simpletool Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 So I wonder how the police will interpret these new anti-hoon laws and how hard they will push them? From the example set by the anti-bikie laws I think people should expect them to be pushed very hard over the next few weeks. Personally I'm going to try and avoid driving the Skyline for a few weeks. Any thought? Anyone come into contact with them already, or over the weekend?

-Boz- Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I'm more curious as to how it will fair in court after the ruling handed down in Bell v Police ([2012] SASC 188) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/434394-i-wonder-how-hard-the-police-push-these-new-laws/#findComment-7090615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Boz- Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I'm also curious as to how apps like Strava (http://www.strava.com/) will be affected seeing as they activel encourage competition between users and it times your ride on open roads to be placed on a leader board. Sounds like a Time Trial to me. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/434394-i-wonder-how-hard-the-police-push-these-new-laws/#findComment-7090627 Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpletool Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 If it gets silly then it'll likely be the last straw for skyline ownership for me.

DJ-Static Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Hi Guys, Sorry to hijack the thread but this is kinda related (on account that I'm shitting myself!) I'm relocating from SA to Springfield Lakes. Can you help me with a suggestion of where I should go for a RWC and mod plate? Or as another possibility, should I transfer the car into a parents name and leave it SA rego for a bit until the dust settles? Thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/434394-i-wonder-how-hard-the-police-push-these-new-laws/#findComment-7090881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpletool Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Not sure if leaving it in SA rego will help. I also can't help with RWC or mod plates, sorry. From the photos your cars looks too low and I'd suspect the cops find that the easiest thing to issue a defect for.

DJ-Static Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I thought being low was the least of my worries as the car is (to the best of my knowledge) standard height. The kit give it the appearance of being low I guess Cheer anyways I'll start my own thread re: RWC Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/434394-i-wonder-how-hard-the-police-push-these-new-laws/#findComment-7090957 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyifly Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Guys honestly ride height keep if legal exhausts try keep em a bit on the quiet side or simply drive normal never get hassled myself and I've got a 400kw daily driven skyline to work. And I've found the first words that come out your mouth when pulled over are the most crucial (attitude test). Saying all this yes I know there is quite a few cops out there that try to maximise revenue on us import guys 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/434394-i-wonder-how-hard-the-police-push-these-new-laws/#findComment-7095887 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayuri Krab Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) I am wondering about the definition of "time trial". According to this http://www.police.ql...blicVersion.pdf, speed trial means: (i) any attempt to establish or break any vehicle speed record of any description on a road; or (ii) any trial of any description of the speed of a vehicle on a road; or (iii) any competitive trial of any description designed to test the skill of any vehicle or driver or the reliability or mechanical condition of any vehicle on any road. Seems like if accelerating too fast from the lights can also fall under this as (ii)... also probably test driving cars at a dealership is can fall under this whether it be testing acceleration speed or testing how much grunt the car has up a hill with your family sitting in the car.

A public version hey. I wonder whst the left out during the rewrite. And via these new laws fast acceleration from csn be deemed speed trialing. Hence I've chsnged driving habits to 20kph per gear change.

ZRBE Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I'm getting worried about this as well.. I get my opens very soon and knowing my luck with cars & police, I'll get pulled over coming out of the driveway.. I have raised the car so it's now about 110-120 off the ground in all areas.. Also took my atmo BOV and replaced with a Turbosmart Kompact (recirc) and plumbed it back.. My only worry is my external gate, if a cop knows his stuff, pretty sure he or she will find it.. I'm not going to push it enough to open the wastegate.. But it's kinda hard not to stand out with gold paint, orange boot, black front and back bumper AND white skirts lol I'm getting a respray asap! Haha I have seen a crapload of undercover golfs and hiluxes pulling imports over in my area, (Miami, burleigh heads) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/434394-i-wonder-how-hard-the-police-push-these-new-laws/#findComment-7096364 Share on other sites More sharing options...
