Margin for error on speeding reduced to zero Alexandra Smith March 25, 2011 Gold Coast Traffic Lawyer www.GoldCoastTrafficLawyer.com.au Thought you were okay to drive? Top legal advice avail 24/7 MOTORISTS have always been kept in the dark about the leeway given to drivers caught speeding, but a leaked cabinet document reveals the secret 3km/h tolerance that has been given to speeding drivers will be axed. It could mean thousands of motorists are fined for travelling just a couple of kilometres per hour over the speed limit. The tolerance level is a margin given to motorists who exceed the speed limit as ''a benefit of the doubt'', but the Roads and Traffic Authority has always refused to reveal the leeway, citing ''road safety issues''. A leaked report from the budget committee of cabinet, dated December 9 last year, says the 3km/h tolerance will be removed. It says it will axe the ''internal and undisclosed tolerance as applied by the State Debt Recovery Office to digitally captured infringements as notified by the RTA''. One senior Sydney policeman said the revised margin of error was so small that a new set of tyres or the width of a speedometer needle could land motorists on the wrong side of the law. A spokeswoman for the RTA refused to confirm the tolerance and said it was a matter for the State Debt Recovery Office. A spokesman for the Treasurer said the office enforced policies set by the RTA and the transport department. While NSW has always fiercely guarded its tolerance, the Victorian government revealed in 2007 that its tolerance level was 2km/h for fixed speed cameras and 3km/h for mobile speed cameras, plus a discretionary tolerance. Australian design rules used to allow for a 10 per cent tolerance either way on car speedometers, but now the rules only allow for the tolerance above the actual travel speed. The cabinet report, obtained by the Herald, also reveals that the committee endorsed the ''accelerated roll-out of digital safety cameras by the Roads and Traffic Authority to be complete by June 2011''. The RTA is replacing red light cameras with safety cameras, which can detect motorists who run red lights as well as those who speed, regardless of the colour of the light, at 200 sites across the state. About 100 of the cameras have already been installed, all of them in Sydney. They are tightening the noose on motorists strictly for more revenue so beware Check your speedo with a GPS to find out error my car was 3 KLM fast so not to bad, but the 4x4 with big tires was 10 KLM slow. Tax bait. All the best Bob Foolin Around |

Yeah... easy to get caught. Mine is actually traveling about 115 when indicating 110. It used to be closer 112 when indicating 110 - but a change of tyres (same specs but different manufacturer) changed that. |

So, to add to that, the RTA provides a list of tyre sizes for differing manufacturers AND the relationship of tyre pressure to vehicle load as well as the changes in tyre diameter with various ambient (and/or operational) air temperatures? Not jolly likely! Thanks to Bathurst 1000 and rally cars, we know how they can differ! Solution, fit $50K (or more?) worth of telemetry in all road cars? |

Hi All With the proliferation of speed cameras along the highways around my place I decided to purchase a GPS unit on fleabay, it is 7" screen so it is big enough to read and is GPS accurate to .5% for an outlay of $100 it is a lot cheaper than a fine and loss of points. I tried it in the plane but it gets confused when it cant follow roads but gives accurate speed and altitude readings, maybe one day I can load airways map in it and make it doubly useful. It makes phone calls acts as an electric book and plays music if you can work out the Chinese English instructions but it wont make coffee, Damm. All the best Bob PS: I tried the under inflated to over inflated and over a 15 pound range it mate 10% difference to the speed reading Foolin Around |

