That is what I mean, the law says if it looks like someone has been hit in a rear ender (if it was actual rear ender or someone made it look like one and you can not prove otherwise) then the person behind in the eyes of insurance is in the wrong.

No two ways about it, don't know why you posted that up for, it only confirms what I said????

Because, having initially backed the F100 guy's story, they looked into it further after my mate kicked up a stink and by examining the damage more carefully, worked out he was right and sent the F100 guy packing. My point was that the person behind isn't always 100% at fault in a rear end hit.

my mother had to pay out for some douchebag lawyer in his range rover that hit her when she was reversing out of a parking space

police deemed it to be HER FAULT as she was reversing, even though the lawyer was on the wrong side of the road.

insuance companies agreed due to her admitting to reversing

lol that is if it can be proved there was revers involved..... otherwise the guy behind is usually up shit creek even if he isn't in the wrong

can you honestly see...

taking on this?

very short answer..NO!!

I wouldnt be worried about it

Shannons has already asked a 458 Italia to install it in Melbourne, the owner of the car told them to get stuffed.

I'm not worried, but if it starts getting popular, then education not to accept these devices is the only thing we can do to try to stop insurance companies that try to make us use such devices.

Otherwise owning a track/road car will be a thing of the past. We all know most SAUers use their car at the track and drive the same registered car home, if everyone has to get a trailer and buy a car specifically for the track then Imagine the SAU memberships drop like a rock then....

Tom,

I wouldnt beleive what you hear from other people.

It wont happen.

it will cost too much for an insurer to implement, manage and monitor

Im not worried....

but then again...if you can afford a fezza....like yourself...whats the issue..?

As a condition to my European car insurance, I have been told I have to install one of these things into my cars in Austria. Apparently the one I have does not send a GPS signal unless manually activated in the cabin or during a hard accident.

It is meant to find the car if it is ever stolen and it is used if your car breaks downin the middle of nowhere and you don't know where you are, you activate it and the equivalent of the NRMA comes out to you. Or if it is activated by a car accident, the police, fire and ambos are sent to you automatically.

bit extreme.

its called fleet management. councils use it, trucking companies use it and it does pretty much what you describe but the owner of the fleet has access to it and no one else.

I used to have a the brisbane ferry fleet on remote control . I could pull those up and see what these were doing and diagnose them via PC if something went wrong.

the one you have is a alarm based tracking system. slightly different critter.

as for the idea. nothing new. I have been fitting all sorts of these things for years and some oz companies have requested them on WRXs and other high target cars for years.

so by the look of it someone has gotten a skewed view of the original idea and run with it.

its nothing new. if you want to put a spin on it then look at the USA where some cars log what happens when an accident occurs and they have the potential to pull the info out of the cars computer and use that.

food for thought.

They will all still drive, you think its a good idea that thousands of people are driving around with no insurance?

look how many people get there cars pinched just from this site that have no insurance already and whinge when they get stolen and burned out

Just a quick correction the car that is behind is always at fault unless the front car was in reverse. If you hit somebody from behind at traffic lights or braking hard then yes your at fault but if that person was in reverse gear (they don't even have to moving just gear engaged and reverse lights on) then they are at fault assuming you can prove they were in reverse which would be practically impossible, therefore you're pretty much boned.

There'ya. I just tidied that up for you.

^^^ "Black Box" means that parents may know where the car has been; but if in an accident, the insurance company might look for a clause to enable refusal of "Cover"

yep i can see it now

a subpoena for documents or records, insurance company looks through the records, ''you were doing 63kmph in a 60kmph zone 3km before the accident no cover for you'' :domokun:

but they'd say it in some lawyer talk.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
