The central point being EPA HQ carpark?

I don't have any helpful suggestions unfortunately mate, but the EPA should have on record the details of the officer who reported you. It may take some getting to the bottom of it, but someone had to

this is how they handle simple traffic / car related issues imagine how they handle complex issues such as 40yrs+ of soil and water pollution at tullamarine / westmeadows and aircraft noise issues ar

Can we cut out the useless Asian jokes? There were some valid commentary and extremely good points raised. Funny posts regarding EPA carpark dobbing which I'm all for to give those in the system a taste of their own.

But if you insist on the race jokes why don't we just move on and make some comments about Africans. Greek? No Italian. I'm not sure it's hard to make up my mind since there's Afghans, Jews, and half-casts in between. I'm a bit spoilt for choice but I guess that's one of the privileges I have living in a multi-cultural society.

Don't forget ur mum either....

Equestria. Why the long face?

Lmao. Nice one Basti, tactfully done. Apologies if i'm quick with the trigger. Last fortnight I did humanity an injustice because I kept silent so as to be 'agreeable' to a group of people i just met. But that's my problem. Cheers.

Bit of an update:

Got home and was greeted with a letter from EPA and thought "Cool, maybe they've grown some logic and are withdrawing the original test notice".

Low and behold, what I read disgustted me. Basically, the letter read "The time of 2:22pm should read 4:20pm".

Now, this is the part that annoys me because in my email, I outlined to them my exact movements and what time. They basically taken note of what I wrote to them and then changed the time of apparent infringement to suit them!!

Obviously I was in the area at the time of 4:45pm (DUH! I wrote to you in the email saying I was there!) BUT not even close to the road/time I was apparently spotted on!

My faith in EPA has well and truly been lost. "Disgraceful" is the only word I can think, knowing they are more than willing to pull off a stunt like changing times around AFTER I emailed them with my location/wehereabouts.

Does the report say the name of the officer who reported you?

If so, go to the station and ask if you can talk to them, or organise a time to speak to them....

Then say "This report says that I was here at 2:22pm, is it possible that you've gotten the time wrong, because I wasn't even in this part of melbourne at the time."

He'll of course say "No, that is correct, I spotted you at 2:22pm at xxxxxxx", reading back the details of the first report.

Boom, conflicting information, and a bullshit "amendment" from EPA...

Will be enough to get it cancelled.

Nope, no name. I've tried since day one to get the name of reporting officer so I could have a chat to him and see where the error has occured. Unfortunatly, EPA continue to withhold the name of the officer for some reason or another.

If I was able to get the officer's name, I would no doubt follow the path you mentioned as the two conflicting stories will raise alarm bells. Hopefully the officer isn't in on it also. EPA = Untrustworthy!

      You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.

      Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
