[ghettoracer]

to low, tyres ,bov,fmic,etc etc i recon he was gettin a big hard one writing out the fines and the defect (eyes roll leg buckles a bit when he slapes em on ya window) ,,,,,,,,,asked them if they pull many skylines over they laughed a bit and said we pull over every one we see.

Ok so i got pulled over tonight. Wasnt doing anything stupid, had a mate with me carrying dinner.

Previously go done many occasions when i first bought the car and from 242rwkw it is pretty much stock now.

Ok so the guy (who shall not be named - yet everyone knows him) looks under my bonnet. Everything is legit, Airbox with FMIC. FMIC is engineered (last defect cost me $3k)

He asked me for my engineers cert, which i had on me.

Looks in my car, i dont have a boost controller/ecu/steering wheel/gauges etc

He makes a joke of my "aftermarket ipod".

Next he asks if my ride height was legal. I told him yes which (3 months ago i just got it checked by vicroads)

He goes to his car and gets a rod with a wheel at the end (what vicroads people use).

This rod passes my bodykit on front/side/rear. Yet the wheel hit a resonator which a put in 2 months ago.

He said it was too low then went back to his car, 10-15 mins and came out with a shiny yellow sticker for my car, a $300 fine (Driving modded vehicle)

Minor defect with a rwc cert.

I thought a yellow sticker was for 3 or more defects?

i have to rwc because my car is a bit low, does this mean if someone had a taillight globe out the officer is allowed to give them a fine/rwc cert?

Ive played by the books (legal mods) but because of the area i live in, i deal with this(getting pulled over) many times.

Your thoughts?

cnt of a move. i have seen people get majors for quite a few things, including height to fix but no fine.
