Has Any1 Been Pulled Over By A Vicroads Van?

[Phatboy]

Something another forum member brought up reminded me.

I see quite a few of these VICROADS vans on the way to work. Usually I believe they check out trucks, so I never paid them any attention, but has anyone been pulled over and inspected by one of these things? Does anyone apart from the cops have the right to?

Thanks.

i was under the intention that the vicroads cars can pull u up but focus more on the trucks/heavy vehicles

and the police focus mainly on cars

but still can pull you up if they wanted to, its vicroads they are the ones that have all the rules for the legalities on anything on the road in victoria so im guessing yeh they could and it would be a lot worse than the police pulling you up

And i was under the impressions that the ONLY car you must stop for is the Police... i wouldnt pull over for a vic roads car.

^^^^ Agreed, I wouldn't pull over for them, I only stop for red and blue lights, not gay purple ones

[bombtrack]

I tend to agree with Kris.

If they really want to get me, they can send me a notice in the mail. I don't think I would pull over for them unless I was instructed to by police.

They enforce heavy vehicles. I wouldn't stop for them nor would I expect anyone else to.

"on the news tonight - vicroads in highway chase as car refuses to pull over while they have some fairy lights flash"

ahah yeah i wouldnt pull over

I've seen one of the vicroads "highway patrol" cars on the M1.. they pulled over a big ass truck. Have not seen a vicroads "van" before, just the cars with purple flashing lights.

pretty sure the vans are just for accidents cause they have all the warning signs and that on them

years ago, they used to pull over cars especially modified ones but they stopped in the early 90s and only look after trucks since..

You might find them however when they do the big defect stations.

Where the have everyone from Police, EPA, VicRoads to the VTD and immigration people checking taxi's (which i found to be amusing at the time)

I've seen it on Dandy Rd before near caufield... massive operation.

Although who was looking @ what, i dont know.

AFAIK.... You are not required to pull over for anyone till you are sure, and believe it to be safe (or something along those lines). So interpret that as you will.

I once made a cop drive for 1.5k with lights and sirens on, to my house before i 'pulled over' in my drive way.... before he could read me his right act.

Oh and i'm working where they turn normal Chooktins and Commondoors into Police cars ATM (i saw the Girl's Blouse H3's getting their lights and stickers get put on).... and they have a few VW transporter vans and utes in the "to do queue". Along with countless other cars that aren't designed to turn corners.

I'll try and get some sneaky pics tomorrow.

Love your work Age.

VicRoads vans are not for breakdowns on citylink...

Citylink has their own vans for breakdowns and so on. Its covered by the tolls you pay id imagine

got tail gated by vic roads Dandy one time, was thinking to my self EPA for exhuast,

but the van in front of me was pouring out black smoke, vic roads sped up got infront of me purple lights on for the van.

worked with a guy who thought it would be a good idea to take his ICE decked out wagon to industrial area and pump music and skate around the area.

security doing his shifts told them to stop and leave, they just gave him cheek, he asked them two more times, and they got angry and vocaly abused him.

security guy called Vic roads and explained, they came down with tool's issued them a 'sound polution notice' and took out his head unit ....party over
