If Holden were to design a car with only one tail light, it would have to be located to the right of centre...they did...the FJ had only 1 tail-light brake light.......in the center......

not all cops are bad... 
HI guys, just thought I would share a thought on the fact that not all cops are bad. On a recent interstate trip to Melbourne, I was making up for some lost time by doing 140kph in a 110 zone. Now, keeping in mind that anything over 130kph is jailable, and as a green P-plater in NSW I am restricted to 100kph and it says so on my plates... I saw this Highway patrol car on the other side of the highway, and i thought "first cop i have seen all trip, maybe i will slow to 110kph". After about ten minutes, i heard a siren scream and lights flashing, and i thought "oh sh!t, im f*cked..." anyway, he pulls me over, and asks for my license, and says "do you know why i pulled you over???"
so i says "cause i was doin 110kph???" to which he quickly replies with a smile... "i think you were doing a tad more than that mate... I clocked you at 141kph!!!" to which i went "umm, ahh, eee" and he said "i noticed you were overtaking someone?" and this little light just goes "BING!!!" in my head, and i was like "yeah, but he kept speeding up" cop just goes "yeah, there are some cu*ts that tend to do that, im not gonna book ya, but just be careful in the future!!!" I just smiled and nodded!!! he then did a walk around of my car and said "**** mate, i like ya rims!!! how much did they set ya back?" and we talked for like 20 minutes about why the SS's were better cars than the XR8's for multiple reasons!!! He was a legend!!!
What a legend!!! he even stuck behind me and said I could do 130kph for 15 minutes to make up for the time that I had lost talking to him!!!
All i can say is that i was very lucky, and that i bought a lotter ticket that night and won $200!!! lol, a lucky trip all in all!!!
Hope this helps to dispell some of the myths of "all coppers are c*nts"!!!
Thats my two cents worth!!!

Nice story. Certainly very lucky. I'd suggest that 99.9% of Police members wouldn't have let you off. Consider yourself VERY licky.
Errant P platers are a staple diet of the Hwy Patrol. In fact, offending P platers are frequently used to justify poor Police attitudes and conduct.
Whilst I don't agree with nailing people to the wall for a couple of K's over our often pedestrian limits, there's no way any Green P plater can reasonably justify driving at 140km/h in a 100km/h or 110km/h zone. You lack expereince and more than likely the training to safely use a vehicle at such speeds on a public Hwy.
Arriving Late and Alive, is Always a better option than arriving Dead on Time!
In case you all haven't worked it out yet, there are numerous members in this group whom are Police members. Some are senior in rank, informants for senior members, or those involved in Internal Investigations.
So, the preceeding post is fuel for bosses to attempt to identify, admonish, or at the very least, lecture adnauseum, Hwy Patrol members in Vic & NSW about booking every possible motorist for every miniscule offence detected.
Think very carefully about each and every post people!

I understand this thread will be locked/deleted, but anyway.....
Personally I would call him a bad cop. He should have booked you. It's when they book you for no reason that they are classed as 'bad'.
