Pulled over in the driveway... long story


Recommended Posts

Got pulled over in my driveway tonight.

I live off Burwod Hwy. I was at the ANZ on crn. of Warrigal and Burwood Hwy. coming back from my basketball game tonight. Down the road about 150m is a set of traffic lights that a persuit car was held up at, I saw him as I finished with the ATM and knew straight away once I pull away and he catches up he will most probably get me. Anyway I have about 600m head start caus he is still at the lights by the time I pull away... but get stoped at the lights near Audi and the graveyard on Burwood Hwy. By the time I get away from the lights (doing the speed limit) my head start is reduced to only 100m. I turn off to my street not far from the lights and sure enough he follows me, I make another turn and I'm in my driveway...20 seconds later he is at my house and asks me to come over to his car.

Cop: "Do you know the speed limit around these streets"

Me: "50"

Cop: "Be nice if you could do it"

Me: Blank look????

Cop: "Have a nice night" or something like that and speeds off.

I'm not upset about it at all, but I bet if he got me 20m B4 my driveway I would have been given the whole treatment (anal probe)

So, I know that the persuit cars love to nab people up the road from my joint @ REECE plumbing (they get cars coming up the hill just B4 the BP) so me and the girlfriend take the dog for a walk and sure enough there he is. I did not want to walk past him so I cross the road to give the dog a run @ PLC. He speeds of down the road chasing???

Hope I dont get an EPA notice.

My rant.

be carefull guys im not sayin you were speeding, but you may notice little boxes on in the middle on top of the roof of cop car's. They are speed camera's I found out because a mate of mine got done for 5k's over and he was on the other side of the road heading in the opposite direction.

Take it easy

Will keep thread alive once it drops to page 2 if I get the EPA notice.

Speeking to a EX-COP this morning @ work, it does not matter if you are in your driveway. They can still ask to have a look at your licence and check out the car? I guess I was lucky...but then again, I did nothing wrong.

there must be a lawyer that surfs these forums with us to save us the pain of reading law books!!!

Question the All Mighty PranK, he has a few solicitors in his family, he's quite a hadsom fella also

Damn!! Can a cop actually come into your driveway & inspect the car? Do they have the right to do that?

Don't quote me, but apparently, if you have gates and you close them it would be considered tresspasing in this case. BUT if there are no gates or they are open, it's not trespassing...????

Sounds dumb, but I read it somewhere...

If you are pulled over the police you will be asked question like "why are you speeding in this 60km zone?" or "Do you know how fast you were travelling?"

Your natural reponse to the question would be

"Sorry Officer I didn't realise I was speeding" or

"I was a little over 65kmh" or

"I was in a hurry to pick up my girlfriend" etc etc.

By answering this question you are admitting guilt and if you fight it in court they will repeat your answer to this question.

The best thing to do is say nothing or say

"I believe I was travelling 60kmh"

You also have the right to view the speed camera in their car. In fact they have to invite you to view it. Out of 2 speeding fines that I have had over 4 years only one has invited me back to the patrol car to view my recorded speed.

You should also request the officers names and write them down even if they are polite. This will keep them from being arse holes as complaints about police officers sit on their permanent record.

There you go! Some advice from the Lawyers at my work. Dept Education- You have just got some valuable advice for all of the tax dollars you guys give us!

I have gates, but they were not open and I was kind'a on the footpath bit of my driveway.

I don't know about you but I get all weak in the knees when confronted by a COP and everything I know I should say is replaced with : YES SIR, TWO BAGS FULL SIR.... so I guess I would never of asked him in for that F***ing Coffee...

actually no a cop cannot come on to ur property without permission if ur gates are closed... BUT if u invite them in or they are open they can come into ur property

hahahaha

i used to be like that... I'm still polite (b/c I choose to be), but not weak at the knees...

I had a friend who used to draw a lot of attention from cops, and his answer to every question was either:

- yes KUNTstable

- No KUNTstable

- Fcuk you PIG, etc

- (The few times they hit him): Your mother slaps harder and i like it

So I got pretty desensitised by being around him. Don't think I would have the nerve to talk back like that though....

do u guys reckon theyll go easier on girls driving a skyline??

since i got my skyline [NYE that just past] ive driven past a quite a few cop cars and no1 has pulled me over yet....my hubby says its cuz they werent going the same direction as me, otherwise i wouldve been pulled over.

if i ever get pulled over i think i'll start crying

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
