No salt, ice, hale or drizzle on the road surface.
Air con needs to be on full, another 5-10% of power gone.
Tyres are at or above their ideal operating temperature before you leave your driveway.

Police have also detected the following:

On Tuesday 15 August an 18-year-old suspended probationary driver from Epping allegedly performed a six-metre burnout in the Victoria Police impoundment warehouse when retrieving his car, which had been impounded for a separate hoon offence performed by a friend. The vehicle will now be impounded for a second time. The owner will be summonsed to court, expected to face charges of improper use of a motor vehicle and driving whilst suspended.
