Miscellaneous Car News

Yes Dr Lowball.

 

I knew you couldn't resist

 

Shouldn't you be putting a car back together?

 

What's wrong with the 308 for GAD BTW?

 

I should gate crash with the Mondial, I'll be in VIC around that time

 

Yes you should,join us for a couple or so days?

 

I'm not sure of timing yet, have a couple of things to do/sort in Melb then I'll drive the Mondial home

 

We don't do gate crashers on GAD, it's invitation only, like your spa nights.

 

He could stay in a Best Western......or just sleep in your bed as usual.....

 

A gentleman doesn't "kiss and tell"

 

It’s never stopped you from turning up

 

Yep we know.

 

Accommodation shouldn’t be a problem.

WTF?
I'm guessing this isn't a cars and coffee sort of thing:

I won't put this where you'd expect it as the cops are watching,this from the fatal in Vic yesterday....appears Vic cops are not as lenient as other states:

"At 1:40pm yesterday, police intercepted a 29-year-old male driver speeding in a white Mercedes on Labuan Road at Strathmerton and issued him an infringement notice for going 118 kilometres per hour in a 110kph zone."

 

It was 118 in a 100 zone - went on to cause a 5 person fatal.

 

You are delusional.

 

Having failed to give way

You have to feel sorry for the truckie

 

Interesting how they dropped the speeding bit in, despite that being unrelated to the accident. However I don't see any evidence that excessive speed was the cause of the accident at all. Looks like failing to give way was.

 

I would say the speeding will form part of a course of conduct when he appears on the dangerous driving cause death

 

Don't modern cars record a lot of stats in the ECU ?

They can't tell if you've run a red light though

 

In the 2017 HiLux I had it even logged yaw. There was a disclaimer in the owners manual that said something like by using this vehicle you consent to data acquisition parameters being made available to Toyota and law enforcement agencies.

 

Original report said he was in a 110kph zone hence my post,I copied what was written in the link/ABC piece.....someone got the reporting wrong.

Nup ,Navara was at the stop/giveway sign,the Benz did a Liberace and pushed it into the path of the tonup B Double.
