That's the one

You know what time it is!!!

Uht milk ftw

If we promote and maintain awareness and integrity with the general public at the level of public driving, we can aspire to a safer society.

Yes I agree it is safer to overtake quicker and I will continue to do what I do. I tried the slow overtake today and the mofo sped up by 15kph and was tailgating me when I got to pulling back in You say you'd be hard pressed to find someone, yet someone killed Sophia Naismith, a 15yo girl. This is the reason these laws are being passed. Most people are farking retarded, and the optimism bias of performance drivers is showing in your post, not that I'm having a go at you mate

Ok I'll detail it betterer. They teach the various driving aids that cars have, ESC, TCS, radar etc. They outline how these systems work and the effect they have on a car when they are activated. They talk about the issues that may present when these driving aids are disabled, and warn how touchy and potentially unpredictable a high performance car may be when fully unleashed. They discuss how some cars will have semi slick tires and how those tires have less grip until warmed up, and that you won't get them up to temp in normal driving conditions. They further say that a high performance street tire is a better option for street driving. Part of the course is teaching awareness about the individuals state of mind and emotions when driving a fully sick car. You may show optimism bias when you're happy and cruising and this may lead to a lack of care or a heightened sense of ability. They talk about driving and the effect emotions have on our actions, and the fact that a high performance car will far exceed the speed limit in a very short time frame, and how these factors increase the risk of dangerous driving. Braking systems are mentioned and it is said that despite having massive brakes, the leading factor of actually slowing down is the grip between the road and the tire. Massive brakes will endure repeated high speed stops but don't make the car stop any quicker. People see big brakes and think the car will stop instantly, but if you've bought a cheap set of tires the brakes will easily overpower them and you won't slow down quickly. One thing they talk about is general driving of a hectic car and how you should drive normally. This includes overtaking, you are not supposed to exceed the speed limit when overtaking, yet I'm sure we all know how fast you might go if you floor it past someone. Another factor mentioned is a lack of visibility in some cars, and that is all I CBF writing for now.

It's very basic, they tell you a bunch of stuff that leads into understanding that sh*t can go south very quickly if you aren't aware of things.

Cos it went flying in my other car and I couldn't find it so I robbed it from this car. Haha they are very anti skid in the test. It's a $5000 fine for switching off driver aids like traction control... If you get caught that is.

Really it should just be part of the initial driving test. Oh well, in other news, I'd better fix my shifter today, just gotta chuck the magnet back in it and it'll be sorted. My driveline will thank me for it.

Top chat, yay Saturday

What you got?!

Yes it may well be a load of sh*te but I ain't about to be pulled up for no license cos my Falcon is a Falcon

Potentially

Not entirely

I wonder if they'll update their strategy when the new uhpv laws come into effect in SA later in the year? At least for this thread we should have a decent outcome with the haltech support involved.

A girl died because some fool turned off the traction control and floored it. I'd lend out my 70kw Honda before I lent out my 500kw territory.

It's about teaching people the difference between a Corolla and a 500rwkw Falcon. You can floor a Corolla all day long, but you do that in a high HP Falcon, you might end up in the bin. You do a course, a few quizzes, then you can do the test. Yes it's online and it will help the less experienced learn what's involved in driving a hectic car. A practical version would complement the test, although a lot of high HP vehicle owners already take it to the track.

I just got my ultra high powered vehicle license. Cost $81 all up but if you don't have it and your car has enough power, is the same as driving unlicensed. Better safe than sorry hey!

Sealing up leaks is the key. I did a few recently and it made a massive difference in the room. Running AC cost stuff all with a large solar system

Overpowered is good, our lounge room wall unit can heat the whole house if you leave all the doors open and will take the lounge from 10C up to 15 C in about half an hour. Lol our bedroom one is the same, the only downside is it's a bit noisier than the lower powered units, but on the 45C+ days it's the bees knees!

Haha cheers, the singing covered up the sh*tty guitar playing lol. Plus I had to scroll the ultimate guitar app cos it won't auto scroll unless you pay Yeah man is been cold af lately, frost here most mornings. Days are getting longer though and pretty quickly at that. Still cold though lol

Fair enough, yeah mate smash it out then relax. Missus talked me into playing a few songs on guitar. Sounded pretty good considering I haven't picked it up in months

Eh it's all gone into singing so it's not a total loss. May as well just pay to get it done man, save you the headache of dealing with it. Haha you're right about keeping at it lol. Pretty sure I still have a bag of baby clothes in a wardrobe in the shed from 12 years ago.

Yes and no, yes cos it's a steel string, no cos I still don't have any passion for guitar anymore. How's it going settling into the new place? You got all your stuff there yet?

Yes it's a bit of a coincidence
