Police from the Fawkner Highway Patrol picked up six drink drivers in Travancore this morning as well as an offence not usually seen during traffic intercepts.

An operation targeting drink drivers travelling up Mount Alexander Road after a celebratory night out in the city detected a 27-year-old Cobram man with an alleged BAC of 0.149.

His 27-year-old passenger from Strathmerton was also arrested when he exited the vehicle and decided to go to the toilet next to a nearby bus stop.

Unfortunately the man was so drunk he was not able to maintain his balance at the time and fell back.

He was subsequently issued with two penalty notices, one for drunk and one for offensive behaviour.

Other offences detected included:

• An unlicensed 20-year-old woman from West Footscray who allegedly blew 0.154

A 30-year-old P-Plater from Jacana who allegedly blew 0.127

• A 48-year-old woman from Pascoe Vale who allegedly blew 0.057

• A 22-year-old Melbourne man who allegedly blew 0.067

• A 45-year-old man from Roxburgh park who allegedly blew 0.150 and also received a penalty notice for drunk

• An 18-year old male P-Plater from Fawkner who allegedly blew 0.028 (with a license requirement of zero BAC)

A 60-year-old male from North Melbourne was also issued with a penalty notice due to a passenger travelling with a six-year-old child on their lap.

Police remind the public that a significant number of operations are in place today targeting 'morning after' drink drivers and other traffic offences.

Hahaha...

They didn't exactly say what happened... ...But you know that the divi-van had to be washed out this morning...

Part of the link at the top is "right in the poo" so that should explain it lol, also he was given a penalty notice not arrested, shitting his pants may have saved him from a night in the cells!

30 year old P plater? Are the penalties for drunk driving on P's higher than for those unlicensed? Not that I ever would but just wondering if the system is perhaps unfair in this regard.

it might have changed as this was 7-8 years ago now but a mate of mines brother and step dad both got caught same year his brother unlicensed as in never held one got a fine that was it his step dad got fine,lost licence and drink driving course apperantly if you have held a licence you know the rules better

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