Hi All This is a message from a friend of mine that important information for all of us that have to live two lifetimes to do our projects, I have read information on this poison before but after reading this I feel it is important enough to tell to all. A MUST READ..............................PLEASE ! In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick. She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around. Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed; she was in so much pain. By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications.The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain and so sick she just knew she was dying. She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc., in her oldest daughter's name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of. She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd. On March 19, I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS. I recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I asked my sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did. As a matter of fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that moment. I told her not to open it and to stop drinking the diet soda! I e-mailed her an article my friend, a lawyer had sent. My sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and told me she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk! The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100% but she sure felt a lot better. She told me she was going to her doctor with this article and would call me when she got home. Well she called me and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to call all of his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind. In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet soda... and literally dying a slow and miserable death. When she got to Florida March 22 all she had to take was one pill, and that was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her way to a complete recovery.And she is walking! No wheelchair! This article saved her life. If it says 'SUGAR FREE' on the label;DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on 'ASPARTAME' marketed as 'Nutra Sweet,' 'Equal' and 'Spoonful.' In the keynote address by the EPA it was announced that in the United States in 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing this to be rampant. I stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject. I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. Many people were being diagnosed in error. Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is! Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues its use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition. We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic once taken off diet sodas. In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the symptoms disappear We've seen many cases where vision lossreturned and hearing loss improved markedly. This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia. During a lecture, I said, 'If you are using ASPARTAME (Nutra Sweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting, pains, numbness in your legs, Cramps Vertigo Dizziness Headaches Tinnitus Joint pain Unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision or memory loss you probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!' People were jumping up during the lecture saying 'I have some of these symptoms. Is it reversible?' Yes! Yes! Yes! STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on food labels! Many products are fortified with it! This is a serious problem. Dr. Espart (one of my speakers) remarked that so many people seem to be symptomatic for MS and during his recent visit to a hospice; a nurse stated that six of her friends who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence! Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you crave carbohydrates. It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight! These products also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin and is used primarily to preserve 'tissue specimens.' Many products we use every day contain this chemical but we SHOULD NOT store it IN our body! Dr. H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of the 'diet products' and with no significant increase in exercise; his patients lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period. Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics. We found that some physicians, who believed that they had a patient with retinopathy, in fact, had symptoms caused by Aspartame. The Aspartame drives the blood sugar out of control. Thus diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when taken without the other amino acids necessary for a good balance. Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE. Especially with diabetics, the Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrier and it then deteriorates the neurons of the brain; causing various levels of brain damage, Seizures, Depression, Manic depression, Panic attacks, Uncontrollable anger and rage. Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics as well. Documentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their behavior when these chemicals have been removed from their diet. So called 'behavior modification prescription drugs' (Ritalin and others) are no longer needed. Truth be told, they were never NEEDED in the first place! Most of these children were being 'poisoned' on a daily basis with the very foods that were 'better for them than sugar.' It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of diet Coke and diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War, may be partially to blame for the well-known Gulf War Syndrome. Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e. mental retardation, if taken at the time of conception and during early pregnancy. Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should NEVER be given artificial sweeteners. There are many different case histories to relate of children suffering grand mal seizures and other neurological disturbances talking about a plague of neurological diseases directly caused by the use of this deadly poison.' Herein lies the problem: There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was included in 100 different products and strong objection was made concerning its use. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, and still nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. Sadly, MONSANTO'S patent on Aspartame has EXPIRED! There are now over 5,000 products on the market that contain this deadly chemical and there will be thousands more introduced. Everybody wants a 'piece of the Aspartame pie.' I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame, knows how deadly it is. And isn't it ironic that MONSANTO funds, among others, the American Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association and the Conference of the American College of Physicians? This has been recently exposed in the New York Times. These [organizations] cannot criticize any additives or convey their link to MONSANTO because they take money from the food industry and are required to endorse their products. Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote and presented a bill that would require label warnings on products containing Aspartame, especially regarding pregnant women, children and infants. The bill would also institute independent studies on the known dangers and the problems existing in the general population regarding seizures, changes in brain chemistry, neurological changes and behavioral symptoms. The bill was killed. It is known that the powerful drug and chemical lobbies are responsible for this, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting and uninformed public. Well you're informed now! Please tell to your family and friends. Bob Foolin Around |

Good Morning all Just had a hard sell investment from my broker and it is one of many but the message is clear and valid to all of us, the alternate power things we are fooling around with may become our salvation to live in a reasonable manner as the profit mad commercial system around us causes heartache to the general populace and the government solves the problem with more tax as is their standard modus operandi. MESSAGE FROM BROKER: Get Ready For the Oil Super Spike: Set to Send Oil Over $150 a Barrel Overnight The world oil industry is a complex system. At its heart is supply and demand. Everyone knows that oil supply is limited. There’s only so much oil in the ground. ALL THE BEST BOB Foolin Around |

