Saw on Ch7 the other night you guys are having your hoon laws changed from july 1 thanks to a L plater who overloaded his car.

it was said the offencices now go to the following,

first offence 30day

2nd offence 3 months

3rd offence car crushed by order of the corts

and over loading a car is a now a hoon offence (AKA more people then seat belts.

that's such a load of shit.... calling everything a "hoon" offence, any excuse to impound a car... what f**king bullshit. Impounding a car should be reserved for extreme or stupid behaviour such as excessive speed or running from cops in a chase for example, no just for having an extra person in the car (which I agree is dangerous but shouldn't warrant getting your car impounded).

talk about a f**king nanny state.

I heard about this, too. Shit is just ridiculous.

Not entirely sure how it works either. Say for example the Red P plater (who has passenger restrictions or anyone with more people than seatbelts) is overloading, gets caught, but the car is their parents'? What then? Surely they can't impound that car? :S

Or in that case is it perhaps changed to a driving suspension, or something?

But everything is just getting more and more ridiculous.

Here's the article I read

They keep squeezing and squeezing eventually something's gotta give and for some reason I highly doubt it will be the council. Something big is going to happen soon I know it, sooner or later were going to start following of footsteps of our UK brothers and of course it's only going to make them want to pull tighter on the reins not realizing they've already snapped....sigh in instances like this all I can think about is the movie V

What is wrong with this state fark me. All the deaths on the road arnt caused by 'hoons' , its all the retards out there that can't drive. All the near accidents i've almost had by people who are shit drivers, deaths from 'hoons' are minimal imo, there mostly retards dragging on princess hwy in there holdens.

If little old granny gets wheel spin in her corolla taking of from the lights in the wet will she get her car impounded lol, they really need to find other ways of making money then cracking down on a such a nonsense law.

Sure get all those dick heads in there crummy doors of the road but isnt all this a little to strict, whats all this going to achieve? All i can see happening is alot of angry people taking it out on cops.

Its getting to the point that people need to protest against this sorta shit.

I mean there are more laws by the day, yet less facilities, entry pricing that is increasing by the day.

It's a load of shit.

Not saying the Hoon laws are a bad thing, more so that anyone with a modified car is being labelled as one.

Bit extreme!! But I dont think they realise that someone who is on their second strike isnt just going to let their car go quietly!!! Wait till police and innocent people are killed while people run from these stupid laws!!

This is exactly right, the harsher you make the penalties the more inclined people will be to run..

Is it just me or everyday more and more police are pulling people over? I drive short trips, 1/2 times on the 5 minute trip to work I see a police car pulling another car over on Doncaster Rd, and on long trips I see at least ONE person being pulled over a day by high way patrol. The cops are really cracking down on everyone.

^^Agreed too, always delays and sometimes it's too early, sometimes it's too late. TOO UNRELIABLE!!!

How about we all get out and walk? Seems to be kind of heading that way with Greens, Road Rules and densely populated everything.

Oh but wait, I might get a ticket for "speeding" (walking too fast) or "tail gating" (trying to get past granny on the sidewalk).

Are they going to defect me for farting?

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
