Ten Four Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) Hi, most of you know, I have a black R33 GTR and I'm on RED Ps. I just got pulled over on the eastern bypass for a "random" breathliser. Blew 0.00, then the dickhead proceeded to tell me I had no P plates up. So I pointed to them and he says theyr illegal. I have white P plates with the P written in RED. Apparently this is illegal. Same goes for green. Has to be green plate and white P. As a result, I've been fined $100 for being "Provisional driver type 1A. Fail to display Red P plate (first 6 months)". Get a f@#$ing life, I AM DISPLAYING RED P PLATES, JUST LIKE THE ONES DPI GIVE YOU WHEN YOU PASS YOUR TEST!! What was even more bs, was the senior officer came up and then started chatting about skylines, mentioning how his brother in law has a R34 and how I service it at XSpeed with Hanson cause I have a sticker there. FFS I HELL WANT TO TALK TO YOU WHILST YOUR JUNIOR OFFICER FINES ME!!!! Then the young f@#$wit asks to open my bonnet, so I do and the can't sticker me for anything cause my car is totally legal, bastards.

Tony de Wonderful Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) Probably just jealous of your car. What did you do rob a bank to buy and insure it?

Crackfox Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 i thought it was $150 and 2 demerits for not displaying P plates? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/289685-warning-to-all-p-platers/#findComment-4849604 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Four Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 What pisses me off the most was that if I wasn't showing any P plates, I would have been waved through... ^ Maybe? I was displaying the "illegal" ones so not totally nothing...

Dorigecko Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 YO. 100 bucks a plate if ya don't have em up. no demerits. just fines. the red plate with white lettering is what you have to display, as it lets pork know if you're on curfew or not. that's why they're illegal. DPI had a shortage of the new plates for a while (which is retarded. around northam when they came out, no one could get them, and as a result coppers stung shitloads of people). advice: take it on the chin and get some aunger-brand electro-statics. and shit goddamn dude, congrats on getting gt-r on ya p's. what area are you in?

-Dukes- Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 You got off lightly... I'd hate to see your blood pressure if they gave you a yellow sticker... It comes with the territory of being on your provisional license, the cops will nit-pick you for anything they can... it's suppose to scare P-Platers straight, I'm not saying your a bad motorist, but that was their way of making sure you know not to test the law. I speak from experience, I haven't been pulled over the last 2 years I've had my full license, but I still shit my pants when I see the police, hahaha Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/289685-warning-to-all-p-platers/#findComment-4849805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
That_timothy Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Yeah I jus got hit with my second of these fines, and there'r no demerits, for the people wondering. Figure it's easier to just drive the folk's car without them than transfer the plates from car to car, since getting caught in your skyline without plates is big f**king trouble I imagine =D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/289685-warning-to-all-p-platers/#findComment-4849857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Four Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Haha, it wasn't the fact I got angry that I'd been fined, its just what I was fined for. When I drove up to them and did the breathiliser etc, I was calm - knowing I didn't have any drinks and my car was totally legal... Man I've had other cops not mention a single thing about them too :S Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/289685-warning-to-all-p-platers/#findComment-4850358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanaldo Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yeh that sucks man, stupid law. Funny though haha, when i spotted you driving down the great eastern yesterday i actually thought to myself "he still has the white P-Plates, i wonder if he gets in trouble for that" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/289685-warning-to-all-p-platers/#findComment-4850664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R DIRTY 3 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Are you going to take it further or just pay the fine? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/289685-warning-to-all-p-platers/#findComment-4851051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Four Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) Probably going to just pay it, I looked it up and I am technically wrong. However, the copper told me they had been phased out for a year but I've only had my license for 5 months and in that time I bought numerous sets of P plates (for diff cars, cbf transferring) and some were white with red P and others red P white background.... How am I supposed to know :S I just bought whatever was available, usually from sevos and such.....

JonnoHR31 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 the plates have been like that since june last year (would be before you got your license if your still on reds) so theres really no excuse to still be driving around with white background plates. you were in the wrong and got fined for it, thats life Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/289685-warning-to-all-p-platers/#findComment-4851320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
