Most people actually worry more about the $$$ then anything.

If you're 30KM/h over the limit, you deserve to walk for 3 months. 45KM/H over, you deserve to walk for 6 months. MINIMUM! People just don't understand, you might be on a freeway in a 110KM/H zone, sitting on 150KM/H thinking you're safe and dandy, but shit gets freaking scary at those speeds when it all goes wrong.

At to that if you're doing 90KM/h in a 50 Zone... That's a hell of a lot of damage! Considering pedestrians have an extremely low chance of surviving an impact when a car is over 60KM/H... Yet alone 90!

Further to this, learners and P platers can only do 90 and 100km/h on a freeway. The speed differential from 140/150 clicks to 90/100 is substantial, throw in a driver who is very inexperienced (and one numbskull who is speeding) and you have a recipe for a hospital trip, or morgue trip for that matter. Seen plenty of ugly things happen at much slower speeds than that, it's not worth it on the road. Want to go fast? Do a track day.

Radar detectors.. another brain dead idea. Cop uses a LIDAR gun (laser) you are screwed anyway, and you deserve it.

You can buy undetectable radar's now they stipulate this when you read up on them.

Remember NSW is broke and do not have money to keep updating you will always get

updated technology faster than nsw police...

lol you do that, and when they point the gun at your car and notice you brake, then they point the gun away and you speed up, then they do that cycle again because sometimes the detectors just go off and then you'll have the car searched. The gov may be (semi broke) but they spend on things that make them money. They'll then walk up to the car with the gun and activate the gun in your car and they will look for lights and listen for the sound of the detector. Besides in NSW they don't need to give you the 3 second speed confirmation test anymore, they can get the reading from less than half a second now which renders the detector useless....

Actually on 2nd thought keep using your detector, get done for speeding and the detector at the same time and what other goodies you may have in the car :D

they are called radar detectors but most of them work for lazer aswell, it's just the name of them, we know cops usually do speed with lazer guns but most of us still call it radar

$1040 fine for HAVING a RADAR/LIDAR detector/Jammer.

Another $1050 fine for refusing to hand it over.

Also, NSW police REGULARLY update the jammer/detector detectors...

I know of someone who occasionally uses a detector X, K, Ka, Ku, Laser and Strobe and hasn't been pick by police going in both direction with it running.

I think if you are doing dangerious speeds, by the time the detector would detect a radar and you need to slow down it would be more than obvious to the police that you would be in the wrong and should be busted anyway.

Kujotk - As far as the 3 second rule, I can't be sure. I do know the police still state the 3 seconds in a court of law, i.e. that the gun was locked on for 3 seconds. So it must mean something. A minimum of 2 seconds to prove speed, it usually tells the speed travelled in those 2 seconds too, slowing or speeding up.

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
