Police from the Fawkner Highway Patrol picked up six drink drivers in Travancore this morning as well as an offence not usually seen during traffic intercepts.

An operation targeting drink drivers travelling up Mount Alexander Road after a celebratory night out in the city detected a 27-year-old Cobram man with an alleged BAC of 0.149.

His 27-year-old passenger from Strathmerton was also arrested when he exited the vehicle and decided to go to the toilet next to a nearby bus stop.

Unfortunately the man was so drunk he was not able to maintain his balance at the time and fell back.

He was subsequently issued with two penalty notices, one for drunk and one for offensive behaviour.

Other offences detected included:

• An unlicensed 20-year-old woman from West Footscray who allegedly blew 0.154

• A 30-year-old P-Plater from Jacana who allegedly blew 0.127

• A 48-year-old woman from Pascoe Vale who allegedly blew 0.057

• A 22-year-old Melbourne man who allegedly blew 0.067

• A 45-year-old man from Roxburgh park who allegedly blew 0.150 and also received a penalty notice for drunk

• An 18-year old male P-Plater from Fawkner who allegedly blew 0.028 (with a license requirement of zero BAC)

A 60-year-old male from North Melbourne was also issued with a penalty notice due to a passenger travelling with a six-year-old child on their lap.

Police remind the public that a significant number of operations are in place today targeting 'morning after' drink drivers and other traffic offences.

Hahaha...

They didn't exactly say what happened... ...But you know that the divi-van had to be washed out this morning...

Part of the link at the top is "right in the poo" so that should explain it lol, also he was given a penalty notice not arrested, shitting his pants may have saved him from a night in the cells!

30 year old P plater? Are the penalties for drunk driving on P's higher than for those unlicensed? Not that I ever would but just wondering if the system is perhaps unfair in this regard.

it might have changed as this was 7-8 years ago now but a mate of mines brother and step dad both got caught same year his brother unlicensed as in never held one got a fine that was it his step dad got fine,lost licence and drink driving course apperantly if you have held a licence you know the rules better

      Using Trickle Chargers

      By silviaz · Posted

      Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas.

      I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!

      Another recco is to just let it rest for a while and go back and reconnect later.
