Do Police Pick on Your Car??

[ego]

^^^ I'd say the opposite in S.E Bayside area. I was driving my mate's RX7 waiting at a set of lights on Nepean Highway and 2 cop cars passed one way then 5 seconds later another going the other way. See at least 2-3 cop cars a day

I'm still on my Greens, but in that time I've had an Integra and 2 4th Gen Ludes (my first one got written off by an idiot who failed to give way)

I'm definitely no grandma driver but I'm conscious as to where I have my fun.
I have never been targeted.

I've had a couple follow me for a few km's I assume doing a rego check but I haven't ONCE been pulled over. I live in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

I would say I've been lucky but I just don't seem to attract attention, even though my exhaust is kinda loud and I'm sitting on 17"s


I took my 'Prelude' & 'VTEC' badge off then to cover the holes the Prelude badge left i changed to the magnetic P plate from an electrostatic window plate maybe that made a difference...
All my cars have been debadged except for the Honda badge.

yep never get pulled over now

white prelude with blue rims, lots of attention, yet not unwanted attention lmzo

almost 70% of the time i get pulled over
usually its the loud exhaust
one of the reasons i am looking for a sleeper RWD sedan

NSW:- Since the Liberals have got in > Identified that our state is in debt crisis > Cars are getting pulled over left-right-centre.
Son the other day in his Nur got chased down after 2Km of being followed > blue-red lights > RBT - yeah right - Random???

Guilt by association of owning a performance car. No doubt they'd have been waiting for him to do something wrong.

Police have found the perfect cash cow end of story. Speed Kills, the road toll must be zero, people using their phones and hoons all fall under the banner of a mine to be dug!

Now in VIC
It's been exposed that 2 cops have been sacked and 2 have resigned over a Cover-up when one of their comrades tried to get out of being implicated in a car accident.
Not a good look!

I'll tell you more soon...
...about an experience one of my patients had.

[WEAPON-R]

i think i had one of the most modded ludes in the country 99% under the bonnet. Custom bonnet vents and intercooler snug inside the bumper... AND I NEVER had a problem lol? Maybe because my car wasn't wild on the outside? 17" wheels, custom wing on the back, exhaust wasn't loud *****il i was boosting, then it sounded like a plane!). All my friends were getting pulled over in stock Supra's and GT-4 Celicas etc but i always got passed.

^^Wow, I haven't seen you on here since forever!


Back on topic, I got pulled over in the Silvia the other night. I'd literally just pulled out the driveway and turned left, wouldn't have been 500m from home, and hadn't actually reached 50km/h yet. The Evel Kiineval (motorbike cop) quickly loops around and turns on the lights. **Cue the heart rate increasing dramatically**
I pull over, hop out the car and I'm standing by the left tail light before he has even got off the bike.

Me: Evening officer
Him: Evening sir, just conducting random breath testing in the area, one long continuous breath please
Me: Ok, I've had a beer but it was a while ago now so should be ok **blows**
Him: You're all zeros...got your license on you tonight?
Me: Yes sir *whips license out of handheld wallet* And the change of address label is on the back
Him: Have a good night sir.
I really don't care what you're into, no amount of illicit drugs or alcohol consumption will ever give you the rush that I had that night!

But all things aside, I am driving a modified performance car, with dark windows, a loud exhaust and suspension that is lowered so much that I can't get over the spoon drain at one end of my street. I am fully aware of this and expect to be pulled over far more than I have been.

By the time Mr Popo got his helmet off, your engine was silent right brash?

"Random" breath testing - yeah right! He turns around to catch you!
