Depends if the hoon offence is attached to your car or your licence...I'm guessing the licence, or people would just sell the car after two strikes...

If that's true then on the 4th strike you'll probably lose your second car and be looking at some serious licence suspension time / fines or maybe jail?

hahaha way to encourage more cop chases, third strike, well you know the cars going to be crushed, you're going to be f**ked anyway, so who cares!?

nice to see VicPol being reactive instead of proactive lol

reason why i ask is..if your on 2 strikes..you can just buy a shitty car, rip a burnout in front of the cop get that crushed..then it resets..

but birds is probably right on that..but would like someone to confirm.

p.s..im already an f1 driver bluejeans

impounds don't reset. they stay on your record for 3 years (at the moment but might increase).

if you get your 3rd impounded, you will be going to court and you will likely lose your license for at least a year but probably more. so, it really wouldn't matter if the shit car is crushed because you wouldn't be able to drive for ages.

dont forget, the first 2 offenses would have seen a long loss of license as well. the only way to reduce your strikes is to wait the 3 years.

pritty much gives those guys that drive like hoons to buy a 3 grand P.O.S car and go nuts. and these cars are alot worse to be crashing in. and if you lose ur car who cares. un reg'd 3k 180sx for the crusher (FTC) lol

Awesome, more fancy crap, won't change nothing....if anything, making it worse. They focus far too much on revenue and this shit but the road toll is breaking records for being higher than ever....

Might want to check the actual statistics :nyaanyaa:

prediction is people that get there cars impounded will just get a family member or a mate to buy it back if it doesnt get crushed... Or if you saw u got flashed doing more the 45km/h, you will have around 28days before the cops knock on your door to pick it up so you might just sell it and say you had no idea... So many dodgy ways to get around...

But, If this makes it to victoria

you wont even see a flash... and if they claim this is to make roads safer, someone shoot me...

Application of the hoon laws is another example of flawed policy by both govt and police who designed the laws. It once again shows that when it comes to human resources, the govt and govt departments really do scrape the barrel in terms of the quality of talent they attract.

O.k. I get it, they want to take away what hoons regard as their most treasured asset - their car... i get it, but in just 5 minutes I can think up of a better plan/strategy/law than they thought up after however many months this was in the planning for.

1) Why are hoon laws fundamentally flawed?

- Bascially because they are a form of uncapped in effect mandatory penalty imposed on lawbreakers that in many cases will be a punishment whose severity far outweighs the original crime.

- Imagine a very real scanario where an individual driving a vehicle valused at approx. $50K on his 2nd impound strike has just been observed commitiing a hoon offence and is being hailed to pull over by a police officer. Given the likely punishment for this offence will be at least $50K for the offender, there is a very real and likely scenario that the offender will attempt to outrun the police - at pretty much any cost to both his own and the public's safety. Given that we know there are people in our society who will commit much more serious offences for much less than $50K of monetry gain, (armed robbery, contract killings, etc) the prospect of dangerous police pursuits is very real.

2) What the hoon laws should look like if they were to designed properly:

- On the 3rd strike, the offender will have to face court on answer to charges. If found guilty, the Judge, after taking into account the severity of the offence as well as the offenders priors, will impose a fine/penalty that is fitting.

- As part of this penalty, under the 3rd strike, the police force is to take ownership of the offenders vehicle and the vehicle is to be sold at auction regardless of its condition. The proceeds of this auction is to be used to pay the fines imposed by the court. Any moneys left over is to be returned to the offender. Any shortfall is to be paid by the offender.

I personally find what they are currently doing unconstitutional. We have courts for a reason. Judges are the qualified individuals to impose penalties on offenders. Under my system this would happen. Under the current system, there is floor to what the penalty is that discrimates against people with higher value cars.

    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
    • How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.
    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways.
