Penrith cops seem to go pretty hard on P platers no matter what it is, especially on a weekend night. Since I got my greens i havent been pulled over at all except for having to go through their rbt setups on mulgoa road.
They were real smart to me when i was on my reds though. I took the great western home one night back into penrith, got to high street, i was doing the speed limit and i had just passed the station when i get passed by the station wagon they have.. i think to myself "yeah theyre gonna follow me"
I look in my mirror and see them hit the brakes and do a u turn over double lines, then tailgate me all the way down to the end of the road near the embassy hotel and they finally pull me over, both of them come out and stand neart my window and ask
them - "where have you been tonight?"
me - "i was in parramatta"
them - "oh yeah what were you doing there?"
me - "i was working"
them - "you werent doing anything illigal tonight were you?"
me - "no, i just finished work 30 mins ago" they cut me off and say
them - "are you sure?"
them - "where are you going now?"
me - "yeah.."
me - "to the servo"
them "wrong.. home"
me - "ok.."
At the time i had electrical problems which i thought might have been with the ignition barrel and had the plastic cover off it.
them - "whats going on with that?"
me - "sometimes its a little hard to start, i think the battery or starter might be on its way out"
them - "hahah well usually the battery is in the engine bay HAHAhaha" me then thinking WTF
They hand my licence back, and took off.. didnt breath test me, and theres like 5 cars honking their horns leaving the embassy carpark probably drunk. All the while im thinking "wtf just happened"
