I know you'll take immediate offence at this post, but don't. Read it twice before you reply please.
So you're "impressed" with the Police because they let you off for breaking the law? You do realise that braking is a function of traction don't you? If you have metal wheels (if you're on your steel belts), you're not going to stop ANYWHERE near as fast as if you had brand new slicks on (extremes to illustrate the point).
So really, in all fairness, your car is quite dangerous with those tyres on there, agreed? Would you have the same level of admiration for the Police if they defected your car for having unroadworthy tyres and a cracked windscreen, like they should have?
I'm constantly surprised by what factors people judge police on. If they let them off for minor speeding offences, the Police are doing a GREAT JOB!!!! If they rape you for street racing your mates up and down George St/Chapel St/Cavill Ave (!), then they're dirty cops...
Weird isn't it?
