"these comments dont represent the view of the owners or members of sau they are my views"
my thoughts on this.
have you noticed they mainly go for the defect etc when you are by your self.
rule one dont be a smart arse .
rule 2 dont talk cause you will incrimiate yorself.
conversion would go like this
you = good afternoon officer make sure you get out of your car.
you get pulled over the officers goes "so do you realise you were doing 80 kph in a 60 zone."
reply remain quiet or if you cant help your self I dont realise any thing .
then remain quiet let him talk
don't answer or but in just let him talk
if asked for your licence produce it you are obliged by law to.
then if he asks you to pop you bonnet.
under no circumstances open it .
ask him politly "what are you looking for"
if you must talk
remeber they must get your permission to search your car unless they are looking for a radar detector If you pop the bonnet you are givig your consent for a search.
keep quiet and assume a non threaten position.
then wait if he gives you a ticket he gives you a ticket but admit nothing. and offer no assistance to incriminate your self.
these are some of my thought they might not work but the key is to be quiet and dont let them get you to do things that give you the right to incrimiate you.
if its a random roadworthy test Ie like a booze bus I think you have to comply but on being pulled up on the road I doubt it.
