I heard on the news yesterday that this May happen, Now i do not condone drink driving, however the thought that you would not be able to have a drink with your dinner when you go out for a meal or a beer or two at a mates at an afternoon BBQ and not being able to drive home is ludicrous.

Your Thoughts??

Sounds a bit too much like revenue raising.

Harsher penalties, sure, OR reduce it to 0.03 or 0.02l.

Complete intolerance is a bit too far. You could have a light beer with dinner and be done. Cough syrup and mouthwash will also get you caught.

I think doing this will work backwards. It'll be unfairly punishing the light drinkers. The heavy drinkers would have been done anyhow, just need more coppers doing RBTs. I've been driving for 9 years now and only had a single RBT.

Watch for the increase in alcohol sales and extra busy taxi drivers if/when that law comes in too.

But hey, safety isn't always the factor they're interested in. Its politics, they want to be out there and in the news. Also the government will do whatever they reckon will get them the more cash. Heard much about those studies proving that red-light cameras increase the number of accidents at intersections in the debates?

Yes I totally agree that this is just a money making scheme for the government. I think its a f#%king stupid idea and the person who thought of this law is a fool!! I myself am a responsible light drinker who enjoys a drink or two on a friday afternoon with the mates at work. It's more of a relaxation thing for myself as it helps me to unwind after a hectic week at work. I'm all for lowering the limit to .02 but .00 is just a joke!

I think its revenue raising as it is, if they genuinly didnt want people to drink and drive there would be 0 tolerance.

At the moment there is a margin of going over the limit but if the limit was 0 I think there would be less cases of drink driving as you know if you get pulled up and youve got grog in you your farked.

fingers crossed!

Seriously such a wet blanket, just because you don't like to have a drink with your meal doesn't mean other people don't to. Its not all about getting smashed, I don't want to loose my license because i had a beer.

Seriously you should worry more about your vagina then this.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
