Essentially...

* Before entering a roundabout, you must indicate (to give sufficient warning to other road users) if you intend to turn left or right on exiting.

* Just before exiting a roundabout, a driver must indicate with a left indicator one's intention to exit.

* All mobile phones must be placed in a fixed mounting or not be touching the driver in any way.

* Only when parked with one's engine off, can a driver hold a mobile phone in his hand; unless passing it to a passenger.

* Any visual display unit like a GPS must be cradled in a commercially designed fixed mounting; and must not create a blind spot.

How is this different to what the rules are now?

Previously, the words read, "...when entering..."

On 1/11/12, the words read, "...before entering..."

Penalty = 2 demerit points & $165

Lol.

I won't be laughing when people...

i) don't know their right from their left

ii) continue beyond 360 degrees with the left blinker on all the time

iii) like demented geriatrics forget because they can't adjust

When my memory starts to go, I think I'll turn on my hazards :P

It's all the same to me... I thought it was like this for a few years now. I always indicate about 3-5 seconds before I even reach the roundabout and occasionally indicate my exit direction eg. Enter to turn right and indicate left to turn out. Mobile phone in fixed cradle is a new thing to me but I've always had this practice, and like the two last ones, I thought they were the same before too.

HAHAHA this made my day. That's if you remember to use hazards...

It's common sense to indicate BEFORE you reach a roundabout (you're supposed to do it at any intersection where you're turning/veering off the normal course of the road), but it's incredible just how uncommon that common sense is... :/

It 'may' fix the common roundabout problem of people entering from the left lane, but continues to turn right causing the car on the right lane that's going straight to stop quickly to avoid an accident.

This always happens at the Kingsford roundabout and it shts me to tears. Nowadays I always go straight in the left lane so grandmas and soccermums won't give me a lovetap on the side of the car.

Meh, doesn't phase me the slightest.

I got other third world problems to worry about.

Like jury duty tomorrow.

omfg /wrist

Just say u naild the defendants daughter on the weekend or something get u out of it quick smart hahahaha, im a little bit pissed off about the mobile phone changes, not for making calls when driving but because i use my smart phone as an MP3 player plugged into my head unit when im driving, how do i change songs now :mad:

THIS. This is a good thing. Lots of retards I have seen stick it in the middle of the screen right in front of them.

But realistically- They'll be more interested in defecting your pod filter than enforcing this.

The only thing that could possibly fix that roundabout is traffic lights. No one has a clue what they're doing on it and it's just stupid, mostly a 2 lane roundabout with one section of a single lane?! Have had many a near miss with idiots there.

I've seen people do this! What.... IDIOTS!! Worse is you can actually see their heads moving side to side trying to look around the gps... Come on... Really??

I've had so many near misses on James Ruse Drive heading onto the M4 ramp from Parramatta Rd. Like why the f**k would you have two lanes merge into one, and the lanes don't even have those give way lanes where theres arrows pointing out to the lane that continues onwards. Very dangerous as motorists in both lanes have rights to over take each other and theres nothing to govern who goes first.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
