Back then imports didnt exist, you have the 100 R32 gtr's but i never recall seeing one on the road, that is when the import scene started to build, even the touring car scrutineers didn't know what they were looking at let alone joe plod.

The system here is pretty damn harsh, in singapore we got 13pts when we're on our P's and then 24 once we're off our P's and our P's only last one year.

And having just converted my license, i'm back on my P's, for another 8 months, till August. I never knew how many points can rack up since i've been given conflicting information. So if its 5 points, for a P plater, i have 4 points left. =(

Time to take the bicycle and the trains more.

Why don't you apply for an international license?

So then you might not be on your P's afterall.

Thats quite true eh.

Just to tide over the period when i'm on my P's, then i can actually buy a turbo car legally. Awesome!

But, like won't they know that i hold a victoria license since they have my name logged into the system and all?

Cancel it haha

But just make sure you have all the information about the international license and make sure it can work before you cancel it lol

[xALmoN]

what a hassle,

i'll just buy a turbo car and chuck it in my garage till i can drive it legally, meanwhile, i'll drive the accord around.

am i correct to say that the lady that got done 4 years no licence etc. would of saved herself alot of trouble if she didnt open the door or refused to go to the police station? she wasnt under arrest so by her going to the police station was out of her own will?

[KURAUN]

pretty sure they would have arrested her if she didnt

they were witnesses of what she did and that gives the police the right to take her in for a breath test

if im correct?

[MrWindsurf]

Man that ep made me rage about the truckies trailer, its catch 22. Fined everyday for being in a bus zone or try and move it and they cain you with another fine. Pwnzord

I don't think so, they are trying to keep idiots off the road that can't control themselves. I lost my licence twice on my P's. Certainly taught me a lesson.

Aren't licence laws and registration pretty different in Singapore anyhow? Not everyone can afford to drive from what I understand where as every bum can get a car and drive here.

It's because rego and insurance is expensive and it's probably more convenient to take public transport

[Stagea_Neo]

Adzmax

I've forgot accurately what the cost of rego and licence is in Singapore but it's insanely expensive, 100k for rego rings a bell.

Nup just targeted us P platers in the VC/VH Commondoors

[_Ryan_]

LOL... 5 points. You youngsters are doin it tough.

That does not sound right, i believe P platers only get 5 points for 3 years, once your off your P's you 12 points for 3 years.

12 points 3years the same as anyone, BUT, you can only accumulate 5 points in ANY 12month period(imagine a sliding time line from your most recent point back)

Full license at midnight tonight, never had a demerit point offense.

[Shell]

this show is hilarious... that blonde bogan cop thinks she's on 'Cops' I reckon "You using? You using?"

That guy in the orange VL was laughing the whole time and really didnt give a f**k... hammering it after he was allowed to go is really smart too

I've only watched last nights and the one with the red "GTR".... "Go paint the town GTR red"

[RB25PWR]

Yes that's correct. Police have less power than you think, the absolute smartest thing she could have done is just not answer the door at all. Nothing Cops can really do... they would've possibly come back the next day and try and question her further about the incident but at least there would have been no proof of her being pissed.

If she opened the door and then refused to go to the station she would then be arrested under suspicion of driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated (becuase just by looking at her you can tell she was drunk).

Also I'd just like to go a little off topic and say that yes Cops probably do pull over more imports than anything else. But it's because imports are more prone to illegal mods, would you go around pulling over Corollas all day? No of course not, why? Because it would be a waste of your time and you'd never fine anyone. They 'pick' on you for a reason, you're doing illegal shit!

[adznight]

Yeah that's what I'm saying - less drivers on the road. The laws are tighter here because as soon as every kid turns 18 they are out and about in their new car.

[W0rp3D]

Is it just me or are our cops too laid back, on the latest episode a guy takes off as the cop goes back to his car, so what does the cop do when he pulls him over, he leaves him in the car with it running so the guy can do it again if he wants, i would think that the least he would have done is take the keys till he was done.

On the other hand i liked the way they took the other guy down after he rammed the cop car, cops need to get a little more aggressive with these dicks.

[talky]

i would actually be quite serious about doing this lol...

+1 to that >>>wot you guys rekon ????
