My mate had a car crash a few months ago , she was driving home one night. Looked down to get her red bull looked up hit a car and somehow managed launch the vehicle and turn it on its side (she is fine). The cops had a bit of of a giggle when she told them she looked down to get her redbull , they said " i guess red bull really does give you wings."

man i know how is this for pathetic

"I GET PULLED OVER FOR A (RANDOM INSPECTION :) ) AND THE ONLY THING THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD GIVE ME A DEFECT FOR WAS FOR NOT HAVING A SHINY EXHAUST!!!!!"

i was like ah how does get real sound what do you want me to do paint it???

they just target p platers to get them off the road once i took the plates down been pulled over once for a random breath test they are to look at me i make the rules not follow them

In south australia now if you turn your head and talk to your passanger you an get done nowadays. That ame in late last year along with the eating and drinking law.

Also some of th keys on my keyboard don't work so fill in the blanks.

Anyway, she's on her green P's and drives a Festiva. Hasn't had a fine yet. She was at a red light eating a sandwich, had been fasting for Lent and was starving. So that's why she was 'eat driving' ;)

The cop pulled her over, told her off, scared the sh!t out of her, and let her off with a warning.

WTF? Is it a traffic offence to 'eat drive'?

Vehicle at rest and eating, nothing wrong with that as its just sitting at a red light, going through the intersection sideways and eating a sandwich just makes you a f**king legen... silly bugger.

Hwy Patrol make up some laws as they go to suit the event.

I have heard some good ones over the years, I'll add this one to the list ;)

Course the best one I've seen as far as eating/driving was this hambeast of a woman in an XF falcon next to me in Sydney traffic a few years ago ripping into a bowl of cereal... doesn't do wonders for one's faith in humanity.

The stupid thing about it all is that the laws arent "clearly defined"... this gives the popos (cops) the power to harrass where they see fit... as Mr. Keets said they will just call what you did as something that can explain it.. yes that may be illegal but its changing the wording.. its quite stupid really.. the cops have every right to give you a ticket for practically anything.. only way to combat it is to take it into court.. comes down to a judge then and how they interpret the law

there isn't a judge alive I believe that would convict someone of eat driving

this would certainly be an ACA story

perhaps there is more to it, maybe the cop was following her and wondered why she was all over the road, and not driving in a straight line.

then when he realised it some some dumb P plater chick not paying attention and eating he thought it was a good idea to pull her dumb ass over

its a law. not allowed to drink and drive (that means anything) or eat. because you do not have both hands on the steering wheel if you are eating and its a distraction.

surely this would mean that it's illegal to drive with your hands on the gear stick? i swear 90% of people only have one hand on the wheel - even when they're not using the other one for anything (visible)

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
