yeah i cant beleive im helping this guy out.. if he isnt driving with safety and courtesy i dont want him on the same road as me. but i do know what its like to get booked for something stupid (was on today tonight in the height of P PLATER hating season 2-3yrs ago) . It sucks ass.

seriously... you shouldnt have parked in a handicapped zone... and if your friends were only 2 min i wouldnt turn the car off.. just roll around the carpark. none of this stay with the car bs..

if you were with it and it was still on ie keys in (idiot) or turbo timer (also illegal- car should not be on when ignition turned off) cop may have told you off anyway

Edit: just showing how it wont stand in court anyway

When the coppers say 'you'll get it in the mail' it's just a scare tactic. He was prolly laughing at you when you left.

HOT TIP: Leave your rear P plate on the parcel shelf like it fell down, when a copper's like wheres your P plate just look back and go 'ummmm it must of fell sorry I didnt realise'. I used to do it on my P's always worked and saved my being pulled over everyday.

Just as illegal as not driving with them at all.

A P-Plate must be clearly visible from 25metres away from the vehicle, when viewed from the front, or the rear, hence, why I can't put my green P in the rear window of the line. The window is too far tilted, especially with really dark tint (Legal tint)

As for the handicap thing. GET THE HELL OUT OF IT!

I'm sick and tired of going to the shops with my dad or what ever, and some soft cock P-plater is parked in the disabled spot and he can't use it (He is disabled!) Walk FFS! You are fully bodily abled!

Although, you will never get the fine in the mail at all.

Also, copper is technically never off duty. They're a civil servant IIRC, meaning, they're always on call.

The other day I parked at a mall and out of the probably 10,000 parking spots, maybe 5 were filled. I wrestled with my own mind but eventually bypassed the 5 disabled parking spots and hit the next available normal one. I am completely conditioned not to use them. I guess I don't need the recall stabilisation after all. :) (1984 reference for those who don't recognise it)

Also my Dad has the disabled sticker - with good reason - but sometimes he doesn't park there. He goes, "Oh there is probably someone more disabled than me." :)

Ha ha ha, at certain places my dad goes "I know I can park closer in a normal parking spot..."

But at certain places he uses them, other times he parks like normal.

Not always. I got a fine for a red light (which I never went through) from this fat troll cop not too long ago, they said "your fine will be in the mail" and guess what, it was. Assholes..

    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
    • Ahh yeah, probably not too surprising - nice catch anyway, aside from being a bit of a pain.  I think we've done a bit of wrestling and grinding to make sure all is aligned and clearanced nicely if it seems like a potential ongoing problem.
    • Yes - at ~2500-2700 rpm (ie, about 100-110) it was barking a bit. But I've heard that before. Makes me wonder if I haven't captured the flapper open in the past, but with the circlip still in place it rectified itself. More than once.
    • Ahh one of my favourite things Have experienced that with a couple of aftermarket IWG turbo setups, a hint is (usually?) the exhaust gets a bit rowdier/tinnier under normal driving around as you've effectively lost a muffler you usually have operating when you're lurking around off boost.    When I do road trips in my BMW I often (don't tell anyone I do this...) run it in Eco-Pro mode which turns out to open the wastegate at cruise to keep it working as an NA and maybe a little less pumping loss by having the exhaust have an easier path, never noticed that this is what was happening until I upgraded my dump pipe and starting thinking "Why is my car sounding a bit like it's got an exhaust leak now?" - only to find it go away when I run it in any other mode.   Time to go external gate
