Ask The Copper

[minux]

Cars in australia come out with them standard now, they are certainly not illegal, when fitted correctly you have greater crisper vision. I have yet to be blinded by a set of these on low beam. Now normal headlights....they are crap, lights pointing upwards blinding the **** out of me. I have never been picked up for my HID's.

hi just wondering if ther was a set minimum ride hight for your car or if it varies from model to model thanks

 

[Boonz]

yes it does.....depends which copper you get now i suppose, some measure it as 100mm from the lowest point to the ground, others measure from the wheelarch to the centrecap on your wheel

 

[VicCop]

It's supposed to be from the lowest point. It depends on the copper as some are more experienced than others and won't have to measure.

gday.
in the last 2 weeks i have been pulled over about 4 times by police, not that i have been speeding or anything at all wrong. they pull me over ask all these questions under the sun about me and my car and i want to know why they do this as i dont get breathe tested or anything. it just seems like im being harrassed just because im a red p-plater and drive a nice new ute.
cheers.

This question may sound silly, but i am genuinely interested in your answers.
Im a paramedics student and this is something which has been discussed in class after a lecturer brought the topic up.
In NSW it is my understanding that the legislation covering the ambulance profession doesnt specifically permit ambulance officers to break the speed limit, or breach any road rules. Therefore technically any ambulance officer responding to a job can be given a ticket for speeding etc.
do you know of any police officers ever doing this?
Surely the answer would have to be no unless the ambo was driving like a maniac, but im just curious.

Thanks
