Speed tolerance reduced for December and January

[GrayWolf]

Well, after 30 years of development they still can't get them to work.

not quite, but I think the technology is on the brink.. Reason although not related, it is indirectly..
the common O2 sensor fitted to vehicles. They are now fitting some vehicles with an ECU that can register if it's disconnected and/or a defeat unit is fitted. My own bike has one of these, and even using a 'resistor' or disconnection, the ECU recognises either it is missing, or it expects 'variance' in the signal voltage which a resistor doesn't give, and goes into a 'limp home' setting (reduced power).

If the ECU is programmed, the only defeat is either replacing it (as i am doing) or a reflash. it's only a short step away to an alcohol sensor.. remember Mercedes and now Honda have systems that can 'register' if a driver is overtired from monitoring eye movement patterns.

Interesting, let's analyse this:

My statement was they can't get them to work ie: a fact. Your reply was "not quite but I think the technology is on the brink". Ie: Not a fact, followed by an opinion. So I'm wrong?

[willytheekid]

What is WRONG with you, Willy?

...Are you referring to my constant use of FACTS?

Why are you struggling to understand that this new "tolerance", is a bit to fine in regards to the average kiwi drivers ability to judge and maintain there speed to such a fine degree, and that it also directly goes against the Mechanical standards Laws in NZ, that govern the agreed accuracy of speedo's on vehicals, and the fact that this new tollerance allows the Govn't to possibly collect revenue off tax payers, for extremely small indiscretions that may be of no fault of the driver-(And they offer no affordable way of questioning these infrations)

...or are you just happy to cross your fingers and hope! that little flashing light in your dash is ACTUALLY calibrated to 104kph (admit it...you would be pissed!! if you got a $30 ticket for no fault of your own, or a brief moment of inattention in regards to speed...wouldn't ya!)


...but yes...there must be alot "wrong with me" if I DARE to use this public forum to raise these questions AND use supporting facts! (it is kinda out of the KB norm tho lol)

-still, wishing you a safe & merry xmas James, and yes, I too will be "trying" to adhere to the new limit...but like most, I have a speedo that goes up in 6mm 10k blocks, is untested for absolute accuracy, and Im actually still human!...so I can only try my best.


EDIT!...shit fuck!...just got ya rep James
- "Nooo, it's cos you are being NICE TO PEOPLE! IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME! BE GRUMPY!"


damnit!

hang on ...YOUR RIGHT!!...I really do need help lol

once again...safe & merry xmas mate

[James Deuce]

Lol. Much better. I want Christmas grumpyness, not common sense and joy.

Im trying!!...but some things just make me happy



hmmm...550 × 799...wonder if gremlin will give me infraction present again? (after all, he promised he wuvs me!)

Luring you into a false sense of hope? Consider it a Chrissy gift

Re my ability to know my own speed, I tend to drive by feel, and more often than not I'm surprised to be correct when I see I was doing 50 in a 50.

Re anything else, sod off.

So there.

Cops having a drive-by feel, has been an issue lately.

Heh, that looks like it was meant to go something like this next: "Well that wasn't very mature or logical rtc" to which you (or Scumdog) reply "Just like most things on KB" etc, etc, usually ending with "Donuts".

[James Deuce]

MMmmmm, "doughnuts". This is New Zealand. We done spell right.

Yep, he does keep spelling it the US way.

Duffnuts??
Downuts?
Doffnuts?

The new issue police vehicles, designed to take the operators minds off the 4km/h over limit.

[R650R]

Looks like their in damage control mode already



Nothing seems to have changed in our area. People seem to have adopted the OFIIDIA approach already...
