Opposite Lock in
Adelaide have them for $7. Saw one there yesterday. I use one and its fine.
Most auto accessory
places stock them at anything up to $20. You can also just buy a buzzer from Jaycar and wire it in.
Cheers

I hooked one up to my handbrake cause I was always driving off with it on. The kids hated it but after 12 months it packed up and I've now been cured. Rus.

Your handbrake must have been stuffed. I can never drive off if it is put on properly.
Maybee you should get your handbrake adjusted so it actually works.

It is a Navara. Unless you jamb it on hard you could get to top gear before you realise you've no-where to put your stubby. Rus.

If there is one wish I could have............
I wish all car makers connected those annoying buzzers to the brake pedal.
Then all those morons that drive on freeways with their foot on the brake every 2 minutes might realise what they're doing!!! (wrong)
They would possibly be connected to a front mounted sensor that would be calibrated to indicate that THERE IS NO CAR IN FRONT OF YOU FOR 1 KILOMETER.....STUPID!!!
I feel better now that's off my chest :)
I reckon go to Jaycar/DSE and get a piezo buzzer for $1.50 connect it to the reverse light and save yourself some 'dough'.
I hate those, beep...beep...beep, buzzers :(

You have so nailed that, if there is anything that causes more havoc on a highway than your average "brake tester" I'm yet to find it.

So they shouldn't use their brakes to stay below the speed limit?

Of course not. That would cause havoc amongst those who like to
check the rear of your vehicle for microscopic scratches in the paintwork. Just being helpful of course :)

Hello G-wizz & gramps,
Just re-read my post and realised it probably caused more confusion than clarity.
I was more referring to those two rare beasts we all meet on the highway,
The one that's right foot is never still. It continually cycles from full throttle to full brake as a means of controlling speed.
And then there's the other variety where the brake lights are never off. You know the one, so safety concious the right foot is on the loud pedal and the left is always on the brake. Usually the left hand is on the handbrake as backup. They'll only ever drive an automatic because a clutch forces the left foot to be somewhere else.
Enjoy your travels,
Geoff.

You're fine Geoff. I agree with you about the 'nutters' you've described. There's all types out there from leadfoots to those who can barely outrun a speed hump. I just try to smile and enjoy the scenery whenever I encounter one ( starting to get a sore mouth though! ).
