HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET PULLED UP BY THE COPS WHEN OBEYING ALL ROAD LAWS?

Take off the balaclava

 

I got stopped in Glenelg on Sunday for a "licence and vehicle check". They are blitzing guys in Commodores with wide wheels etc lately. The cop smiled and said "I just wanted to check out your car". He took a bit of a peek inside and was satisfied. I showed him my licence and he was happy.

They can stop me as often as they like so long as they leave the report book in their pocket.

 

i was pulled over a month ago while i was in the morgan. the motorcycle cop just wanted to know if it was classed as a bike or a car - this after rolling through a residential street with no speedo/exhaust and a continuous 710 leak.

 

I can't have been paying attention lately. Any pics?

 

that's that weird-ass V1 rocket/monopoly car with 3-wheels i think he's talking about

 

Must be the area. I haven't been pulled over once in over 10 years, for no reason. A couple of times for speeding, but that's it.

 

how often do i get pulled over? all the time, thanks to being 17.

 

Still havent been pulled up in the 348 here. Rather weird,as the exhaust note could rattle the police stations windows as i cruise through town. Just lucky i guess so far. But the time will come.....................

 

Were you sideways at the time? Is there something unusual looking about your car? Or you?

 

a friend never got his licence until he was 22, but he'd grown up in the outback and had been driving all manner of cars and trucks and tractors and bikes since he was 12. when he moved to the city he just didn't feel the need to get a licence so went for years and years without. then oneday he figgered he may as well, so he got his P's and in the VERY FIRST WEEK he was pulled over 5 (five!) times, once for speeding, once for 'dangerous driving' (long story, he was being hassled by commode-door yobbos), and 3 other times for random/useless reasons.

for the next year on P's he got pulled over on average once a month for some bollocks reason.

i can't imagine the rationale he had driving unlicensed, too many risks, but hey we all gotta be young and stupid sometime. at least i managed to shake off the young part...

 

Ive had my fair share of pull overs also(not in the 348) for nothing and agree its the biggest waste of time.

 

You don't wear jumpers in your 348?

 

None.

But Vic is a police state after all.

 

I get pulled up in the Magna reasonably regularly... I dont know if they do this just to see what kind of dingbat drives a Magna these days...

.. but last Saturday night, coming from town, I had the 'pleasure' of 2 RBT stops before I made it to my front door. A good thing I dont drink and drive (spills too much Diet Coke... )

 

Maybe Jeff will fix that...

 

I think we have found the problem. They are checking that the car isn't stolen.

 

hahaha,only turtle-necks Horse

 

like Ash said. i'll dig up a pic. you must have missed that sunday morning.

 

which morning?

 

think he might've. that was the day we found the longest ever straight in history toward walker's flat.
