides when to leave. Driver decides whether he or passengers can smoke.

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.

fines fines fines, we need more fines.

I think some of these are taking it a bit far. Offensive behaviour in a motor vehicle thats ridiculous you cant book everyone who gives someone the finger after someone cutting them up. I like the idea of banning smoking in cars with minors in them, but to be completely fair to smokers if its legal you should be able to smoke where ever the hell you want. You cant say to a person here buy a packet of cigarettes for $15 most of which is taxes and you can only smoke them outside your own house when none of your kids are around. The government should either STFU about smoking or make it illegal one thing or the other, not this in between bullshit which demonises smokers for being addicted to a government sanctioned substance.

Just for the record i'm not a smoker, but they are people too.

Alright, well next time you're in my car, without your consent I'll let off a stink bomb and make you breathe it in and have your clothes stinking of it :sick:

im actually happy with these new fines, especially the no smoking one..my gf's cousin is 16 and fkn smokes in her mums car when im in it and i fkn hate it...so i pray she cops a nice fine.

whats the law on this since if i read right its the minor who is smoking? i know under 18s cant buy smokes but its not illegal for them to smoke should they happen to stumble across a packet?

I reckon the smoking law is stupid, when I was 18, i was the 1st of my freinds to get my P's and we used to all smoke in the car together. (I was 18 andd some of them were 17 at the time). Seems kinda stupid that a 17yr old can legally smoke if they want to but u cant smoke if there are in the car?!?! Also if a 17 yr old is smoking in the car when every1 else is 18+ do they get a fine for exposing themselves to 1st hand smoking??!?!?

Stupid law, it shoulb be for persons under the age of 16 - in line with the age that it is illegal to smoke.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
