Depends if the hoon offence is attached to your car or your licence...I'm guessing the licence, or people would just sell the car after two strikes...

If that's true then on the 4th strike you'll probably lose your second car and be looking at some serious licence suspension time / fines or maybe jail?

hahaha way to encourage more cop chases, third strike, well you know the cars going to be crushed, you're going to be f**ked anyway, so who cares!?

nice to see VicPol being reactive instead of proactive lol

reason why i ask is..if your on 2 strikes..you can just buy a shitty car, rip a burnout in front of the cop get that crushed..then it resets..

but birds is probably right on that..but would like someone to confirm.

p.s..im already an f1 driver bluejeans

impounds don't reset. they stay on your record for 3 years (at the moment but might increase).

if you get your 3rd impounded, you will be going to court and you will likely lose your license for at least a year but probably more. so, it really wouldn't matter if the shit car is crushed because you wouldn't be able to drive for ages.

dont forget, the first 2 offenses would have seen a long loss of license as well. the only way to reduce your strikes is to wait the 3 years.

pritty much gives those guys that drive like hoons to buy a 3 grand P.O.S car and go nuts. and these cars are alot worse to be crashing in. and if you lose ur car who cares. un reg'd 3k 180sx for the crusher (FTC) lol

Awesome, more fancy crap, won't change nothing....if anything, making it worse. They focus far too much on revenue and this shit but the road toll is breaking records for being higher than ever....

Might want to check the actual statistics :nyaanyaa:

prediction is people that get there cars impounded will just get a family member or a mate to buy it back if it doesnt get crushed... Or if you saw u got flashed doing more the 45km/h, you will have around 28days before the cops knock on your door to pick it up so you might just sell it and say you had no idea... So many dodgy ways to get around...

But, If this makes it to victoria

you wont even see a flash... and if they claim this is to make roads safer, someone shoot me...

Application of the hoon laws is another example of flawed policy by both govt and police who designed the laws. It once again shows that when it comes to human resources, the govt and govt departments really do scrape the barrel in terms of the quality of talent they attract.

O.k. I get it, they want to take away what hoons regard as their most treasured asset - their car... i get it, but in just 5 minutes I can think up of a better plan/strategy/law than they thought up after however many months this was in the planning for.

1) Why are hoon laws fundamentally flawed?

- Bascially because they are a form of uncapped in effect mandatory penalty imposed on lawbreakers that in many cases will be a punishment whose severity far outweighs the original crime.

- Imagine a very real scanario where an individual driving a vehicle valused at approx. $50K on his 2nd impound strike has just been observed commitiing a hoon offence and is being hailed to pull over by a police officer. Given the likely punishment for this offence will be at least $50K for the offender, there is a very real and likely scenario that the offender will attempt to outrun the police - at pretty much any cost to both his own and the public's safety. Given that we know there are people in our society who will commit much more serious offences for much less than $50K of monetry gain, (armed robbery, contract killings, etc) the prospect of dangerous police pursuits is very real.

2) What the hoon laws should look like if they were to designed properly:

- On the 3rd strike, the offender will have to face court on answer to charges. If found guilty, the Judge, after taking into account the severity of the offence as well as the offenders priors, will impose a fine/penalty that is fitting.

- As part of this penalty, under the 3rd strike, the police force is to take ownership of the offenders vehicle and the vehicle is to be sold at auction regardless of its condition. The proceeds of this auction is to be used to pay the fines imposed by the court. Any moneys left over is to be returned to the offender. Any shortfall is to be paid by the offender.

I personally find what they are currently doing unconstitutional. We have courts for a reason. Judges are the qualified individuals to impose penalties on offenders. Under my system this would happen. Under the current system, there is floor to what the penalty is that discrimates against people with higher value cars.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
