So Who Done It? :p

[Hanaldo]

Mate was at the cruise when it happened. Apparently it was lols. Cops were everywhere and got a hold of one of the maps and were just tailing them. Was an extremely stupid thing to do IMHO. Giving all Skyline drivers a bad name.

Wrecking the previously positive image that we had in the public eye?

Thing is, lots of people don't know that you're not allowed to accelerate quickly. So it was probably innocent enough.

[meat]

I accelerate fairly quickly.. But I'm in a white VT station wagon.. No one cares about me, because I'm one of a million.

[Nak]

Oh shit yeah i just remebered while said drivers were waiting on the the tilt tray trucks to come and claim their rides and recieve the reckless driving paperwork

a commy did a burnout at the lights 5-8 meters from where they were stopped and im not talk a chirp i mean sat the brakes stuff to show up someone in an fc rx7 the did the cops in the territoy go after them

nope just sat there with the two pulled up nissans

[Blizzerd]

That's fkd.

[meat]

That's because cops are biased dream boats.

@Blizz Wouldn't be surprised.

[Nak]

the part i didnt understand was there were 2 bikes and a territoy and total 4 cops how come they didnt just send the ford off after the commy

[izharGT-T]

Farkin cops, there was a situation in northbridge where I was stopped for "braking hard" at the traffic lights, accused of speeding, they gave me a breath test and flash their lights all around me car but the weird thing was the farkin cops were on the other side of the intersection n they sed I was lucky coz they ddnt have their "radar off" pfft what a load of bullshit

At least you stopped and didnt speed up like I saw some dickhead in his VX commodore today.

Saw it was orange, from a fair distance and just planted it..

[Everlong-S13]

I don't think the cops got a hold of the map, I rocked up to the cruise on time and there wern't any maps left! Plus they cops dissapeared before the first meet point.

The guy who got hoonedlawed in the 34 had invited me to the meet itself. I was confused as to why he didn't rock up to the first meetpoint.

Mostly well behaved cruise apart from a white 33 who's accelerator must have got stuck and accidentally did a 100m skid.

[bubba]

He accidentally the whole pedal?

[Mayuri Krab]

try it infront of a cop and report back on your findings

I once used close to 100% throttle accelerating from the lights on Tonkin Highway & there was a Police car a couple of cars back.

Was in a 4 speed slush box Corolla though...

[PewPew]

After almost a year, this case was finally heard by the Magistrates Court earlier this week.

To clear up any confusion, according to the police statement a maximum speed of 80km/h was reached by both vehicles prior to being pulled over. Excessive speed was NOT a factor.

After being offered and declining a plea bargain to downgrade charges from reckless driving to excessive noise, the case went before a magistrate and was promptly dismissed due to lack of evidence - the 2 officers didn't even bother showing up!

So after 5 trips to the Magistrates Court, both the co-accused and myself can put this behind us!

Also worth noting, the lawyer who's services I used was top notch - would definitely recommend him. PM me for details.

[Char]

Police spend whole night following a car cruise. 2 cars taken for taking off too fast.

Great success.

Meanwhile in Armadale 100 people drink driving.

[scarvo]

what a load of rubbish. honestly i see nothing wrong with accelerating to the speed limit itself, i think this was a case of traffic cops with a carrot up their arse! now every overly concerened driver on the road (that may or may not know what a skyline is) is gonna crack it or give us dirty looks at lights!

maybe they should actually concentrate on geting rid of cars that are in extremely shabby condition spitting out black smoke and have panels hanging off them smoke coming out the bonnet rather then people who actually care about their cars!

Sounds like they took off fast from the traffic lights & did 0 to speed limit (or there about) in 4 - 5 seconds instead of the usual 1/2 minute most road snails does in their Camrys.

& now general sheep public in their Camrys are outraged due to this accelerating too fast from the ligts...

O/T but Tonkin highway has a 100km/h limit with traffic lights!

^^^this is true but only 80kph at the traffic lights themselves

[mickey]

FYI speed allegedly reached of 80km/h was in a 70km/h zone. Police probably were a little over eager and will pay for it Of course even though the charges were dismissed the accused still had no use of their vehicle for 28 days for which no compensation can be sought.

& people wonder why I hate the hoon laws...

[Fornoyd20]

Cops are fkd and the whole hoon law is absolute bs..not even a hour ago I was driving the misses aurion and sped up to make the lights not knowing that there was a police bike on the other side of the lights and a unmarked cop car to the left of me. Ill be the first to say it was stupid as speeding is dumb but wtf if I was in my 32 for sure I would of been pulled over and done for sure as I hit 75 in a 60 zone. These laws are shit and bias and will only get more stupidly ridiculous until imports are a memory and ford and Holden rule the streets..bogans f*ktards and a % of the general population r shit drivers but there's no idiot laws for them so where's the fairness and equality for every person if you are judged by your car..

So you did 75 in a 60 zone and didn't get a fine/pulled over and you are complaining?

Yes it is true that cops profile people by the cars they drive. The reason you probably did not get pulled over is because they wouldn't have paid any attention to the car, possibly scanned the plates and realised it belonged to a 25(or whatever) year old woman with no prior fines. If you are in your R32, there is a certain stigma, and they will go out of their way to run your plates and check your car, it is the way it is when you own an import. Trust me, Holdens have it worse then us, because most of the f**kwits who do up those cars don't spend the time and effort we do, and dodge everything, like cutting/heating springs. The only example I can think of right now.

It all comes down to the way you drive. I have had my r34 for over a year now and I am yet to be pulled over, (with the exception of booze busses) and it is by no stretch of the imagination legal. I even had my underglow (yes, I do have it, come at me bro) earth out on something and turn on without the switch, and still didn't get pulled over. Cops have U-turned at lights and cut across lanes and turned the wrong way, basically gone out of their way just to get behind me and run my plates. After running my plates to find out I haven't got any infringements, then they pull up beside me and eye off the car. Then the most amazing thing happens... THEY f**k OFF.

Yes it is true, if you were in your 32, you probably would have got pulled over, but certainly not hoon lawed. You would have got $150 and 3 demerits, and when you talked shit to the cops, then they would have started to look around your car and possibly canary you.

You get these idiots who say they get pulled over for nothing (and I'm sorry to the people that this actually happens to, even though it is a very small %) then abuse and be straight out dream boats to the police, and then complain they get a yellow sticker and have a cry against hoon laws. I know a lot of people who are police, and I have had the opportunity to converse with their partners and others in the force. They are just doing a job, and 99.9% of the time, if you are nice to them and not a prick, they will let you away with obvious yellow stickers. They also said this: there are "cops" in the force, and even they (the police) label them as cops. The ones that will pull you over for no reason and find any tiny little thing to defect you for and make your life hell, no matter how clean or defect-less your car may be. And the police hate these cops, because it gives them all a bad name.

You see!?!? There is a small percentage of import owners who give us decent drivers a bad name, and cops have exactly the same problem!!

Moral of the story here is, if you don't drive like a tool, and don't modify too excessively, you should be fine.

I have a straight through exhaust, no cat, no mufflers - it is extremely loud. You know how I don't get pulled over? I don't redline it in traffic.
