Caught person doing 140-160+ in 80 Zone who also went more than double the alcohol limit. The Drink driving ban is canceled out by the speeding ban. Impound, 1100 in fines and no driving for 12 months.

Lucky for him he didn't kill anyone. I'm glad I was doing laser duties when things were quiet and now have him off the road!

He wants to contest it saying his Honda Jazz doesn't go that fast.

you boys should be allowed to legally tazer the shit outta them LOL.. maybe this will teach them not to drink and drive.. anyone who repeats drink driving or is double the limit should automatically have the alcohol breathalizer installed to start their cars..

If the speeding fine overrides the alcohol.. Does that mean if he gets off (by chance) that he can't be charged with the alcohol? And LOL as if a Jazz can't go 140...

The speeding doesn't over ride the alcohol as such but when you lose it for 12 months for speeding the 11 month suspension for the alcohol becomes irrelevant. Should be served one after the other not concurrently but what can you do. I guess they don't expect to have people drink driving and speeding to such an extent.

I agree, should also be the same for jail sentences, sick of f**kers being found guilty for 6 or 7 offences but only doing a few months because thats what the longest sentence is, in reallity, if someone knows there going to jail for 12 months why dont they go on a crime spree, there not going to get a longer sentence.

i was thinking of mr eps lol

oh some of the posts in here remind me of rants to the Herald Sun. Given that most of you don't know anything regarding the context of the offences (apart from Graeme), perhaps you shouldn't be so quick to condemn?

TBQH I'd rather get done for drink driving than speeding, everyone I know who has gotten done has gotten off a LOT lighter with suspensions / fines, apart from the whole interlock thing.

So...you're saying he probably had a good excuse to be doing 60-80km/h over the speed limit while drunk? Well forgive us for assuming he was a baddie! Obvious devil's advocate troll is obvious.

no trolling brah, i'm just saying that you've been given some facts without context at all, and the usual white knight types give the usual reaction along the lines of "BURN THE WITCH1!!!!!!1!!!!"

if it was a member on here who had been done for an accidental clutch slip / wheelspin / impoundment, you'd all be up in arms, so I'm just pointing out the obvious here :P

speaking of 'obvious', it's quite obvious a little clutch slip does not lead to you being propelled to 60-80km/h over the speed limit nor does it put enough alcohol in your blood to send you over 0.05. Being over the legal blood-alcohol limit and while doing 60-80km/h over the speed limit are not little split second mistakes as your clutch example so the comparison does not work hence people probably would stick up for that person where this is complete disreguard for everyone including the driver themselves.

maybe it was boz in the car.. and he was travelling with one of his gf's.. and he knows that with his gf in the car.. there is no way power to weight ratio can get that Jazz up to 140..

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
