Although the Liberals have said that they will bring back the 10%, they are also making speeding penalties harsher.

ATM, if you get done by less than 15km/h, you score 1 demerit point. You can do this as many times in a year until you lose your licence.

Under the Liberal proposal, you will score 1 point for your first offence and then it will increase to 3 points for the second offence in a year and then 6 points, etc.

I'm still voting for the 10% though ;)

Yep, you're right Leewah.

Here is the full policy (including Leewah's information) if anyone is interested...

I did have a look, and there is no road safety policy published on the ALP Victoria website.

Cheers.

OI!!!!! That's it... I'm not voting for you any more doxeh... screw you guys... i'm goin to sydney

I see this as a desperate attempt by liberal to gain votes. Once/if they get into office they will realise that they can't live without the revenue because the Bracks government has become almost reliant on it in some ways and they would probably just increase the fine amount if you are outside the 10% tolerance... either way if I was over 18 I would vote for Labour because they have overall done a good job in their previous term. my 2c :)

All I have to say to that is wait until you actually get you licence and get a fine for doing 57 in a 50 zone (Like I did a few weeks ago)!!!! As for the realisation that they cannot live without the revenue, wasn't it the Kennet government that cleaned up the massive financial mess/debt that Labour created??????????? Labour cannot live without the extra revenue, not the Liberals.

Bring back the 10% I say. Getting a fine for 54 in a 50 zone is just ludicrous, ridiculous, and completely lacking logic.

The Ford EA Falcon came out of the factory with a dodgy speedo. When the speedo says you're on 100, you're actually doing 105! This was in an issue of Wheels mag a while back. What hope have we got!!!!!

As far as I'm concerned Bracksy boy ( :whackit: ) can get stuffed :upurs: !!!!!

I can see your point, but you have to admit that Liberal's entire campaign is based around self-interest. Bracks has done a decent job as far as the economy is concerned in his last term, but anyway my point was that Liberal is just appealing to self interest when they should be looking after state issues such as health care, police, drought relief etc. Sure they will get votes, but it is yet to be seen if they can run the state.

why do we have to kill inark? it's too cruel... we can think of something else, right? he doesn't have to be dead... what could be worst than eternal suffering? :devfu:

Once you are the leader, you should be able to do anything, right? Behind closed door, of course... :chairshot:

a dead nark is better than a live one, besides, its not like he's got any purpose... he's like kiwis (the bird, not the people)... furry flightless and better off as roadkill

This is a damn good idea, seeing as the ADR's state that a speedo is allowed to be 10% out!!

In Victoria speedo's are only allowed to be 10% pessimistic and 0% optimistic. So if your doing 100 and your speedo says your doing 90 then it’s ok. However, If you are doing 101 and your speado says your doing 100 then it is considered un-roadworthy.

You don’t have an excuse for speeding because your speedo was out. In saying that I would still vote liberals and the 10% rule in.

whoever votes for the Liberals just to have the 10% rule reinstated has no idea of the real world. I wish the 10% leniency was reinstated myself as I got a speeding ticket not long ago for doing 64 in a 60 zone but I wouldnt vote for the libs for only that reason. I dont know how many times (if ever) some of you have voted but just think a little bit harder and read a few more newspapers

Yep that's the point I was trying to get accross :O

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
