I have got bloody 4 points left

After i finished work in northbridge one night when i had my commodore i was going near the stop sign out the front of Rosie Ogrady's at 4am in the morning. I crawled through the stop sign sooo slow the pedestrian walked through it quicker than me... the cops didn't care though they wanted a complete stop....which i guess the sgin does say..... i think they were being a bit harsh on me though when they gave me a $250 fine and 3 points!!!

Other points lost for doing 110kmh on the freeway....gets me every bloody time!!

And yourselves? and cops given you hard times and over done fines?

The last 2 days the 6PR have had talk-back about street cars and illegal racing.

The public have been making a ruckas about all the noise and the particular meeting points, while the police are giving their perspective and their strategy to combat it. Particularly operation canary, cb and RF radio intercepts and cracking down on cruising.

Its worth a listen.

Yeh the last little "incident" i had. Cost me like 11,000 (thank god for insurance) and then the cops decided to throw 3 points 150 in just to add insult to injury.

Oh well dont need to speed this weekend. Gonna get all my rocks off on the track and i might even be able to try out my new "intermediate" throttle control skills:D

3 levels of throttle control by Shaun,

Beginner: floor all the way up till hittin of curb

Intermediate:Almost hit curb but mange to level out

expert: car does what u tell it to with no arguments

I understand the public being annoied at the level of noise at some re-group or meet points. There are some absolute tools out there who think that blasting their 130db sound system or revving their engine whilsts parked/stationary is cool.

What I do not agree with is cops cracking down on cruising. What gives them the right to target a group of rosd users who choose to drive together? What gives them the right to tell us where and when we can drive, afterall, who is it that pays for the roads and for govt. (Police - Transport Dept.) departments???

Sure, crack down on street racing, but for people that are crusing on public roads and not doing anything illegal...get stuffed.

No points lost only 1 $50 fine for 7kph over the limit that Wed. night meeting at the motorplex we had late last year early this year.

I'm a good boy:D

I agree with you HKS. But what the constable was saying was that people usually use the cruise to meet up with others and race during or after the cruise. I totally disagree with this.

Anyway, he went on to say that he knows that not everyone behind the wheel of a performance vehicle will be a problem on the roads, but the nature of the crackdown will be aimed at everyone. He said that it will be unfortunate for those who are innocent but they will keep a hardline on this. How unfair is that?

[optical]

yeh how 'unfortunate', have a yellow sticker....

funny when they aint payin the bill..........
