It's up to the discretion of the officer. I didn't get a fine when I got defected they just said go clear it.

Yeah I know, I've been defected a few times and always get let go of the fine

But if you do get fined, just curious how much it is. Because $500 is alot of mulla

[Leroy Peterson]

was it a big HWY meet? day/night?

[Odium]

It was a Daytime meet at Carribean Gardens, Police were informed of the event beforehand so they were aware and ok'd it and promised no "move along" orders.

The meet was organised by the group HWY and it was a JDM / Euro Show n Shine Meet... in Knox... after informing pettets station of the location of a bunch of modified jdm cars. *sigh*

A girl on my FB has a sil80 (I think) and got done for $500 fine + RWC Required for Too Low and a Cracked Windscreen... I thought you needed 3 things for a rwc?

The one at Carribean Gardens

Pettit parked at the exit/entrance and it was defects galore

This is one of many FB pics I've seen on my news feed in the last day

Though you lose your licence, a drink driving offence of between 0.05 & 0.07 is a $367

And going through a red light is $361

Good to see the government see a loud exhaust as more dangerous

Nah if its a structural component(suspension) they can issue a major. And whatever fine they see fit..

[kaitoukid]

Such a fine would indeed be a kick to the balls.

[Sunkist]

I think the maximum is $5000, so if they really wanted to be a cunt, they could

[Sunkist]

And it also goes back to the thread about the dumbass doing 180kph with a full car in the wet.

All these people know full well that their cars are not road worthy, yet they choose to congregate in a large group, IN KNOX, and then cry when they get done.

Genius'

[Odium]

There's a reason I stay away from these sorts of meets nowdays I'm too old for that kinda stress...

I still drive my car 300-350km in peak hour every week and I'm never hassled (haven't been pulled over properly in years) because I don't drive like an idiot and draw attention to myself... Hell just the other week I cruised straight through a Defect / Sheriff station that was set up on Boronia Road... while on the way to Import Monster to get my new shockworks fitted... Rolled through with the clutch in like a baws

[Sunkist]

That's exactly what I mean. If you are going to have illegal mods, then common sense would be to avoid those highly targeted areas, not to go there and become a sitting duck

[Leroy Peterson]

have been wanting to check out carribean gardens... will have to go in the astra... and get done for indicator stalk on the wrong side.

surely to actually get the fine you have to have been a knob to the cop.

its like the dick head tax.

[Sunkist]

Lol dick head tax. When are we doing another BBH tony Alvin and jono(our resident nips)

[Count Grantleyish]

Morning everyone.

SIMON

$603 for a loud XR8 my mate got done about a year ago.

f**ked i know.

[Sunkist]

But I wonder how they come to a figure. They're always random numbers like above and not a round figure

[Leroy Peterson]

When writing up the fine inside the car they probably look at each other and say, "how much was your electricity bill this quarter?"

[HEKT1K]

I was polite to the cop but still got a $305 fine
