Usually when they say they're doing a blitz, you won't see them. Or if you do, it's once and once only for the entire weekend.

meh why would you pull over for purple lights, would you pull over if the racv was behind you.

Umm because it is against the law not too? Fairly sure ignorance of law is not a worthy defence. Nor is stupidity.

Sweeet, i love these blitzes, its hilarious seeing a line up of P Plater cars with stupidly low suspension and big yellow stickers. Hopefully will also get the retards who are driving around with bald tyres and unregistered cars.

Couldn't agree more. The only people that have anything to worry about from such blitzes are those that probably shouldn't ever be on the road anyway!