Subject: Alan Simpson, Captian IDIOT! Hi All While this comment is about whats happening in the United States of America we can see the situation following along the same lines here in Australia, for those of us already on the pension it is a big concern but for the general population it holds a fear full future, as the superannuation funds are raided by government and depleted by incompetent management, and fees and charges out of proportion for the monetary gains the funds are supposed to generate. Bob Contributed by Isaiah. THIS SENIOR CITIZEN NAILED IT! Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming, Co-Chair of Obama's deficit commission, calls senior citizens the “Greediest Generation” as he compared "Social Security" to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats. August, 2010. Here's a response in a letter from a unknown fellow in Montana.... I think he is a little ticked off! He also tells it like it is ! ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---- "Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight.. 1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for FIFTY YEARS. 2.. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63). 3 My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud. 4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age 67. NOW, you and your shill commission are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN. 5 I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay the bills. 6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you incompetent bastards spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling " STUPID" on your incompetence. Well, Captain IDIOT, I have a few questions for YOU.. 1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career? 2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers? 3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance? 4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or, as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies? It is you, Captain IDIOT, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcases who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes. That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it. And you can take that to the bank, you miserable IDIOT!! If you like the way things are in America, delete this. If you agree with what a fellow citizen says, PASS IT ON!!!! There are many more of us out here that feel the same way. We all contributed to SS from the time we started earning pocket money in High School and from the beginning of the Medicare deductions. We only want what the government promised....... End career politicians and put them in the same SS and Medicare that WE participate in. Then they might feel a little differently..... Foolin Around |

AUSTRALIA IN FOR A ROUGH RIDE IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS SO GET YOUR ALTERNATE ENERGY PROJECTS UP AND RUNNING AND HELP SUSTAIN YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. A snippet from the news today. Bob Australian government debt has risen by 250 per cent since 2007, in the comparison prepared by Ken Rogoff and Carmen Reinhart of the London-based Centre for Economic Policy Research. This is the biggest percentage increase of any ''non-crisis country'' and third only to two of the front-line "crisis countries", Iceland and Ireland. They have had to resort to emergency loans from the International Monetary Fund to stay solvent. Among the nations classed as crisis countries - Iceland, Ireland, Spain, Britain, the US, Greece and Portugal - the average debt run-up was 136 per cent. Australia was superfast in resorting to debt. It worked and we avoided a painful recession. But the government must now conduct a superfast rundown in debt. This is a prerequisite to brace Australia for the crisis to come.

"They have had to resort to emergency loans from the International Monetary Fund to stay solvent." I am curious, why go to the IMF. Were do they get there money from? It is not from other nations investing in it. They just give a nation permission to print more money and then that nation has to pay back more than they printed to the IMF. |

Hi Grub To me its like a bank card situation as there is no money but it is extended credit that only becomes money when it is used, and even then it is only a ledger entry as money isn't cash as we know it, it is rows of red figures in a ledger. The IMF is a regulator of international funds to balance the flow of money in the economy as if governments where allowed to issue money willy nilly as the USA is now doing it would cause runaway inflation and devalue the currency as happened in Germany after WW2. The need to maintain some sort of balance between currencies and within the euro zone is why the IMF needs to regulate. All the best Bob Foolin Around |

HI ALL IT LOOKS LIKE SOME BUSINESSES ARE DOING THE NUMBERS AND CONVERTING TO MOSTLY SOLAR ENERGY, LET'S HOPE THIS STARTS A TREND. It was recently announced that the New Jersey distribution center for Toys 'R' Us will soon be home to the largest rooftop array of solar panels in North America. Upon completion, the 5.38 megawatt on-site solar mechanism will occupy 869,294 square feet of the Flanders, New Jersey building, and is estimated to generate 72 percent of the electrical needs for the Toys "R" Us facility. Generating the same amount of electricity using non-renewable sources would result in the release of an estimated 4,387 metric tons of carbon dioxide, the equivalent emissions from 860 passenger vehicles or that of the electricity used to power 532 homes annually. The solar power system will be comprised of thin-film photovoltaic panels that are flexible, lightweight, durable and maintain performance, even in sub-optimal lighting conditions. In addition, the non-ballasted, non-penetrating and removable racking system allows access to the roof and prevents debris build-up and maintenance issues. "New Jersey's leadership in providing renewable, clean energy opportunities for companies has helped pave the way for an installation of this size and underscores the state as a champion for solar energy growth across North America," said Jerry Storch, Chairman and CEO, Toys "R" Us, Inc. Earlier this month, Care2's Kristina Chew reported that New Jersey is second in solar capacity in the US, only behind my native state of California. Unfortunately, residents in some of the well-endowed neighborhoods have complained about newly-installed solar panels because they're "ugly" and could lower their property values. In January 2010, a rooftop solar power system was installed at the Babies "R" Us in North Brunswick, NJ through a partnership with the developer. This was the first "R" Us store to utilize solar energy, which currently provides approximately 67 percent of the electricity needs at that location. Foolin Around |

