mentioned there.

the way they put it there actually makes sense.. i think i support THAT part they advertise.... but I'm not entirely sure tehy havent stuffed a whole bunch of other stuff in there i wont like and they're not gonna advertise.

Some of the offences for which fines will fall - from $233 to $175 - include:

  • Certain right hand turn offences
  • Beginning U turn without view of approaching traffic or when driver could obstruct traffic, and
  • Proceeding past hand-held stop sign while sign shown or contrary to directions.

The offences attracting the biggest rises in fines include:

  • Not obeying direction of police/authorised person (from $50 to $225).
  • Various unsafe towing offences (from $74 to $300).
  • Using a vehicle with a misleading, altered or obscured plate (from $78 to $300).

“Wherever possible, similar types of offences have been grouped together and - in the future - any new offences will be at one of these 15 levels,” Mr Scully said.

“To ensure consistency in penalties, reductions in demerit points for many offences will be implemented including certain roundabout offences, not stopping at hand-held stop signs, not keeping left of a dividing lane, and not driving within a marked lane.

I have no problem with demerit points for selected parking offences- in fact it's about time I say.

I'm so sicking of parents complaining about driver behaviour around schools, but convieniently forget they're often the ones double parked in no-stopping zones when they drop the kids off!

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
