Im not sure if anyone has posted this here before.

Quite a good read. Tells you all the restrictions as far as cameras after limit changes, at the bottom of hills, how the radar has to be alligned, etc.

I especially like the theory of going to view your photograph and if there is any other car in the pic (as would be the case on the freeway, etc) then they cannot fine you!

Also I have heard that if you get booked by an actual human police officer they have to be wearing their hat when they walk up to the car (otherwise you cannot be booked).

Another one I heard was if you are speed checked (cop travels behind you and uses his speedometer to determine your speed) then they have to produce a tyre guage and all their tyres must measure exaclty 37psi otherwise they cannot book you.

And last one is that if the have a hand held unit they must take two read outs, 3 seconds apart. They have to show you both readouts if you request this. And you can only be booked for the lesser speed. My Father has used this in Sydney and it downgraded him from a 15-30km to a 0-15km fine.

You know how they could save money and save lives.....scare tactics.

Who would continue at a speed (subconsciously) above the speed limit (speed limit = what that sign said) after they see a sign saying "Speed cameras are used in this area"? or something to that affect.

Hey I saw that 'hoons' sign on the way through Mandurah too, and I think I've seen it in Bunbury as well! I wonder what they'll target next: 'loud doof-doof music'! Or 'overly done up Hyundai Excels'? Ha ha!

"But my mom says I'm cool."

I like in the Pizza movie, cops are now targeting "Lebanese". Won't go too well in Cronulla at the moment :)

At Sir Charles Gaidner Hospital the speed limit is 30km but heading north towards the tee junction the last 50 meters there is a state limit speed sign. Which means your are leagally allowed to do 110km per hr for the last 50 meters

Start rant...

Well RADAR detectors are about to be banned. Funny no one seems to be complaining about it? <_<

Or, stranger, not after the lowest road toll for decades, thanks mainly to the new driving test rules, it seems that the real reason that people are dying is RADAR detetcors. Must ban them.

:D

Then of course there's the gymbyments commets last year that budgeted speed camera revenue will be/was down 10%. Must do something about that.....

End rant.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
