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.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
