Something is wrong with our system.

Hmm - while he was a bit silly for not getting the DPI to state in writing that he was allowed to get his license back, there are govt f*k ups that work in our favour. Unfortunately for him it did a backflip and caught him..

Dan/Rob - you guys are probably right in some respects, but are also being pretty harsh in others.. we've all done stupid things when we were younger, I think there's alot of luck involved.. It's the old - "I got away with it, know I was lucky & know not to do it again" syndrome.. hindsight is a wonderful thing.. and Rob - someone like you or me or Dan could probably have about 5 std drinks and not blow more than 0.02, but a 17/18 year old without as much around the middle as us would be a different story.. :D

I think Joe has come up with the best way of attacking this. Write to the Ombudsman for unfair/inconsistent treatment by the Police/DPI and get a good Lawyer. I'm sure they're just trying to throw the book at him, but once the real circumstances are found out by a Judge things may look a bit more favourable for him..

That said - he still has another 7 months to serve on the suspended license - if he gets away with just having to do that and nothing else he should count himself lucky, not be pissed off at the system that made a paperwork muckup that he took advantage of..

My 2 cents anyways for what it's worth.. :)

i think ur friends goin down and it will for for quite awhile. his best chance of getting off is calling in the media. but to do that he has to admit he was a bad driver in the first place or they will pin everything on him.

with the license he was still probationary. if he lost his licence or had it suspenned when u get ur licence back your 'p' plate period starts afresh.

unless they have changed that law in the last few years. this happened to a friend i use to work with.

the media would cricify him the same way that dan and rob have.

get a good lawyer

dont rely upon the misgivings of an internet forum.

sounds like he's ****ed himself by listening to people that don't know what theyre talking about enough already.

I can sympathise with his plight though.

Also, you people basing these harsh views on very little information. I have lost my license previousely twice for Dangerous driving, yet in both instances I was no danger to anyone but myself, and even then it was minimal if at all. Also if I had gone to court with a lawyer I know both times i could probably have gotten off the offence. Naturally hindsight is a wonderful thing. :D

Its all his fault, Judge says, you dont drive for 12 months, you write down what day judge said this, and on that day in a year time you get your licence back, its pretty black and white if you ask me, of course some pencil neck in some office is gonna say sure, you can go for your licence, your over age, but the people who matter, the courts and to enforce this the police have said you dont drive for 12 months, geddit?

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
