I'm kind of worried about getting my first speeding fine since getting the 34 cause i just really like giving it a bit here and there since my old car wasn't turbo just love that feeling of getting on boost sure hope i dont accidentally get pinged going close to 100 in like a 70 if i get a bit too right foot happy although 95% of the time i drive normally and at the speed limit so shouldn't have an issue i hope

mate there are plenty of opportunities to take your car out on the track if you want to give her a boot - a good session will cost you less than the speeding ticket, and all you need is a helmet (i think you can borrow from qr), long pants and a good attitude

Yea. That way it'll make us look better too in the long run!

But if you're driving a 180, doesnt matter. They're meant for skids and drift anyway (j/k). HAHAHA

Unfortunately the days of getting out of a ticket due to officers faults are long gone! I remember mum telling me how she used to get dad and my cousin many moons ago off of speeding tickets etc because one little detail was wrong like a number, address or type of car.

These days officers dont have to get your details 100% which is just crazy! If they cant copy your licence how can they be sure they have gotten you speeding under the correct guidlines and operating proceedures.

I had a parking ticket once which i challanged, because the distance i was parked away from the corner was 3 inches too many, the officer was gone and i didnt have a tape measure!!! My old car was a green vrx lancer 01.VRX sedan and they wrote down a black coupe with VRX.01! Couldnt get much wrong than that!

My friend is an officer and they have to go through so many tests, fitness, typing lol lol, swimming, mental evaluation yet they dont get tested on how to copy down a licence!

well i successfully got out of a ticket about 4 years ago

he filled my name out wrong, wrong car color wrong rego number, wrong date, wrong street, didnt write the speed / points deduction (when i rang the station he then increased my speed by another 5k's an hour) asked to speak to his superior, informed him how unprofessional the police officer was and that he failed to follow even the slightest bit of police protocol (refused to show me the speed gun with my speed on it) cops says ill cancel the ticket, the officer will be reprimanded for it..

maybe i was just lucky tho

are you sure the ticket was for you...?

maybe you just randomly picked up somebody else's ticket...

i think it may have been easier just to list the things he got right

[defari]

^^ lol yeah it was for me, i was heading toward him, he went past me, did a u-bolt and he pulled me over..

the only things he got right was the time of infringement and the make of my car.. + also his name..

he was such a kent about it, asked to see the speed read out, he refused so i copped it on the chin, rang his station to speak to someone in charge.. the prick who gave me the ticked was put on the phone and he says to me, oh yeah i got your speed reading wrong u were actually doing 5km's more than i said. I said to him, mate you just can't change it now, put your senior officer on.. explained it to him, he said mate ill cancel the ticket and ill reprimand the officer who gave it to you..

booyah

That's really good as it sounds like that particular cop was out for you for no real reason. Generally the coppers are good blokes but there are the tossers amongst them. My brother in law is actually a police officer and he says there are some serious tools in the force but at least in general their pretty good

[astrotristan]

not trying to take over the thread - but on the topic of popo, i found this thread on ns

cop crashed my car

[defari]

^^ i read the link.. something seems sus tho... the whole "it was being impounded so the cop took it for a squirt" shouldn't it have been towed away?

[dan_the_man]

I dunno but let us discuss it here and make our own conclusions.