Crew I'm a little late dropping in on Bob's thread, but here goes anyway: Not that I would ever entertain doing this, but here's something I, being a retired plumber, have noticed about all the traffic camera devices in the States: The posts supporting the cameras are ALL threaded into their bases. That means a rather large plumber, like myself, could merely walk up with a pipe wrench large enough to clasp the pole and give it a good yank in the loosening direction. Having made this slight adjustment, said rather large plumber could merely walk away. Post "adjustment" the camera and all its evil innerds is aimed at the wrong part of the street or intersection to snap a clear picture of a speeding car's license plate! Once the constabulary catches on, they'll likely spot weld all those threaded bases, but that's not to say said large plumber couldn't then don his ninja gear and head out in the darkness armed with one of those things that extends one's reach to paint lines on the ground. I have it on good authority the lense is not able to see through a blotch of black paint! Food for thought! PS As for the little ditty about artificial sweetners, many here in the States have known that Aspartame and others like it are what we collectively call "excito-tixins" and they mess with your brain functions. Newborns are regularly tested at birth by pricking one heel with a lance, then testing the blood with the equivalent of Aspartame as an indication of brain defects (I think it turns color). Go figure! As for that Senator, well he can go straight to . . . well, you know! . . . . . Mac

Hi All My friend sent me a warning about kids making exploding bottles for a joke. Danger please read this and forward to a friend! Kids are putting Draino, tin foil, and a little water in soda bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns. When you go to pick up the trash, and the bottle is shaken just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up a gas and explodes with enough force to remove some of your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don't pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap.. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. People are finding these "bombs" in mailboxes and in their yards, just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the trash. But, you'll never make it!!! It takes about 30 seconds to blow after you move the thing. See "SNOPES" below -- it's true -- the video at SNOPES shows the Indiana State Police Bomb Squad detonating one -- it's truly horrifying! .... .. I checked "Truth or Fiction" and "they" agree this is TRUTH!!! So be warned and beware. Contributed by Isaiah All the best Bob Foolin Around |

BE CAREFUL IN BED ITS A HEALTH HAZARD, THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE IN THE WORLD IS BED AS MOST PEOPLE DIE IN BED, EXCEPT THOSE WHO DIE ACCIDENTALLY OUT OF BED. Top 8 activities linked to aneurysm ruptures Silent but deadly -- I can't think of any better way to describe an aneurysm. You can go your entire life without even knowing the aneurysm is there -- or one day, without any warning, it can burst and kill you in a matter of minutes. Aneurysms don't discriminate based on age, either. Just about a month ago, I know of a healthy, vibrant 14-year-old who had an aneurysm that ruptured. He died. So when I came across a study in the journal Stroke that discussed the top eight activities linked to a ruptured aneurysm, I had to look into it. After all, if there were steps to take to avoid this silent killer, I wanted to know about them. I should have known better than to get my hopes up. The top eight activities include drinking coffee, exercising, blowing your nose, having sex, bowel movements, drinking soda, getting angry, and being startled. Is this some kind of joke? Do you think these activities could have topped the list because EVERYONE does them -- or most of them, anyway -- to some degree or another? The reality is that the overall risk of an aneurysm event is incredibly small. Only about 2 percent of Americans have the condition in the first place, most never know it, and very few will ever experience a rupture. Bottom line: You have my permission to keep having sex, drinking coffee, blowing your nose and pooping, no matter what the study in Stroke says. But I'd lay off the exercise and soda anyway, just the same. Popping off, William Campbell Douglass II, M.D. Foolin Around |
