I Wonder How Hard The Police Push These New Laws ?


Recommended Posts

by this u mean not adjusting them anymore ?:D

or u have to weld them down? :(

then again... how often do people adjust the height of their coilovers? I know I only set mine once or twice in 3 years :P Would nismo ones sound more "legal" ?;)

I mean having them welded into position.

between the new bikie laws and this hoon crap, QLD is turning into a bit of a hole of a place to live in

There is also proposed changes for noise complaints to combat out of control "social media/facebook" parties.

Basically gives the police far easier access to come onto and search your property

Almost tempted to ship my car to my brothers place down Melbourne and just fly down there for events

Shouldn't have too. It's like the whole cops can strip search on the side of the road to confirm you don't belong "outlaw" motorcylce gang. They'll have to arrest me before I strip down to prove my innocence.

that's funny, i usually have the police telling me to put my clothes back on :P

wonder what happens with the forms received though, so one person fills out a form saying you're hooning, and then what, you're charged? or flagged on the system, etc?

I don't "hoon" but do drive a car with a louder than stock exhaust and nice rims, the way some people look at the car even just driving along normally it's like i've got my foot to the floor producing 40 metres of smoke. Driving at 10k ph through a wide open carpark and some guy goes 'slow down dickhead' wtf, I don' think it will go any slower without being parked mate. And that's my concern with this, that some people's ill-informed perceptions will result in people being penalised or at very least have un-needed trouble created for them.

Correctamondo. It's a perception thing different people see it differently. My coworker had same issue on the weekend up nebo was doing 60 in the 80 zone and some old biatch was walkung her dog in the road and yelled at him as he passed saying slow down blah blah blah

I do not approve....

you could have alot of fun filling out the forms though...

I may go hunting for commodores with offset pink rims just to get them off the road. Chermy is close enough to nudgee i guess

Yah I really like it when I ride a lower gear to hear my exhaust through some road works

and the "stop go" guy starts waving at me to slow down

when I am already 5km/hr under their already ridiculously low speed limit.

Yet the truck flying by at 20 over is fine.

i consider the loud exhaust a road-safety measure, kind of like an early warning system. Car coming, get the hell out the way. Being in a car when I can't even hear if it's idling/on makes me physically nauseous.

It took a lot of getting used to with the Maxima. Felt really weird at first.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
