Last night i got pulled over, I 5hit myself because I was speeding and he could have defected me for my modifications on the car.

Cop “ Mate are you in a hurry?”

babylon“ Hi Sir how are you 2nite?”

Cop “I had to go passed a few cars to catch up with you”

Babylon “ I wasn’t speeding sir I promise”

Cop “ Is this your car?”

Babylon “Yes”

Cop “I know it’s a nice car and they go fast but you need to take it easy”

Babylon “Officer I know I was giving it a bit but I was always watching my speed I didn’t go past 60”

Cop “Have you been drinking ?”

Babylon “NO

Cop “ is there any problems with your licence or Car, What’s your address? Where are you heading to?”

I answered all his questions I was very polite. He did the breath test . He told his partner that he thought that im ok I haven’t been drinking. He said “ look mate im not hassling you but you need to slow down”

We started to talk about the world cup and talk about skylines and then he let me go.

Its funny because my cousin lost his licence the other day and I was telling him how I never get caught speeding.

Man was I lucky. My precision of cops changed tonight. From now on im not going to speed on public roads i want to start taking my car to the track!

yeah i dunno if its jus me but theres always 1 nice cop and 1 hero powertrippin` cop.. i ghuess your lucky u got the nice one :)

but yeah i've had a moment like that too for speeding.. i mean i did get booked but he was nice enuff to jus give me 15 over instead. and pretty much reasoned with me saying these cars are quick so u gta be carefull u take 1 look at the road and by the time you look at ur speedo again ur already speeding.. some good cops out there too bad the ones that think theyre heroes ruin the reputation of the police

You say that now, but then comes the letter in the mailbox 2 months from now. :)

nope, they have to call u within 48 hours of the offense if they change their mind to notify you that you will get a letter and will be charged/fined =)

Yeah well I was all "cops are great" until some PMS'ing troll decided she'd book me for a red light offence the other night. That's nice and all, but

1. The light was Orange.

2. I had just put my foot down after leaving a driveway which is about 4m from the intersection line so I didnt have time to take foot off accel and slam on brakes and stop in time.

3. They would have been a fair while away as they took a few mins to catch up, therefore I don't believe they had a clear enough view of the intersection to judge whether I was too close to the line to stop or not.

I was nothing but polite and explained the situation but she still had her heart set on booking me. Therefore, she can go f**k herself.

I generally find that if you are polite to cops and are honest and humble (not to the point of digging your own grave tho!) you get off lightly. If you give them any lip or claim you were doing 40 when you were doing 120 then you're gone.

Cops aren't idiots, and they have a really tough job to do (back when they used analog UHF I used to listen to them on occasion and it's a shit job sometimes). You will get an absolute c*#@ occasionally but most of them will give you a fair go if you don't antagonise them.

      Import insurance in 2025

      By MBS206 · Posted

      My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.

      A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call

      I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛

      Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
