corolla_nut Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Yeah it always sucks how people get into these kinds of accidents and it's always the p-platers that cop the flack. As I've said many times before introduce mandatory driving tests every time you renew your licence. I also think you should have to complete an advanced driving course before you can get your licence. That reminds me, I was driving over the bells line of road yesterday, we'd just left Lithgow and we were making our way up the really steep part. Then we saw to cop cars and we're like what's going on here? Someone in a commodore was coming down the mountain, obviously a little to fast for the conditions, and he's managed to slide across his lane, two lanes of oncoming traffic and run straight over the gutter on the side of the road which is, coincidentally, alot deeper on the other side which you can't see. So the gutter saved him from making a mess of himself on the stone wall, but he still had to get winched out cause his wheel was stuck over one side of the gutter. Maybe that'll slow him down, that corner's hairy at the best of times, even worse when it's been raining heavily for half the morning and it's foggy, and in all likely-hood has not been serviced in the last 30,000 k's so it has shit brakes and more than likely bald tyres.
Hiro Protagonist Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 The other day I finally found out what those little circle thingies are on the side skirts of BMWs etc.....all this time I thought they were parking sensors, gutter lights, all sorts of things, never once guessed that they were jacking points... I guess there was something good about The Transporter after all.....

Lexxi[ke35] Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Ahahaha true damn... :wink: Them people that walk around with the beagle searching everyone for drugs and stuff in quarantine and airports and stuff. And its not a cop. They're with the cops, but they're different.

Nitephyre Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Well due to SA"s recent weekend, There is going to be a guideline introduced to SA where DOT will be fitting a light to the roof of P platers cars which will be speed zone updated via GPS and if you go over the speed limit the light will come on and you have to go in to the DOT and pay a fine/fee to have it reset. Looks like you guys will have to be extra careful. Heh, nice one fool :wink:
LukeAE71 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Aaaaahhhhhhhhh thanks :wink: Customs Detector Dog Handler! <<< That's what its called ;) Enquire directly with AQIS about the requirements for a role there. We had AQIS people on site where I used to work (meatworks, yes they don't just work at the Airport doing Customs and Border Security) and they did courses run through AQIS from what I can remember. I do not recall any type of Uni involvement in this type of career but best to enquire with AQIS direct. They can also send you out for work experience too if you like just to see if you like the role before committing to it as a 'role for life'. Luke
Lexxi[ke35] Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Ahh thanks. Yeah I saw on the website you have to be fit and healthy (:yes: lol) and do an interview and psychometric test, then you do a 2 week or 2 day course in canberra, and then 3 months training, and then you go back to Canberra to test if your good enought and then they give you a certificate and there you go :wink: and they don't mention anything about uni which is good ;) I'll talk to them about work experience, that's a good idea, thanks ;)

Looks like you guys will have to be extra careful. sucks to live anywhere but queensland when you are getting/upgrading your licence, man were have the good ol days gone were it was only learners provisionals and opens and anybody who had p's or opens could drive anything they wanted to. soon they will be making laws up for the open licence drivers like newly open licenced drivers wont be able to drive anything over 300hp and shit like that like they do with the p plate laws, thank heavens i got my p's before all this bulls&%t power laws come in Yeah it always sucks how people get into these kinds of accidents and it's always the p-platers that cop the flack. most of the time it is P-platers that get into accidents (I AM NOT SAYIN THAT IT IS EVERY P-PLATER BUT SOME P-PLATERS) due to inexperiance i mean shit i am not the worlds greatest driver or anything like that and yes i have crashed a car before but about 60% of the time you will find a P-PLATER or somebody holding a p type licence somewhere in it in all honesty i think the government has brought these P-PLATE laws in a little late but also at the right time to but there is a few things i dissagree with if there gonna ban you from driving turbo cars it should be a total ban not if you can prove why you need to use it and that it's daddy's car and you need to get to work and you cars broken stiff shit ride a treadly or walk that is what the governments approach to it should be not oh ok pay us 23 bucks and show us proof that it's not your car yada yada yada
godlovesugly Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Aaaaahhhhhhhhh thanks :wink: Customs Detector Dog Handler! <<< That's what its called ;) don't work for AQIS, try and get a job with Customs. Customs do intersting stuff.... AQIS look for seeds and fruit and shit. With customs you can do anything from working in an office to working on a boat out at sea looking for illegal fisherman (you are armed). the money isnt that good but if your coming straight from high school its better than nothing, i work with customs but not for them and i know i get paid more than most of them, but i also know they enjoy their job a lot more than i do.
