Nice observation there shaun, i'd have to agree with ya there.
In my line i've never had a cop bust me. I got pulled over in freo at night and he picked on my BOV, but i was geniune and said "look mate, i know they're illegal, so im taking it off... i dont like it anyway" blah blah blah.
and no yellow sticker for me. SCORE!
(nb, I didnt remove the BOV)
the cop was sorta alight about it, and let me go.
now, my previous rice-mobile left alot to be desired, 3 yellows and constant cop attention was crap. grrr...
