my first defect

[silver gts-t]

coming home from work

got pulled over on king georges road

my front tyres were worn on the inside, which i never checked. stupid me.

so $78 for fine + new tyres + pink slip

lucky me :Bang:

cop said he wouldnt look over the rest of the car

ahh well i reckon if it wasnt the tyres he would have found something else wrong

[Sl!m]

Bad luck dude !

[CerealKiller]

but he did pull you over for driving a Skyline right?

[GTRsean]

If you drive a performance car they always pick on you and ask you about people youv'e never heard of before, then RBT you and look around your ride.

Never happened when I had my commondoor!!! I wonder why!!!

[silver gts-t]

yeh i always get pulled over, im used to it.

got pulled over for no reason

changed tyres today $300 the pair, got a mate to do the pink slip $20

gotta go to the RTA tomorrow morning

I dunno about driving it 'right' but you'll know it when you see it done 'wrong'.

sorry the right part was rhetorical...but did the copper did pull you over for driving a Skyline?

I know it happens, it's injustice but what can we do about it.

[Tosh]

do they normally ask for your licence, go to their car and come back???

[NewKleer]

thats what happened the first time i was pulled over for no reason (other time there was a reason) - think its just to check anything outstanding, then he came back with rbt (didnt check the car) and after i blew 0.00 (presumably) i was on my way

[Tosh]

I think it's mainly to check the car is yours and not stolen as skylines do get stolen quite a bit.

I think that's a good thing

they're doing their best to make sure cars are legit and recover stolen vehicles

[R33vit]

What tosh said

[silver gts-t]

i agree also but i dont like how i get fined $78 just to get told i need 2 front tyres

i never noticed the wear on the inside of the tyre, if i did i would have changed them.

a simple "you need tyres mate" and the defect alone is enough

i get paranoid like if i step out of the car they gonna shoot my ass

:uzi: :uzi:

[Craved]

i always get out and have as much of a chat with them as i can.. got me outta a few things that way!

[T0nyGTSt]

Sometime it's best to stay in the car and act meek.

Ask if you can get out of the car and just have a chat - there's gonna be that 5% who are just not personable and well... you get that.

But I've been done bad (ie. 30 over) and the officer was polite, charming, even apologetic and you know what... they're people too.
