I knew this day was coming. So here it is, I got DEFECTED last weekend in Berri. I was driving my mates car and he was driving mine. He got pulled over, I kept going. He called back saying that the cops wanted me to bring his car back so that they can have a look at it and possibly defect it as well. When I rocked up the first thing the cop said was "your car is being defected". So instantly I asked why it was being defected for, the older cop said, for BOV, boost controller and aftermarket turbo. All is fine but the BOV is stock, and the boost controller he pointed to my Master brake cyclinder stopper.
Being defected wasn't an issue, the issue for me here is that the cop told me that I was getting a fine for driving my mates car which they deemed defectable. So I would get the fine for being the driver at that time and my mate would get the fine for driving my car which was defectable. This is where I have a small issue, I got a fine for my car for not complying with ADR standards and a defect, but on the other hand my mate didn't get a fine or a defect. So this is what I am confused about? I wasn't the driver of my car at the time of being pulled over and defected. Yet the fine has been made out to me.
Can anyone please clarify this for me?
