Sounds like to cop was in a shitty mood & took it out on you, coz he got the graveyard shift.

Given the facts from your story, If you do get summoned & told your story & the Triple S driver saw it the same way, it would be hard for them to to prove otherwise.

The only thing I think they could have got you for was speeding or 'unnecessary need for acceleration..something or rather'. I wouldnt fret too much.

If you are being completely honest with your account of how it happened, and you really do have a faultless gold license, then I dont think you have anything to worry about. If you are asked to attend court, give a truthful statement on what happened im sure a judge will let you off with a warning.

Honesty is the best policy

Firstly wait for the letter in the mail.

90 in a what zone? I wouldn't mention the speed if you were over the limit. Hope u got the other guys number to help you make up a credible story. More people vs cop will help in your letters of appeal.

Also don't quote me on this, but I heard it may be illegal to overtake in the left? Can anyone confirm? or just rumour.

FYI, I got a letter from the IPB recently in response to a fine I was disputing saying that they have the authority to cancel an offence in the following situations:-

1) First offence

2) You have had no offences for a minimum of (get this) 10 years.

So if you are clean, then write the IPB a nice letter quoting your previous driving history. Do this a few times if it gets rejected. Court only gets involved way way way down the track.

I've never heard of anything like that? Attending court for a matter is a long and cumbersome process... the cop who stopped you has no influence on whether it goes to court.

Im pretty certain If the left hand lane is merging its who ever is infront at the time when the road merges has right of passage, other car has to to give way.

the rta states that you shouldnt go over the speed limit under ANY circumstances. if you were below the limit, you should be fine if you explain what happened truthfully. your perfect driving record should also serve as an reflection of your driving history, and indicates you're unlikely to be involved in a "organised street race".

well when the cop pull us over he gave us a note each that say, i need to attend court for organzie illegal street racing..but no fine or anything else. most people say that if the copper fine me for street racing, they will taken my car no question ask. is this true?

also one of my friend told me, that i have to be racing with someone for more than one intersection and the cop have to follow ..... b4 they can fine me for street racing, is this true?

no ive heard of them pulling more than one person over.

as a last resort i say be honest, dont mention the cars though, and say i did go over the speed limit but just to over take for a second, and if they wish to give you a speeding fine thats ok but the fact is u wernt street racing.

Wait for the letter to come. See if you can get a definition of what an 'oraganised drag race" is.

Yep, dont mention what cars you drive if possible. At the end of the day its an irellevant detail. If they judge you on what car you drive, thats descrimination as far im concerned.

If You Do Go To Court Your Chances Are Thin, 2 Year Ago Two Of My Mates Got Pinned For Street Racing, The Funny Thing Was They Were Only Doing 50 K's In A Mini And A Suzuki Chino, 1 Had A Perfect Record And The Other Didn't But They Both Appered In Cort At The Same Time So They And Both Got The Same Penalty.

Good Luck.....

Another thing would be to take photos of the intersection and any road signs that are visible from the intersection, showing that the left lane was ending shortly. This should give the magistrate a good indication of what was occuring at the time.... and i wouldnt mention what car you drive or if the magistrate happens to ask, give a vague answer like my nissan family car... or sumfin

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
