Cops Clamping Down On Imports Or Is It All Hype?

[LANDSCRIBBLE]

only been pulled over twice, was on green p's on both occasions and caught speeding by unmarked cars (both around 8-9pm on main roads with no traffic ahead, i might add).

after breath test/license/lap around the car, i was on my way.. another time they rocked up beside me in an unmarked car and said something like "keep it up and you wont have ya licence much longer" and off they went.

hype i think, the amount of bogan commodore drivers around here keep the police more than occupied i think.

Straight from the cops mouth last week, "we have been told to specifically pull modified skylines over an take them off the road"

Every car i have owned basically has been defected, even standard. i have been to regency without changing 1 thing and passed !

I have been doing the speed limit driving in a strate line got pulled over for driving suspiciously and defected.

Its even better when you see them pull shit box 70 model cars over cos they been driving like a dick, rusted out clearly defectable only to fine them an not defect them.

Its really not even worth trying to drive an import anymore =/

Only ever got pulled over once in the 34R but every 2nd time I go out on the bike........regardless, they've always let me go

You must be respectfull to a cop regardless of who's in the right.

Bottom line is; if you are or look young, or if you drive a Skyline and drive like a dick, you will get pulled over.........not a matter of if, just a matter of when........what happens next is sometimes up to you.

I agree. I have owned my 34R for almost 3 years now, drive it everywhere as a daily and have never been pulled over because i drive normally on the street.

And lets say its a lot more modified than just cooler and exhaust.

We get picked on cause the polititions know we pay the fines-not the fault of the Popo as they are just doing what they are told to do

I drive past the Port Adelaide Police Complex daily to and from work and live not far from the Henley station and I don't get a second look from them. Either because I'm old(er) or the car is fairly stock looking....?

A good mate of mine is a copper based around Norwood and he says he has had NO directive to target imports or any other particular group.

cant agree here - there are less of us and the communication is better, due to this forum and others

most commie drivers they ping are moccassin wearing rednecks who dont have electricity, let alone internet

Hahahahah likewise, when i saw them i had to buy them .

[KARPSTARR]

I've just recently bought my 33 gts-t and haven't been pulled over which i found surprising as my car is bright orange and i've gone past probly about 20 cops the last couple of weeks as i work just behind the intersection of grand junction rd and addison rd so theres always cops about i've gotten a couple looks but they just dont seem interested which is weird because as i said my car is bright orange and i have P-plates up aswell, so in my opinion its just hype =)

I once got pulled because I was wearing my hat backwards...... no effing joke! Cop apologized to me after looking at my license and realizing I was in my 30's. His exact word to me were "I saw the backwards cap and assumed you were a P plater without your plates"

IMO, its mostly hype. Just don't drive like a dick.

Dohmar is correct on both points.

Think back, things only got REAL bad after the magill road accident.

Police sometimes sus them to see if its stolen. I cant think of 1 member here off the top of my head who got stopped, just to ensure it wasnt stolen, and thats all it was.

I was stopped by the cops cos they thought my stag was stolen but it turned out that the coper put the wrong rego number in

Hey Guys, this might not be the right place for this but.... I understand now that P platers cannot drive Turbos and as I have not yet got my p plates... (getting them on monday, due to me being lazy, god i wish i hadn't been) And despite these laws i want one anyway.... Just wanted to know how they are gonna realise that i got my licence before september 4?...

[skwiz]

I would assume that it would be in the system that you recieved your license at a certain date, and simply ask you to rev it.

Then bam.
