Nice way to beat losing demerit points for speeding has been highlighted here:

http://smh.com.au/news/national/company-dr...3958129707.html

I like the fact that the boss of the pedestrian Council of Australi is investigating this loophole :( Stick to the walkers, Harold.

I have a sure fire way to do it for non-corporate cars.

International/Overseas Licences do not have any points systems. When the notice gets sent to your house, nominate one of your international student mates to take the blame, write his international licence number down, pay the mate some money for his troubles, pay the fine, and forget about the points! Easy... =)

I know a couple of ppl who pulled this off successfully for a speeding ticket around 20km over the limit. Not sure what will happen if you get done for speeding at a level where you'd normally get your licence cancelled.

i was gonna say...i thought if companies didn't say who the driver was, they got a huge fine...but by the looks of that article they don't bother lol

Sorry guys to break the bubble but this is not true! whoever the company director is loses the points if the driver isnt nominated ...speaking from experience ..

one of our drivers recieved a fine in the mail and he thought he was smart by not confessing he had done it so therefor the infridgement process centre fines the director and they also loss the points from there license. This loop hole was closed a few years ago .

What if the director doesn't have a licence? :P

I assume the rules will be different from state to state, with this article being NSW based.

Yes, this isn't a new loophole or anything, but the article I posted is highlighting the fact that it is going to be looked at, with the push ironically being led by the Pedestrian Council of Australia.

okay being based in new south wales i can only speak for this state hahahha tried doesnt work as i dont have a license . they will then ask well if u dont have a license .1. some else was driving or 2. why were u driving if u dont have a license .

they will basically not put it to rest and if it went to court u will b found guilty as someone was driving and if u give the excuse that u dont have a license then it is really your problem to find out who was driving and more costs will occur.

by this time state debt will increase the fine and u will b screwed harder.

there is no way of getting out of it....sorry guys

and the loop hole has been closed there not that stupid.

and just think how many people have already thought of this ...cheers

That Harrold guy has nothing better to do than cause grief for us motorists... he is one of the main campaigners behind the P-plate curfew and P-plate restricitons...

He is a nasty piece of work and obviously has never driven a car in his life. If I ever saw him I'd have to throw something at him.

Well if it is old news and does't work, why then is this clown Mr Scruby who is the boss of the PEDESTRIAN Council getting publicity about it in the SMH? You'd think he'd have better things to do.

nmcmahon83, scruby already has a legion of "fans" who would like to do a lot more than just throw something at him :rolleyes: The Australian Drivers Group come to mind as his greatest "fans".

Agreed that it will only work for camera offences, but I can tell you IT DOES WORK in NSW.

I have a fleet of company cars, and when you get the fine in the mail you give 8them a BS name and address overseas.

The RTA will send a letter to "no one" and then it will go tot he Office Of State Revenue for debit collection.

As the OSR has no investigative powers, all hey can do it threaten to cancel visa's / licenses' etc for this invisable person, but they can do nothing to the company. This is because under the law the company has named he driver and that is all they need to do.

I can tell you that failing o nominate smone is a bad thing, but telling them a BS name is "technically" lieing on a stat dec, but that is a lot harder to prove.

The revenue cameras can kiss my butt

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
