yellowsticker bullshit!!!

[kidd]

a while back some cop wanted to defect my friends stock evo VI she tried to explain that it comes standard like that but he insisted the suspension was too hard and the brakes were too large!!!! demonstrating on his commodore on how stock suspension should behave by pushing the bonnet. these cops are ****in hilarious!!!! i want to fit stuff on my ride but want to know how you felllas cope with dis bollocks!!

[hippy]

you should of asked him if he was a suspension expert ...

[Pva_Glue]

Stop bitching about cops... I know there are few think they know it all! but not all cops does that!

Why dont your friend go to the licencing centre and get a Permit!

cheers

Fair enough joe, good point, not all coppers are f**ktards like kidd described....

but getting a permit for a STOCK car ? when it comes to this, there is a fine line on police harrasment.

I've never had any issues with the police, and I've been pulled over many times. It will depend on the cop and your attitude, I try not to give them an excuse to bust me.

See'ya:burnout:

Exactly right there Vspac, cops only bust ya if u are talking trash. Now some ppl say "i was being polite and everything" u gotta be genuine. When i ran that orange last thurs the cops said 2 things "we would have nailed ya if u werent so apologetic" and "wel ure obviously not an idiot" i take that second as a compliment

fair enuff maybe the cop was just an ahole but i have never met a cop that busted me unfairly. Mind if i ask if u are of aussie appearance or not? the cops are easier on the locals if u get my meaning, seeing as the majority of em are white males anyhow. I think some may have gripes against asian looking ppl driving cars they wish but know they could never own.

no offense intended here fellas so dont get rilled up, just and observation.

[ix9]

Nice observation there shaun, i'd have to agree with ya there.

In my line i've never had a cop bust me. I got pulled over in freo at night and he picked on my BOV, but i was geniune and said "look mate, i know they're illegal, so im taking it off... i dont like it anyway" blah blah blah.

and no yellow sticker for me. SCORE!

(nb, I didnt remove the BOV)

the cop was sorta alight about it, and let me go.

now, my previous rice-mobile left alot to be desired, 3 yellows and constant cop attention was crap. grrr...

[Boostzor]

bwahahha yep i remeber that 1, "Driving with undue care" they prolly wanted to bust ure ricy ass b4 u even got out of the car. :lol:

[ix9]

dam straight... goddam pickin' on hyundai drivers!

on a sidenote, saw a hyundai accent with blue neon's get pulled over the other day.... piss funny to watch, but poor guy prolly got a yellow

[rob77]

Tell me how a cop is supposed to know the stock ride height of an Evo VI and brake size? I wouldnt expect a cop to know my stock ride height and brake size. To give you an idea of my cop experiences, one day when I owned a hyundai coupe I was doing 100+ in a 60km zone, a cop car going the opposite direction saw me and decided to pull me over, only problem was he was stuck in traffic. So I saw his lights come on and siren go off, as soon as that happened I slowed down and stoped and pulled over for him. After 2-3 minutes he caught me up and got out. Asked me if I knew how fast I was going to which I replied no (never admit how fast you are going) in the end he mentioned 90 something, gave me a fine for $150 (remember thats still 30km over the limit) and 3 demerit points. So I lost the right amount of points, but only got charged for like 10km's over the limit. In the end he was nice about it all all because I pulled over and stopped. If I had raced off and tried to loose him, it would have been far far worse. Ok not all cops are like this, but being polite goes a long way most times.

They can't go the stock setup of everycar as they are so different.

thats why theres the ADR's which the majority of the cops don't know and the rest don't know very much of it.

with an evo VI all there gonna see is kitted out lancer, no use arguing with them just gotta be nice and explain its an imported car and this the way it is.

otherwise if you have mods on your car and no permits its your own fault.

1-10 is 0 points, $50

11-20 is 1 point, $100

21-30 is 3 points, $150

31-40 is 4 points, $250, had a few of these

41-45 is 6 points, $350.

Friend who bought one of my old tx3's had this sort of hassle..

his gf was driving at the time and got pulled over as they heard the stupidly loud ssr BOV..

cop proceeded to pop the bonnet then tell her that lasers never came with a turbo motor and 4wd..

ignorance is a wonderful thing..

I got 6 points for doing 70 over the limit. I was on my P's at the time, could easily have lost my license, but they were nice about it and let me go.

Mod edit: none of that please joe :confused:

[R33_Cam]

there are alot of cops out there that are real good ppl and are easy to get along with, but the few that are a*s holes spoil it for the rest of them.in my previous car (not a 'line) i had permits for absolutly EVERYTHING, and i still managed to get a yellow for something that was on the permit, his excuse was that in his opinion it was illegal and therefore i would have to get it inspected, and i was being very civil to this cop, so trust me permits are a great help most of the time, but if for some reason the cop really wants to sticker you, they will, permit or no permit, but as most of you have said, it comes down to attitude, most of the time, be just dont be a d*ck head towards them and they are USUALLY ok, not all the time.

my 2c worth

[MetBlue_GTST]

Unfortunately, the traffic cops job is not to know everything single mod and where it is illegal or not, if he suspects that something is amiss then he will yellow sticker it... Its the dudes down at the licensing centre to know the ADR rules...

This site tells you some info about what you need a permit for and what you dont...

What's the "still 30km over" thing? Are you referring to when its automatic suspension of lisence? I thought if you were doing more that double the speed limit it was automatic loss of lisence?

My dad was a cop - he told me they can give you a yellow sticker if the lights on your radio and heater controls don't work!! I agree - some cops have a chip on thier shoulder and think they are all that anda bag of chips - buuttt. alot of cops will treat you fairly. And the issue with them having to know EVERY illegal/legal mod etc to any vehicle - this is not humanly possible. Pharmacists don't how to make every drug in the book, they look it up, doctors don't how to pescribe to every illness - they look it up. Cops are only human

[rob77]

I thought 0-10km was $100, 10-20 was $200 and 30+ was like $300. I know 0-5km's has been a $50 fine. and when I got caught for doing 8km's over I got a $100 fine.

[adam 32]

are you comparing mechanical work to medicine and pharmaceuticals?

to do their job properly cops should know the road legality of vehicles, it isnt that hard.
