The Defected Thread...


Cubes

Recommended Posts

Father in-law got done during the week on his bike for:

To loud, LED number plate lights, non-compliance indicators, handle bars over 900mm and was also fined for a non ADR approved helmet because the 5 ticks on the sticker were no longer red, they were worn.

Police also questioned him as to which motor cycle gang he was with. He replied with a swift " It's called 'The cool kids motorbike gang' and sorry, but your not allowed".

Officer then took his helmet and stuck the defect sticker on his headlight and left him sitting there in the pouring rain. He is now fighting the fine for the helmet and is trying to find it but the officer hasn't logged it yet and its supposedly 'missing'

what sort of bike Jarrad....any pics?

If so, put them up in Wasteland for us.

Just had a run in with the same Officer that defected me earlier this year... he popped out of a sidestreet about 20 metres behind me as I was waiting at the lights to turn right and he went up right behind me and what do you know - pulls me over shortly after for an "RBT" - atleast this time he didnt ask to pop the bonnet straight away but actually breath tested me first unlike last time didnt breath test at all just went straight for the bonnet. So yeah, bonnet popped he went straight for the standard solenoid which is located at the standard position with the standard lines... had a good long look at it and gave the line coming out of it a wiggle and that was it, nothing to defect so off he goes. Thats enough excitement for me for today! lol

Thats good to hear Vu. Your car is tidy as. :)

ohh, you had the privelage to see a cop on the phone whilst driving?..

ive seen many eating, and drinking (n/alco) whilst driving..

i dont bother reporting it because youll get your ass done in for trying..

but im tempted to get out the camera, just for funny photos.

But what even happen when we do report it,

Does it even get looked at?

Does the officer even get questioned?

Iv seen an officer speed through 2 intersections turning lights on as they go through, all to end up pulling in to Macca's and goin through the drive through!

Make me laugh for a bit!

My dad has seen 2 cops steaming up the windows in the back seat, down at west beach!

Really unfair!!..........But i do say.... Makin Bacon

Hate to say it, but I've seen that myself also. :P

Yesterday, saw two cops sussing out my car driving past them doing 50 in a 50 zone ... when just immediately prior to that they just casually watched a porsche fly past them doing 80!!! That peeved me off to no end. Parked the car and got out as they slowly drove past me. I pointed in the direction of the Porsche and sarcastically told them "he went that way".

I had a run in with a cob just off Goulburn about a month ago, whilst coming back from a Wakefield trip. Honestly, he was pretty decent...Popped the hood and all. In the end, was just defected for my half cage and told to get an engineers cert - No fine, or canary.. If he wanted to , he could've made me tow the car back. So, my respect for these guys are there.

then again, on hindsight, he probably pitied me, a 30 something and driving a Honda Civic...LOL.

10/10 Yay!

My mate was pulled over for his tint.

Was told that he's not to have ANY tint on the front windows and only 35% on the rest.

He said that he asked for legal tinting which 35% was put on the fronts.

Cop said the rules have changed, no front tint at all and only 35% on the rears.

Not that tint doesn't help stop harmfull UV rays that cause cancer or anything :rofl:

Thought that I'd take the car for a drive down the bay to get desert and then a little drive to advertise the For Sale signs.

Now Two months ago I was done for being too low, which I understood etc....20mm :P oh well

But got pulled over on Saturday night on Rundle St because the BOV was too loud..... ???? ...... It's stock and haven't touched the car since regancy! :down: Now I have to waste everyones time and my money just to go back through for an entirely stock part which is asumed to be vented to the atmosphere! He even looked over the whole car and only got me for the BOV (thats stock) because he assumes its not standard!!! He followed all the lines and they were all plumbed in ???? :D Because its stock!

Fair or not fair? hmmmm lol

Yeah not fair mate. BOVs that are vented to the atmosphere are illegal. Stock BOVs are plumbed back in and are of course legal. Ive read this in a few different places.
