Bull Sh!t Roadworthy Rules

* being black

what?

whoever that gets pinged with these retarded technicalities needs to eat a bag of dicks, they don't resort to pulling em out unless you give em attitude. Cos you know, it's such an intelligent idea to remind the copper that just pulled you over that he's wasting your time and his. That's gotta make his job feel that much better.

[dasic1]

Not having a shifter pattern displayed.

[xALmoN]

never got done by that actually.

[shanusr33]

Not having a shifter pattern displayed.

There's a big debate around that, I've never found out if its actually illegal or not... but i started a thread on it ages ago.

I just searched and found it...read it...and it gave me lotsa lolz again!

i wasn't going to bother sharing here and get slapped again for it, but what they hey

anyways, here's a pic of the overall product, looks ok...to me

SO CAN ANYBODY PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS A REAL RWC ITEM OR NOT??

[gdogzgtr]

I'm going to have to use this information. Last person that had an extremely poor attitude with me ended up with 3 fines and NOU with car off road immediately. Not to mention he was one of our well known local crooks.

[CR34M]

Mate got done for not displaying his shift pattern after using an A/M gearknob on his MKIV Supra. He also got done for his car being "too low" when it was stock height (which was a good laugh)

Although most of the defects listed above seem pretty reasonable to me, it would seem absurd to have a couple of those defects and ONLY those and not others, eg bald tires, pod + cooler etc.

Got defected for the second time in 5 years owning an R34 and R32 GT-R. Out of all the things my car could have got defected for i got defected for having my wheels stick out of the arches (and only by millimeters) Sometimes the boys in blue just don't like you on the road, i normally get really great cops who you can sit and have a good chat with even if you have done something wrong. I have been lucky soo far and feel my time for a major ass whooping is around the corner!

[Kris..]

i got done having no H pattern on my gearknob in my r32 and also had written on the defect notice "requires wheel alignment", had extended LCA's in the front for extra track

[Birds]

Requires wheel allignment lol...

You watch, won't be long before you get defected for faded paint or mismatched colours.

[Nee-san]

there are alot of flamin mongrelstables on our streets now.

[xALmoN]

heh, i feel that melbourne coppers are always looking to defect, but when i got pulled over on the GOR, they were nice and friendly and all, never even asked me to pop my bonnet.

[adznight]

Haha, shift pattern is a olden goldie. I got pinned for that. Only because he was pissed that the rest of the car was legal.

[Kris..]

yeh i think they only resort to bullshit stuff like that when they cant get you on anything else or youre being a flamin mongrel to them

[BrOwnY GT]

Recently got mine done actually r33 gts-t when i brought it, the rwc that seller had done had ran out by 5 days and only driven about 20ks since the rwc... rofl had the tie rod ends done for the rwc... now because i got it melbourne and being from gippsland i was like ok dont worry about the rwc what could possibly be wrong with it since it had recently been done etc and i would get a rwc done locally ... rofl what a mistake i took to a local mechanic these pricks picked on intermediate brack lights not working ... rofl which did i f$%king checked and had some1 tailgate be on the way home to make sure... Brake fluid flush... which was funny considering it had the recently been done from the buyer which had the brakes replaced and rotors.. even seen receipt so obviously flushed less then 3 months ago rofl... windscreen which they said had little chips in it... WTF i couldnt see anything even godamn got a windscreen repair dude out who just laughed at me... and said wants wrong with it... then wiper blades!!! which were new haha..

Bullsh!t Roadworthy rules indeed

Oh and the end story was i took it back to the place which had done the rwc originally ... passed no problems... it had been tested twice there before... when the buyer had it...

http://www.pca.sa.gov.au/images/Complaint%20Form.pdf we have this in SA so if u get a PIG of cop who has done something you feel as though wasnt rigt u can have it dealt with.... but that said the SAPOL arent too bad as proved by the annual BSM Cruise, where from memory the last attendance was around 700 plus cars with only a handful of defects- with the police attending and helping. that said there are some real cops out there who will do anything to defect a roadworthy car, eg a mate getting deected because he didnt have a sticker inside his door displaying wheel and tyre sizes for the vehicle etc.. some rules iv never even heard o.. is it true u have to have foot wear on to drive?

I believe you don't actually have to have footwear but if you do it can't be thongs or sandals or something else that could slip off and potentially get under the pedals.

[KamikazeNinja34]

They do prefer it actually be shoes. U can't drive in socks.

[Astro Bear]

I'd imagine the Intelligent Quotient down at the Academy could be likened to that of an Avocado too.

[xALmoN]
