gave me a damm good talking to when he pulled me over, no ticket though, lucky .....

All the while staring at your boobs I'm sure....

I'll bet a guy would have been fined...

Prob lol, nothing against them though, just this specific one.

Most are usualy pretty freindly.

Traffic cops aren't friendly

Most of them would trample their own mother en route to their next ticket..

Why is everyone assuming there is heavy traffic? My impression when I read the first post was the road was more or less empty:

Saw no one with all those mirror and sholder checks? Road can't have been that busy. Where was the cop bike during all this I wonder?

I beg to differ:

This is called "Doing it wrong".

That's not the impression I got from reading what he wrote, but I wasn't there so I don't know.

It's a perfectly sensible law, it's the people implementing it that are the issue...

When merging onto a highway that is flowing there is ALWAYS gaps, it's just a matter of finding one and fitting in. If someone is not courteous and doens't let you in, you go behind them. This might mean you have to slow down a bit to find the gap, but you should be back at the same speed when you slot into it. It's not rocket science.

I've never had any issues merging into a highway/etc that is flowing. Obviously if it's heavy traffic and the highway is not flowing (usually due to people failing to merge properly when it was) then obviously it is a completely different scenario. Technically, the guys on the highway that you are merging into don't have to let you in at all, but most people will start going 1-for-1 from each lane that is merging.

Truth.

If you read my replies I explained that most of the time when people in the merge lane have to slow down they end up stopping which is what I meant talking about giving way.

It's funny but I think the statistics would be even greater of people that treat a stop sign or line as a give way.

Anyway, I was just commenting that it would help out a lot on the roads if more people were courteous,

but nope, I'm wrong, totally wrong.

This debate is pointless, it's like arguing with a girlfriend..... they're always "right" :D

i say take them to court hey. waste their time and get a few adjurnments to extend your licence for a while. at the end of it all they say bad luck buddy shouldnt have done the wrong thing then by then u will probs have your points back. lol. NO COMMENTS EITHER MARTIN your just gay. hahahaha.

Hope you don't mind if I pop in on this one...

Looking at the maps posted on the first page... ...there's a solid lane line... ...followed by the normal lane markers... ...and then some shorter "quicker" lane markers as the left lane ends...

In Victoria, these shorter markings a not "give way" markings... ...they are lane "ending"/"starting" markings... ...and follow the same rules as freeway on and off ramps... ...some will even signal a new left lane 300m before a light controlled intercetion... ...only for that lane to then be forced back on the other side of the intercetion... ...really annoying...

When using these lanes the "zipper" rule aplies... ...and if you were indicating along the solid line... ...and matching speed... ...and you hadn't changed lanes ovar the normal lane markers... ...you would be forced over by the time you get to the short markers... ...and the car to your right... ...if behind you or becide you but not ahead of you... ...would have to slow to let you in... ...but many people fail to let you in... ...because of the give way to the right rule... ...which they think means you have to let them go even when the lane you're in is ending...

From the look of the maps... ...and if the cop was as far back as you say he was... ...with the light change... ...I feel you shouldn't have been fined...

well, that settles it then. he just needs to print this off, take it to the local cop shop and they will cancell the fine, and also throw him in a free lap dance, as a way of apologizing for the trouble.

and what the fuck is up with your punctuation?

well i hope they r reading this then. BUNCH OF f**kING FAGOTS.

^ = pot and kettle

The long and short of it all really is simple:

Learn the god damn road rules and follow them. If you don't, then don't piss and moan like a little bitch when you get caught out.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
