Hoon Taskforce Southeast Suburbs

[Jack-]

Lol didnt watch it just saw the preview.. just a heads up to people living out that way

[Dan_J]

Sounds like late night shoot-em-ups will be common place soon, and my place is opposite the industrial estate frequented by drifters... Time for steel plate fencing?

sorry..... need to bin my straight pipes for a muffler

[Sunkist]

you'll still get shot at

[xALmoN]

Oooooo create cardboard cars out of boxes and make engine/flutter noises pretending to drive them around...

Or get remote control drift cars and drive them around the area, doing burnouts etc. hehe...

lets do it. we can chip in to hire a bus too.

I used to go on HYW for 3 years, never had 1 defect, go figure. They even escort/clear way for me every time i need to teach a Rex, Evo, Rota, V6supercharge and V8 a lesson.

(potentially in before lock )

[gdogzgtr]

I've worked about 15 extra TAC funded shifts with TMU this year and not one single member has even had a second look at an import to simply pull over. They generally only pull someone over they have found doing something wrong to fine.

I can't believe how many stupid drivers there are out there, repeat drink drivers, suspended, disqualified I have almost impounded a car in each of those shifts for one of those or 45k+ over speed limit.

Eh don't be a dickhead on the road or to police and you'll be fine, not once in the 4 years of owning a import have i ever been pulled over for driving a import.

Yes i've been pulled while in my r33 but i was at fault [ Driving more than 100m in a bus lane ]

[xALmoN]

really?

1. i turn out of my house to get cat food for a starving cat, and i get pulled over for shits and giggles.

2. i got pulled over recently just for the cop to tell me how many demerit points i've got.

both times, i wasn't even speeding.

My bad, everyone's outlook on life should be limited to your experience.

[blah_blah]

Righto.

I spose all the times ive been pulled over, chased through traffic minding my own business drving like miss daisy was because they thought I was a drug dealer and not because of the car :rollseyes:

[Sunkist]

Lol or getting pulled over on Christmas Day for shits n giggles, then again a year later by 3 cop cars and 7 officers to tell me they thought my plates were home made? Both times doing nothing.

Guess I should stop being a dick to cops

[Birds]

Maybe we're driving too slow, being under the speed limit and all? I too was driving 5km/h slower than everyone else when Knox TMU went through 4 red light intersections to pull me over and state that they were pulling over anything with 4 round lights today (somehow I think the Euro Accords were safe). Yes, driving sensibly must be the issue at hand here.

[Dan_J]

honestly it seems to be more of a 'lucky dip' as such, although they wouldn't go to much effort just to pull over camry drivers

[Sunkist]

I don't even get looked at in the merc, I even cut one of the hwy patrol off the other day without realizing and still nothing

[blah_blah]

I don't even get looked at in the merc, I even cut one of the hwy patrol off the other day without realizing and still nothing

Put a Skyline bodykit on the Merc

Hahaha, I used to believe that for about 3 years. Up until this year... even a month ago.

Friday night, went out with a bunch of mates, on the way home on Springvale Road, crossing Princes Hwy, saw a bunch of cars on there at about 1am, so I thought I'll go have a look.

Turned left towards Sandown, doing the speed limit, just looking at other cars, before I got past the 7/11, a highway petrol was sitting on the side of the road. Drove past him doing speed limit, then he pulled out, and while I was doing a legal U-turn along with a few other cars, he cut off 2 cars in front of me just to pull me over...

Got told to pop my bonnet, I was polite and all, they checked everything, closed my bonnet and defected me for height..... 90mm?

So to those who thinks be nice and don't break the law and you'll be fine... That's a big fat lie!

[Birds]

It's sad that people don't believe it until it actually happens to them, but worse is people telling other import owners they must be acting up to receive a defect.

Have more faith in your online enthusiast friends than police with quotas to meet. Most of us have no reason to lie about police activity and would take it on the chin if we were doing something deserving of over-handed tactics.

[adis]

My import cars are long gone.

Reason? Pulled up 16 times in r33 and s15. Not once was i doing anything wrong, not once did i lose a point.

One officer said to me "look at the car you drive" which tella you all you need to know.

Im a Mature age driver with clean driving record (12 points).

So that crap do the right thing and you will be okay is rubbish.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

What will essentially happen here, is a stake out where no industrial drifters turn up, so you have a bunch of bored out of their brains police standing in designated areas for 3 hours, who need to show that the operation was a success. Along come the hapless enthusiasts meeting for a cruise...bam...they find their scapegoat and something to do for the next 2 hours because writing defects for ridiculously arbitrary items is better than standing around, waiting hours for people who do illegal shit to turn up...and never come...because VicPol intelligence is an oxymoron.

mother of god! it's..... perfect....
