The Defected Thread...

[-RBD2-]

will be making an appoinment first thing in the morning......

[Freddie]

Just been reading through several pages of this sa defect topic. Being defected myself, fully deserving the defects as ALL defects were fair....sorta. I have only been pulled over once in my skyline, had my bonnet popped, stock, boost controller, not connected, couldn't find my license, fined. lol

Anyway just wondering if anyone has ever sued a cop because they had targeted the driver? IE the Scottish cop who targets skylines etc? Does any one reackon that they would have a chance suing a cop for targeting or discriminating a certain driver? ie p plater, skyline driver etc?

cheers Tyrone

Also SAPOLs new motto "to protect and defect!"

One does not need their licence to be on them, provided it is paid and up to date. Generally you have 7 days to present a licence to a police station if you dont have it on you,.... which is more than fair...

Cant see them fining you for this, as there are guidelines on how to deal with licence breaches... wanna tell us what they really got you for?

-D

[Madaz]

if you don't know what they can get away with they'll try that sort of thing

i remember years ago it was ok to not have your license with you if you were fully licensed

lol, to be very honest, you have a 1% chance of winning that suit. How could you possibly prove they target import drivers?

yeah he could be on p's though. its something like 2 or 3 demerit points and fine for not carryin ya licence when your on p's

[Freddie]

Yes i am on my P's lol

Nah he pulled me over for not having rear P plate visable, asked me to show him license and i could produce it,because I didn't have it. Apprently you can lose your P's if you don't have it. My horn didn't work , he was gonna defect me, and fine me for p plate and license but I talked him down to just the failure to carry provisional license.

I rang the expiation notice branch to see if I would lose my license but according to the guy if I had also been fined for breach of P's I would have lost it.

Still haven't been defect in the skyline yet YAY! Probably because I haven't driven it since that AFM broke.

[-RBD2-]

i lost my p's for 6months for not carrying my license

that was years ago

anyways,heading thro lonsdale inspection station thursday 11th

some knob at AJD tried telling me that the white colored defect stickers mean only a partial inspections required,and the yellow stickers are the full on inspections

thats the 1st ive heard of it,sounds like bollocks?

[Krishy]

the defect sticker is white (visible from the front) and yellow at the back (visible from drivers position)....seen many of those in my time

Hey all,

I got done on sat night, cop was a complete ass despite i was being polite and respectful to him. anywhos here its goes got pulled over down gouger, cop check alcho-breath tested me, i was in clear. then asked year of my car etc was a 98 gtt. i got done for HID lights, they were like 5000k rating so fair enough. I said nissan made then standard from factory and his like no they didnt thus it is illigal.. (im like wtf in my head). i even pointed out the XENON on my head lights.

i could tell he stuttered when i said that, he had a rookie next time him as i could tell as he was showing teaching him. The manner of which he spoke to me was pretty rude.

i got done for TINT being 18%, HID, Pod not securly mounted. Ok all is fair, but what i dont understand is why i have to go to "regency" and not a simple police check. because it is not rocket science to tell a car has HIDS or not and they can test if the TINT is legal n see if pod is mounted properly with brackets ect? Could i call up the police station and ask this or no point? police station check = approx $40 whereas regency = $143? on my green sheet, he selected it as a MINOR defect yet it has to be checked at VEHICLE INSPECTION STATION..

Could you guys share some light, as this is my first time defected. what a headmess ==

anywhos i over heard the older cop saying keep your eyes out for skylines tonight etc to his rookie. bald old tall cop guy with glasses.

cheers

Wrong.

If that is all you got done for I would ring and ask.

Is that all thats illegal ?

tighten the pod. Show somehow that the lights are stock . Worth trying mate

All R34 HID lights were (or should have been) modified at compliance, including the removal of the HID hardware. Having a HID kit in a 34 in Aus is illegal.
