Some cops are a bit overzealous, for want of a better word - but please guys, you must realise, if they get calls because some tool has been watching drift and decides to start carving up the roads around where people live OF COURSE the police will come out. If they didnt, then people would be complaining the police are doing nothing.

If you really do think you are getting the short end of the stick - and lets face it, alot of people do, then complain to your local MP - they can actually do something.

And if you are worried about getting defects - go and get permits. I got permits for all my mods, and my car is pretty heavily modded - very cheap peace of mind for a whole $37.50. Alot cheaper and easier than screwing around getting stickers removed.

Usually, its a few tools out there on the road that make everyones life harder.

*giggle*

your funny

hope you have your permits laminated to save them tearing them up in front of you..

they also tend to not pay attention to permit regardless and still sticker you..

[Steve]

No, your right, much better to not get permits then bitch when you get defected for something you could of got a permit for.

and yes, they are laminated.

Ive handed cops permits before and they sent me on my way so i think its a good idea but they wont save you if you were stopped for being a nutter etc.

[deano_82]

How do i go about getting permits?

[N I B]

Theres an application form for major mods that you can pickup at the pits.Minor stuff just take the car to the pits.I got an MX5 approved with an F355 Ferrari motor and trans fitted in the rear(Cars about to get finished)but had to have flex tests etc but we got it passed so near anything is possible.

[gazza750]

im glad my car is almost stock think i only need permitsfor suspension if they will allow that and me wheels

Permits don't do squat 99% of the time, most cops don't believe in them and just ignore the fact you have gone to the effort to do things by the book..

ivew also had friends have permit paperwork torn up in front of them by police when pulled over, and shown them the permits for everything..

[noise]

Thats why you get your permits laminated, HA!

[teejay]

HA!

Oh man I really didn't miss this while absent from the forums.

No reasonable cop would rip up the permits in front of you if you yourself are being reasonable at the time. If they do, then take there badge number take a pic on your blinged out camera phone and report them. A cop will only do something if he knows he can justify his/her actions.

Any of you who are now saying to yourselves "I wouldn't want to do that - they may do me in for more things on my car etc etc". Then you were probably caught doing something overtly stupid, gave a bit of lip and deserved the treatment you received.

Grow up kids - stop acting like such victims!

your on crack

ive seen a cop rip permits up .. and i quote

"cos im in a shit mood, and i couldnt care less"

not my permits, cos i dont even bother with them these days.

[N I B]

It comes down to the reason you were stopped and your attutude.

Ive driven modded cars for 24 years and only ever got a sticker once and yes i was being silly and smart mouthed and that was in 1984 and i learned from that and have had no problems since.
