Compression lock

[sweetr33]

Hey i compression locked today coming up to a set of lights and it made my car go abit sideways on approach. When i stopped for the red light i looked over at the servo on the other side of the road and there was a cop car, 2 police got outta the car and were looking my way. Could they have fined me for anything?? Like i was doing a skid and it wasnt intentional, i just left it abit late to be stopping. Undue noise fine or something along those lines?

Dec last year I took off from sum lights and had sum wheel spin through 1st and then chirp into 2nd and kept going.. got pulled over and fined for “not having full control of the vehicle”.. so I take it to court and the cop changed it to “careless driving”.. the law is if your tires don’t have 100% traction you can be fined for “not having full control of a vehicle” or “careless driving”

hmmm well i think from where they were my number plate was visible. They will probably turn it around on me and say it was in an act of hooning.

if they will get you for anything it would probably just be reckless driving or something like that.

[Craved]

the only way they can get you is if they can prove that it was intentional! but you may have to fight it in court, but easy out was to stop for orange/red signal as going through them is also an offence!!!

but you have to fight it, a mate of mine got done for doing a burnout is his brothers sprinter!! the fine said that it was spinning the front wheels, pretty funny seeing it is a rear wheel drive car!!! thats what having p plates on your car does to coppers

If the loss of traction is for 5 seconds or more, its a burnout (negligent driving, sustained loss of traction). Anything less is negligent driving, and they will do you for it. A friend lost traction for 2 seconds, and the cops jumped straight on him for negligent driving, loss of traction.

If they didnt book you on the spot though, I dont think much will happen, and then you could possibly argue you had to in order to stop in time (assuming it was an orange light or something?).

But it's always fun watching a copper smoken it up in front of your as they turn around to bust someone for something else

and they love it too!

but then again who wouldn't

[Warpspeed]

Naaaaaaaaa.

The cops have it all wrong.

From where they were, they could not possibly have seen the dog that ran out into the road right in front of you. You slammed on the brakes, ................right ?

[Duncan]

Yeah, I copped neg driving while visiting ACT for giving it a bit from the lights in a wet night.

[Mick Trainer]

May I ask why you compression locked the car aproaching a set of lights? What did u do throw it back to first on approach? Or do you mean that u locked the brakes apon aproach?

Just curious.

Warpspeed,

Oh dont worry it is illegal put other in danger for the sake of a dog. That won't save u.

Yeah I was going to say the same,so did you downshift to quick and lock the wheels a bit.

While you'r thinking about it .....get in some practice on your downchanging

[EnricoPalazzo]

I drifted around a corner and got done for excessive noise plus smoke

[51jay]

and rightly so.

[sweetr33]

well i shifted down to second from 3rd and let the clutch out too quickly and at about 60 k's. ass shot sideways and the rest is history
