Black Flagged?

[Beelzebub89]

Morning all,

So I was on my way to work this morning and just as I'm about to park the car the Toyota Aurion throws its red n blues on. I couldn't think of what I had done wrong so I pull over and two plain clothes cops get out. They identified themselves and showed me their badges etc.

They asked if I knew why I had been pulled over, I said I had no idea and they told me I had been driving erratically . So I'm waiting for the ticket to come and he starts asking me about my driving history n whether I've ever been to court for anything. Now I'm really confused.

He takes my license and does the license and rego check, everything is fine as expected. When he comes back he asks me for a contact number? Seriously WTF now. Give him my mobile and he tells me that they have black flagged me. But if he was a traffic cop they would of fined me and probably taken my car!

Does anyone know what this means?

I assume it is something that will come up during a rego check on the car and give them more reason to pull me over for random breath tests..

Can anyone confirm?

i was in a mates car over in darra brisbane

the cops pulled over his 86 and advised him that he is black flagged

he asked how / why?

the cop then said you were drifting in such and such area we have it on camera

no fine though..................just black flagged and i think he just wanted to tell us that

Sounds like its just another excuse for them to pull me over then lol. I didn't get a fine or anything so I guess its not that bad..

[DAS KAMU]

mate they need to pull there head in

but you should see the beatings they get that dont make it to the news

i have a freind in workcover and 100's of claims come in a week

majority of the assults is during writing a fine

go figure

it just means you have to return to the pits and serve a drive through penalty.

10 second penalty yeah? or stop go?

[Beelzebub89]

Lol exactly what I thought when he told me. WTF I didn't hit anyone!

[UWISSH!]

means that ur car has been reported previously to police about driving in an unsafe way, most probably by an off duty police officer. just be prepared to get pulled over very often now and have ur car searched

[Beelzebub89]

Well it wasn't a previous thing the cops that pulled me over told me THEY had just black flagged me. I don't think I was driving dangerously. I definetly wasn't speeding. The only thing I can think of is I went from the outside lane of a 3 lane carriageway to the inside lane. But I indicated properly each time it wasn't a massive swoop across all lanes effort.

Ahwell f**king bullshit I'll just have to be extra extra careful from now on. Any idea how long the black flag lasts?

stuff it all, change your number plates and the black flag is lifted.

A friend of mine bought a skyline from a drug dealer (didnt know at the time), but he was getting pulled over left right and centre. One copper asked him "do you have any drugs in your car again?", held a gun at him and told him to get out of the car and keep his hands visible. Then he realised its not the same person and advised him to change his plates so he wasn't mistaken again....

[R33GTRKid]

basically when ever a cop types in your plates and it brings up your name, they are able to place notes against your license details (not the vehicle)

Its a cool old skool punk band.

Or some old rebel group from somewhere.

lol, all depends on if you can show the marshall exactly where you hit to opposing vehicle and if indeed that was forward of the "b" pillar, and complain that he blocking blah blah blah.....

nah race control will make a decision based on TV replay's in consultation with the driving standards steward.

Yeah!! Henry Rollins ftw!!

Yep my car was flagged as well from when it was stolen, they had my personalised plates and I was a "person of interest" I think it's been sorted out now. Saying that though it was 3 years after the car was stolen that I was first intercepted about it :S

Depends on how big a mark you leave lol. Doesnt work during lapsprints though~
