Well there is one simple fact here, you break the law, you pay the consequence.. dont winge about it like fairies.
Modifying your cars to a standard not legal by ADR rules is breaking the law.
Its just a shame that those laws happen to be ridiculous.
Is also a shame, like Grim states, that the police force have no clue or knowledge about imported vehicles, but yet seem to think they are qualified to enforce traffic laws.
Those "imports" that are so regularly picked on by SAPOL are put into a dangerous safety bracket because of the number of high speed accidents/deaths that happen as a result of stupid and irresponsible young drivers.. of which I have a nice hefty insurance rating to thank for. There is also the issue of revenue raising, which is quite simple really, if you dont break the law, they dont get your money.
I understand what the traffic coppers are trying to achieve.. but hey, thats politics for ya!
enuff said.. haha..
