Sorry but I'm on the side of the police there. If your vision is marked as being bad enough to require glasses, then not wearing them is silly and not safe!

Agree, I have that condition as well, and I refuse to drive unless I'm wearing my glasses/contacts (because I like to see what's going on far ahead of me instead of 2m).

It's a bit harsh mate, but rules are rules.

When you're on your L's, they can't really book you for anything hence why you could get away with a lot of stuff.

Ive been pulled over by a large woman with a shaved head and no bra, at least it didnt look like she was wearing one. There was no way any politeness or honesty was going to get me out of this one, I was lucky I wasn't eaten. Mind you, she was trying to book me for going through an orange light, to which I contested in court and won.

I wonder if the 'stupid cop stuff' thread is still floating around the wasteland. All sorts of fun stuff in there.

got pulled over last friday, cops spotted me from around a bend leaving the school i work at, raced up a back alley that leads to the same main road i was headed too, waited in the street parallel to me to see where i put my blinkers, then pounced (i was aware of all of this at the time and was just waiting for it), got pulled over, guy comes up to the car with his partner on the other side, have a quick look at the front of the car and says "hey mate, sorry we thought you didn't have a number plate at the front but its obviously their" (my numberplate is at the bottom angled (defect btw) ... he done the regular breath test thing and then best of all i didn't have my licence on me he asked if id had any dramas with the popo, i said no, he said he would give me the benefit of the doubt... he asked why i was hanging around outside the school and i told him i worked their and that was that, he left with a friendly smile and a wave...

now i hate to be a ball breaker but during all of this :

my car exaust was going hard out gurgling, car was too low, he sore the frontmount at the front, they herd the bov when i was driving, they checked out the leather interior and my subway handles on the hand rails, they could see all my pilar and dash gauges, shiftlight, safc, boost controller, e-brake drift button, turbotimer, numberplate off angle not to mention i looked like a drug dealer with my shaved head, earings and dolce sunnies on :rofl2:

don't know how some of you guys must be communicating to these guys (and don't get me wrong i know i got a good guy and their are some real power trippers out their) but maybe a attitute change is needed by some people?

Off-topic Joel, but what's your job at the school? You got off pretty well I'll say :rofl2:

Got RBT'ed last Friday night in 2 different locations. Was tested with no questions asked, but they were just staring like hawks as I took off lol

hey owens, yea definitely got off easy but i think they understood i wasn't a hoon and i think their reasoning for pulling me over was fairly valid :rofl2:

im a Network Admin at the school :rofl2: just some solid industry placement while i finish off uni :laugh:

Ha, I'm also a network admin at a highschool down here in Wollongong :P

What school do you work at down here?

High School I used to go to, my mate and I used to be the network admin team! Network went to shit when we left and they had to employ someone... LOL

Does your school ever buy IT stuff locally? I know the school I was at (About 5/6 years ago now) did.

haha, yeah not many schools can survive without someone there constantly and has knowledge of maintaining a network. I work at Albion Park high.

We buy alot of IT stuff through DET contracts and online websites like Megabuy because they have a wider selection and pretty cheap too.

Bought stuff locally a few times in the past but found them to be slow/expensive/limited to specific things we need.

    • 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"
