if i saw it was a known undercover vehicle, i would probably change lanes (almost always in the far right, so thus change left) and depending on the amount of room slow down. it was really annoying me, i would slow down enough and switch back behind.

if i saw it was just a random car, i'd probably floor it and switch lanes. vast majority of cars and drivers cant keep up and imports don't do shit like that. at least from my experiences.

10 years ago I was booked by some filth that came screaming up behind me as I was overtaking on the highway (I was not speeding at the time).

Out of courtesy I speed up to 110 to overtake quicker and then moved straight over into the slow lane... He pulled in stright behind me and booked me...

Never trusted a cop scince, dont put anything beyond them. I would imagine antics like that discribed are part of there standard pass times.

2 weeks ago i was driving from pt cook to the ring road at about 2am. from the distance i could see this car hiking in my rear vision, thought it was some idiot taking opportunity of the empty roads.. very quickly i realise hes approaching my rear incredibly fast, and im on 100 and in the middle lane. so, i move to the left, him also to my surprise. i know its a ve in my rear vision and think nothing of it, until his headlights were not visible in my rear vision. let off the accelerator and slowed to 90; eventually this numb nuts decides to slipstream past me on the right, and stops in line with the front of my car. noticed it was a wagon, and dismissed the chance it was a police officer (it was v8, i didnt know they had them in the fleet). until after about 500m of driving along side me, he puts the boot into it, and on the rear glass are his "hidden" lights. and off like a flash he went with another 2-3 cars following him.

/shrug sounds like a typical bullies to me

Hmm yeh sounds like bait tactics to me, I've had that once. It was a bike in the wet tailgating me in the back streets, He was sitting about 1m from my rear bumper, I gave a few taps on the brakes and he backed off a little then sure enough came creeping back up. We got to some corners so i sat on 50 which was fine in my car in the wet but the bike had to slow. Then he came roaring back up behind me and pulled me over. Saying u were going a little too fast back there ect ect. I said I wasn't he couldn't prove it, he went with the whole I cbf with paperwork ect ect and rode away.

there is entrapment law in australia.. I dont understand why people believe there isnt..

a simple google search will prove that..

if their was no law on entrapment it could be used in many MANY ways and the law couldnt do ANYTHING about it..

alright man. can you post up a reference? a simple google search should do.

or are you getting confused with provocation laws?

Had the same thing, scream up behind, tailgate, highbeam then piss off way over the speed limit when I slowed down.

I think coming to a rapid stop is justifiable if they highbeam you from behind because driving blind is bad.

what a f**king sly arsehole trying to egg you on! pffft.. should have wound down your window and told him straight out you know he's a cop so stop being a f**kwit :P

oh yeh..

thought about it... then fagged out and pretended i hadn't noticed him :(

and remembered he can defect you, impound you, club you with a baton, pepper spray in teh eyes and so forth?

+1 it does happen more than people think.. i always see this f**king Sportivo white camry on springvale road/westall road. aerials all over it. sometimes the guy is in uniform other times i have seen the same drive out of uniform but he is always revving it at lights and infact another sportivo came up next to it they raced and on came the white camrys lights....

There are entrapment (common) laws in Australia, but the consensus as to what actually amounts to entrapment

and when it is justified is rather ambiguous.

Consider that recent terrorism cases have relied heavily on entrapment, the concept enjoys strong

judicial backing.

I can't see it being justified in the case of traffic infringements but good luck proving that you were

entrapped in the first place haha! Word of police officer vs word of Skyline driving hoon.

Problem is this:

I am a courteous driver, and typically if I see someone who is in a 'hurry' behind me on a freeway, road or anything with two lanes, I generally speed up and move over to the other lane. So I guess I would be pulled over and the cop would ream me a new one.

I personally hate it when someone slows down to say 80 in a 100 zone, so that's probably what you'd want to do if you had someone behind you. You're not technically breaking the law either.

Hopefully you have a passenger, whip out the camera phone and record away! Make sure you get the number plate as well. Because not only will you see the high-beaming and tailgating, you'll hear the revving.

My 2 Cents.

For another poster who said "reference google" here you go:

I had a quick skim, but I couldn't find anything that could be usefully applied. Or a clear definition in terms of traffic law.

Wish i did, but i reckon if they saw me pull out the phone myself they would of probably got me for that too =\

One day when they kill someone doing that, maybe then they will realise how retarded they actually are. Seeing as it was a little wet, i could of panic and swerved. There is some serious issues with our police force.

  • 2 weeks later...

i think it could be quite possible.

A similar thing happend to me a few months back

i had a Cop in a VE wagon of all things (without antennas) follow me on frankston freeway (i was doing a constant 100kms) pull infront of me and slow down to about 80....up to 4 or 5 times after i would change to the opposite lane to him.... till i eventually said screw this guy and booted off only to have him flash his lights at me and pull me over.

ended up he was a plain clothes detective and said he would fine me but never did. lucky!

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
