In WA you can all it whatever you want, you're not my problem (thank god for that!).

Ohhh no happy pills for Mr Policeman today huh? Either that or you aint getting any

LIES it's all lies!

And for your I suggest lead based paint. ASAP.

I'm not the one having a sook because a police officer yelled at me, i believe you should take what you recommend be of better use for you, more effective

i overtake on any lane as long as the idiot whos almost going in reverse on the highway is behind me im happy

The problem is, there are always 3 sides to a story, your side, her side, and the truth. We can only go on your word......
Power tripping cops is a fact of life, theres not much you can do about it.

I hate that kind of thought. When one is telling the truth, straight down the line, and is opposed by someone lying, if the listener takes the view that the middle line is the truth, then they are believing a lie.

No matter what way you cut it, that's the way it is. Unfortunately I think magistrates take that 'middle line' approach sometimes.

Now, I'm in need of contact with any former Highway Patrol officer from Queensland. I need some advice and I think such a person is the ideal one for me to contact.

Can anyone help me with this?

The three sides to the story line is actually quite correct.

Not each side is always telling the complete 100% truth as each are just as guilty as each other of blowing things up a bit.

ok i have a question. my passenger wiper recently stopped working during a storm (worn thread apparently). my mister has taken it off saying i cant get booked if its not on there, is it true?

 

[Mr Irony]

Not on a car built since ADR27A. Everything has to work on modern cars, you'd have been able to do that with an FJ or EK or something.

 

[stroked]

If the vehicle was fitted with that wiper from the production line, it must be on the car and must work.

Awesome thread guys. Couple of days ago, a scrupulous, wonderfully, awesome cop slapped on a defective notice on my car. One for having near bald tyres (which i knew and was actually on my way to get changed, yet he wouldn't believe me!!) and two he asked me to sit on 3500 RPM and he stood behind the car and listened to the exhaust. Now i have a VT V6, with the only exhaust mod being a catback exhaust. No hotdogs, No resonators, No extractors. He also put on the Canary that the exhaust was to loud. CAN HE DETERMINE THIS FROM STANDING BEHIND THE CAR WITH NO EQUIPMENT!!! I now have to go to Vic roads and get them to sign off on it, WHEN i reinstall another muffler. I was under the impression that only the EPA could slap me on the wrist for a loud exhaust.
CAN HE DO THIS???

If its anything like SA's laws, yes. They just need to suspect your car is unroadworthy, and its your time and money to prove otherwise
