I'm in agreement with you on putting more on duty in the city at night, but the amount of dangerous driving I see around my area more cops would be a blessing. The more visible they are hopefully the less people will drive like wankers.

i wish they'd get rid of all these cars with no brake lights.. does my fkn head in! way more dangerous then my road scrapingly low car..

damn streetracers :)

I wasnt even racing. I pulled up next to them at the lights, and i could sense that they were looking at the car. Lights go green - and i hesitate for a second to see if they will go firs,t but they didnt. so I went - got up to about 80 (speed limit), changed to the left lane, and they put the red n blue on. They just checked the plates (if it was registered to me), did a breath test etc - the cop was a nice guy though - think it made his day when i told him i stopped drinking about 4 months ago (not that i drank much or often anyway).

Thats pretty f**king bad. One of my dads mates was like that, even went to jail for 3 months after being done for multiple (more than 15) drink driving offences. He still drink drives to this day and actually encourages others to do the same. Retards... so many of them.

yep - i used to know a person like that. She got caught drink driving 2 times or something. Second time the judge warned her next time its the jail for her. Did she learn her lesson - nope. 3rd time she crashed into a car while not being insured, and driving on a suspended licence (i think). Luckily for her the car she crashed into belonged to someone she knew, and she was able to get a family member to come and help her out. Did that change her outlook? Nope - stopped for a while, but is on the juice again.

To be honest, i cant give a f**k if scum like that end up in jail or dead (better than them killing an innocent person anyway).....the world is better off without them anyway.

We have more staff on as holidays over so we are running traffic cars most days. I would say that most stations in same position so more out and about. We are running plate recognition days in next few weeks also which will be interesting.

I am almost becoming a professional drink driver processer as almost eveyone I pull over lately is pissed. Have had 4 repeat offenders all more than 3 times limit in last month. One also disqualified and driving unregistered car and almost ran us off road 3 times in police car. In his mind he did nothing wrong and told me off as I verbalised my disgust for him in no uncertain terms.

so do u know officer pitett? ns.com famous police rep from a couple of years ago.

I guess with a drunk person you have to let go any feelings about things you may have personally. As you are probably aware, rationality goes out the window most of the time. How do u deal with that? Does it frustrate you that there is no respite, and a continuous occurence of drunk people? Or can u spin it into a positive in that u are preventing people driving further that are a danger to others.

I totally am against drink driving if people are confused,

No I don't know pettett. I am getting sick of the amount of Drink Driver's out there and most are not a little bit over but smashed. I don't understand with all the media coverage and immediate loss of license why people still do it. (more than ever IMO) I am also frustrated that about 90% of them I have dealt with in last 12-18 months are international students and don't give a toss. I have seen some in at our station after fatal collisions where they have killed friends/family and others and weren't even the slightest bit upset by their actions.

I do feel good when I catch someone like that because there is a good chance that I may have stopped them killing someone else or even themselves. I never take things personally and never will, the day I can't control my emotions I shouldn't be wearing the uniform.

That is exactly the attitude all of Victoria Police should have, and I wish all police did; like anything the minority ruin it for the majority.

You couldn't have said it any better :D

LOL there are more than 5 people in the police force man. Pettett was known of around most of the Melbourne car scene for particular reasons, but I imagine the only people in the force who know him are his superiors and colleagues at his station.

RWC does not worry me. Other things do :D

even though people have legit RWC's, i have a feeling if they feel like it they will pin you somehow. for example warn seatbelts even when they are still decent. you dont even need to change them and go to vicroads and vicroads says piss off dont worry bout it. seen it plenty of times.

been there done that :P

got defected for a faulty seat belt. It got twisted when I got out. Dandenong TMU didn't see the difference and didn't bother un twisting.

Saw about 5 police cars last night coming home along the eastern - had one police SUV come up fast in the 80 zone before the tunnel and flash his high beams when I had a car next to me and couldn't move over, he then passed me on the shoulder. Couldn't tell it was a police car til he went passed due to it being dark, so he just seemed like an obnoxious SUV driver.

he is infamous.

People still drink and drive because even if they lose their license, its just a slap on the wrist to be driving without a license anyway.

not really i'd say its a lot harsher then all these ppl that bash the crap out of innocent ppl for no reason or stab em etc are coppping..

those guys from the hungry jacks bashing ill be suprised if they get 12 months jail.. its a f*kn joke no wonder ppl wana arm them selves and bring on some vigilante justice the courts are pathetic.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
