hoony Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 driving without a gearknob COULD be dangerous and there is no proof as to how many days you were driving without one and when you were getting a new one... that's not in question however, what the issue here is the fact that they gave you a sticker for things you've already had inspected a few days beforehand and that's all on the paperwork you can provide... if you take it to the pits and have the same guys inspect it they're going to think those officers were just arseholes, fight it man... just wait on your response... also depends how many days you have leftover on your sticker, the last one i had i only had 8 days to rectify all my problems and i only JUST got it ready... let us know what happens dude but i'm sure you would anyway Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/223438-and-another-yellow-sticker/page/3/#findComment-3943414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehgriez Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Im gonna have to go ahead and say that your not gonna get off. Yes you did just get it inspected, but by driving while your car was unroadworthy (missing gearknob) you had to know that you'd get another canary if you were pulled over. I think its purely bad luck on your part. Granted the fact that the new sticker contains things covered in the original one seems stupid, but the missing gear knob is a legitimate reason for a yellow.

Im not saying that its illigitimate, however it is not right. The law is suppose to represent right and wrong (people often forget that) and this simply does not Edited June 15, 2008 by bnr#@ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/223438-and-another-yellow-sticker/page/3/#findComment-3945138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehgriez Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I agree dude seriously, im in a similar situation. Driving my car around with two quite bald tyres as i bought it like that. I have an appointment to get new tyres tomorrow arvo but if i get pulled over in the morning tomorrow I'll no doubt get a sticker. The timing of when you got pulled over sucks but thems the breaks.

br3ndan Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Don't listen to them! Fight it all the way~ !! F*cking cops. If it was me, i would be doing the same as you. Whether it was legitament to give you a yellow sticker for a gear knob is not really the question. Its the fact that he just took of his yellow a few days ago! You would of thought they would of given him a break and just let him go. Especially in light he had his car broken into... which i would assume he filed a police report, so he would have proof there. Some people are just real assh*les. Anyway, i better start studying for my last exam for my BACHELOR DEGREE!! which is @ 1pm today. ahhhhh.

SCR34M Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 If it all doesnt work out, wait till you have scrathes or something you need fixing at the front of ya car, sit up a coppers ass, wait till he brakes, then drive right into him... nothing better than seeing a cop car all ding'd up... and even better, they will have to pay for the damage...
