Not hard to get out of at all.

Contest it.

It's their word against yours.

They send these out hoping that people will just pay them without question.

Can you elaborate based on experience? I can and it isnt easy as someone mentioned above, photographic type footage or something that can not be disputed was required. Some of the time, the person who has reported it has a grudge for something else such as such as a bad lane change, speeding, not indicating etc.

I've reported filthy sh*tbox cars blowing heaps of oily smoke. One I was stuck behind at Maccas and almost choked before I could get the A/C to recirc. Dirty Magna!!

Problem is anyone can do it and we already have cars that are a target of hate and envy.

My dad recieved a notice for throwing a cigarette out of his car. It was at a time when he was stuck to the TV watching the UEFA cup, and the car was parked in the driveway.

He wrote them a letter saying someting like "...at the time of the incident, the two teams were in a penalty shootout and my car was still in the driveway..." Two weeks later he received a letter that the fine was to be withdrawn.

I think they just want you to pay up and keep quiet and if you contest it they'll drop it. Oh, and my dad was apparently spotted by a member of the police force in front of a cop shop! (cnr Warrigal and Toorak rd)

g/f and i saw some tosser throw a cigarette butt out the window the other day, has been reported. rd, time, type of car (rare'ish car, unless you were an import enthusiast, you wouldn't have known what it was) etc etc...

if they can be contested fairly, for those legitimate cases, i think it's a good idea to have a system like this. If retards didn't do things like throw cigarette butts out windows, there wouldn't really be a need for this.

Most people are generally good with litter these days, i swear most the people who throw cigarette butts on the ground wouldn't just drop an empty cigarette packet. I just don't understand why they think a cigarette butt is any different?? it's just really baffling? ;)

Just an update on my situation...I sent the letter back to EPA with the stat dec stating that I had 2 females in the car not a MALE as stated and no one threw anything out the window and received a response today saying upon investigating my case they have withdrawn the fine:)

maybe your passenger didn't throw a cigerette packet, it was just some other rubbish? Dunno just throwing ideas.

Anyways i've done it - when i see knobs throw cigarette butts onto the road at the lights (clearly see them do it) i get their rego, description, car , road, time etc... and report them. If they want to smoke, thats fine, but don't go throwing shit onto the road - their car has a ashtray! use it or don't smoke in your car!!! really shits me.

But i thought you needed 2 complaints against you before they did anything to stop false claims?

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?

      Sorry, I wasn't very clear.....just that the standard injectors are apparently good over 600rwhp/450rwkw which you won't get to on standard turbos anyway.....they are much better sized from factory than we are used to in RBs.
