Dunno if this link works .....
https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/austr...1i8mjW#details. If something didn't happen, how do they know it could have happened 500,000 times. I could beat Kyle Chambers in 100m freestyle swimming, but as it hasn't happened yet, he doesn't know about it, and I am happy with my imaginary world record. |

Driving around today I think I've discovered why many don't like tech like lane keeper /lane assist. These systems use cameras etc to keep the car relatively central to the painted lane.
A large percentage of people use the painted markings on the road as a rough guide only.

I love how bundying off for 24h every Friday evening means I am likely to come back and find one or two AFF threads are now mudfights.

I’m disappointed in whynot using research to propel an argument. Scientific input has no place in online disputes. |

Cherry picking data to suit a viewpoint.

Emergency Lane Keeping, Land Keep Assist, Cruise Control Distance systems are all relatively new.
Viewpoints on how they work, their effectiveness are even newer. We don't have enough real information to be effectively arguing with conviction. Lets keep it civil, please, and thank you. I let a lot of things ride, but don't want to let a thread get out of hand.

![]() The fines can be nothing really (depends on the magistrate) but the ramifications of criminal convictions are wide-reaching, you don't have discrimination protection against being discriminated against in this area in some states, like you with discrimination protection on race/identity/gender/equal opportunity. The protections available now only partially exist in VIC since 2021/2022 with some new at the time legislation - and it still doesn't introduce discrimination protection, it just hides someones ability to see your conviction depending on how the chips fall in court. Check out this one for 25 over: Quote:

The fine was only $850 but it cost me about $4000+ by the time you take into account paying impound fees, looking nice for court and paying lawyers, If you take into account lost income on the driving ban if you relied on your car to get to work like most people do, than that figure raises to around $70,000. I'm open about it because I want others to understand the potential ramifications, its not just the potential for accident its the administration side that you don't expect - but I understand if current Franco said this to past Franco, I'd have told myself to GAGF ![]() Certainly changed my attitude behind the wheel, thats for sure.

True be curious to really know the facts - prydey quoted about more hospitalisation’s increased - don’t know where he got that intel from. Franco thanks for the info and noting how much you have changed your road manners without tech assisting you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
