Well much to my shock, never seen this before however in the last week I have noticed a fair bit of police activity on the fwy, much of them pulling over cars between Russell road and Armadale Road. North and Southbound.

I was traveling across the Russell road bridge that goes over the fwy about 30 minutes ago and spotted a police bike who had pulled up on the walking path for the bridge/overpass, over the southbound lane with a radar gun and a hand radio. Pin pointing cars that were speeding down the fwy to another officer was sitting behind the bridge on the fwy, hidden on his bike waiting for the speeding motorist.

so be warned approaching overpasses from now on. Especially on that bit after Armadale road, because of all the crap traffic thats where it frees up and most motorists nail it down there in frustration of all the traffic soup they just sat in til Roe hwy. Not many peeps do 100 down there.

Yeah you see them doing it all the time where the graeme farmer hits the mitchell.

Another favourite is the tonkin hwy heading south after forrest rd. Same thing, traffic frees up, people nail it, cops are waiting.

At the end of the day, dont speed, and its not an issue

Yeh yeh yeh, our police force is corrupt and our government is shite and taking us for all we've got, I know the charade.

Seriously. Get out of Australia once every so while, go and see how fkn good we have it here. People have nothing to do but whinge these days.

agreed! :yes: it's pretty good here definitely...comparing to alot of other countries. I would know, I'm from South East Asia, all cops there are just asking for bribes.

its all relevant. . .if WA cops went to Bali to do policing they would have a meltdown, scooters overtaking on the left of cars in the left lane and all sorts of things that would get you a ticket quicker than you could blink if it happened here and you know what?it all works!saw no examples of road rage, no speed cameras/radars , no cops hiding behind bushes ready to pounce on a motorist doing 2ks over the speed limit

dont they have to show u the radar to confirm the speed you were going otherwise they could just bullshit and do what they like?

ive been shown the reading on the radar by the cops and as i pointed out to him "that could of been there since yesterday"

Not if ur parents are rich government officials themselves, copper would know better to piss off the higher ups...

And indonesia has a road toll of approx 28 000 deaths a year, compared to our ~350 a year.....

Population differences...congestion, infrastructure, density....

plus narrow/uneven roads, didnt see one prang on the road, altho i didnt drive in indonesia at all i felt safer on the roads there than i do here

I spent 10 days in China, saw 1 woman fall off a moped in that time,

it doesnt change the fact that the chinese kill over 100 000 people a year on the road, and seriously injure around half a million per year. And this is in a counrty where less than 30% of the population has access to personal transport.

My point is, comparing Australian roads to any other country (especially asian one) is stupid.

How is it stupid? an australian came off his scooter in bali today and died, is that the roads fault?

... Possibly? Lol. If he drove into one of the many pot-holes they have, then yes, I'd say that was a fault in the road. If not then obviously not, but I don't see what exactly him being Australian has to do with anything?

hmm... when i got my only speeding fine a couple years ago *touch wood* the officer told me i was going 20km over the speed limit but i asked to see the radar i was only going 12km over.. it had my plates on it i think??

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
