Defected =/

[THR34T]

me and friend got pulled over last night by Pettitt and got defected for having 1 rear semi bald tyre. and was then given a fine on spot for unroadworthy vehicle and ontop of that have to get a new roadworthy just for one semi bald tyre on inside.. are they allowed to do this? it seems a bit unfair for just one semi bald tyre. just wondering cause seemed a bit unfair/dodgy.. and other person who got pulled over same with with me had 4 bald tyres and he doesnt need to get a roadworthy or a fine.. isnt that a bit stupid...?

ah pettet, that wanker of a cop f**ked me up on the old skyline. Im sure he had a massive explosion in his pants everytime he books a jap car. But yea he knows his stuff. Dont think you need to go as far as a RWC tho. Might just chuck on some RW tyres and stop by a vicroads and book it in there for them just to have a look.

[chris_r31]

its unroadworthy if a cop wants it to be..

some might of let you off with a minor, so all you would of had to do is change what ever was wrong and show the copper personally at the station or in your case major defect which means, your whole car has to be roadworthy, not only things you got defected for..

you get good cops and you get the wankers..

[THR34T]

but mines a minor defect.. not major

[chris_r31]

then you dont need a rwc!!!

just fix your tyre with the same brand/profile ect and bring it down to the cop station ask for constable wanker, show him you fixed it and away you go..

[THR34T]

somehow i dont think it would be that easy. is there like a link to the laws/guides of defects with minor and major? because it is a minor and RWC required is ticked. somehow i dont think if i went and showed him i fixed it hes going to be like 'oh okay now wheres the RWC i told you you'll need to get'

[zorb_rules]

if he has ticked major defect on your form that what it is..my mate got done for basically the same..in my old car.. pettit got him and whilst the tyre had heaps of tread there was a small crack in the side wall..pettit defected him with a mjor and now it has to be cleared..its there choice judging by the looks of the vehicle whether to minor or major the rwc..if he decides oh its a hotted up jap car im sure somethin else will be unroadworthy then thats what you get a a requirement for roadworthy..but basically if he ticks roadworthy certificate required thats what you need its not a matter of showing the cop looks I have a new tyre..if your lucky and your mechanic is a lil like mine (i wont name him) he will look at what is on the defect if that has been fixed then Ill get a rwc no matter any other problems..

good news is i've heard on the grape vine from a mate who works in TOG that pettit has or will be getting made (forceably) to retire soon or shall be transferred to a different post..it is well known in law enforcement circles that he is not well liked by his peers and is quite the trouble maker..i've also heard he has cost the police department thousands of dollars in legal actions etc... i.e the case where the guys car was engineered pettit said that he wouldnt accept the engineers certificate the car was put off the road cause the guy refused to get the car engineered a second time just cause of a lousy cop, the guy then sued the police for loss of earnings cause he couldnt drive his legally registered car to work...

So it is possible to be asked to get a roadworthy if its just a Minor Defect then because its Minor Not Major lol?

hmmm theres always news going around about different things. maybe Knox area needs a bit of a break..

[Gunr32]

maybe we shld all make a formal complaint against pettit..might solve the defect problem for now

"Harassment"

[ctjet]

pettet stikes again!!!

i think he was following me the other day with my mate, dont think he was keen enough to pull over two bikes as the lack of BOV"S and intracoolers probably threw him

[limpus]

Been awhile since i last heard about this wanker...does he still patrol the same areas or has he ventured further now? Whereabouts does he like to shoot his load off nowadays?

[UNR33L]

i got out of 1 of my fines by writing a letter (regarding p plates and dark tint)

[UNR33L]

that was pettit too

[DogKnight]

He rocked up at my folks house once. Was a funny experience.

[adznight]

He's a fcken muppet of a cop. I've been defected for similar issues and had to get a RWC. Lip will get that.

[Redback]

how do we reconise this nob jocky... i mean BOV jocky.... ?

[adznight]

His Badge is probably the first warning you'll get, he has a variety of cars. His name is Adam Pettet (or how ever it's spelt).

Don't get me wrong, I don't go around slaggin of the Police, GENERALY they are just doing a job, this guy how ever is a cock!

[chris_r31]

by rights, there shoul;d be 3 things defectable on your car for a copper to give you a major. however they can give you a major for less things it just a matter of weather he ticketed the rwc box on your fine or not..

[dmr]

talking about RWC...

i got done last week by an absolute wanker of a cop who was very arrogant and had a personal hate for jap cars. his name or station i will not mention. but i'll have to say this is one of the worst cops i've come across who also got me for a couple other things.

anyways he defected me for no water in the washer bottle, an indicator (the wire had ripped out but it was a 1 minute fix with tape but he refused to let me fix it) and 4 tyres (fronts were road worthy but the rears had slight camber wear).

funnily enough he forgot to tick the "RWC" box on the defect notice.. although he ticked it on the yellow windshield sticker.

with 1/2 a litre of water, 2cm of electrical tape, and a $3 can of tire shine the defect was cleared the next day.
