I asked because I'm a Cop and we don't usually give out a court attendance notice unless you need to go before the court. By needing to go before the court I mean if you have been in trouble with the law in regards to driving offences (or your mate); and tickets aren't sufficing. Then it's time to go before the court whereby the judge will deal with you. But a simple "Oops I forgot to pay my rego" is not necessary, it's up to the officer really but it's less work for him to give you a ticket and if you don't need to go to court then the magistrate will be a bit "ehhh, why didn't you just get a ticket?"

So basically, your friend must have a bad history in regards to driving.

I know I didn't add anything constructive to the thread, however I was just curious. ;)

Lol, adding even less to the thread, I actually usually find input from rb25 good. It's interesting to get some insight into the regulators of the law.

Eg: what would happen if you were caught driving an unregistered car or speeding or something?

It depends. They both don't really have anything to do with each other really.

I see no reason why unless your traffic record is atrocious, that you wouldn't just receive tickets for those offences. The alternative is you would spend a day in court and probably come out paying less money (from the magistrate).

The offences where you will definitely spend a day in court are drive whilst suspended and drive whilst disqualified. Those offences are charges, so it means you'll have a criminal record if convicted.

I haven't been to any SAU events....and in regards to what you say I'm sure it's nothing too bad. ;)

Sorry, I was a bit unclear. What happens if a cop is pulled over for drifting over the speed limit? Or seemingly harmlessly helping a mate out by driving his car home? Is it different, more lenient because you're probably of good character? Does it influence your work? Or are you unable to comment? lol

Well I'd be treated like any other motorist of course. ;)

edit: If I do get a ticket it's not good though, I will be spoken to about it. The ramifications depending on what I've done (say for example, 10km over); aren't the worst in the world. But the fact is, I should know better hence why I'd get into a bit of trouble at work.

Hey, a bit off topic and I know you can't give too much detail away but I wanted to ask you a question about prohibited vehicles for P platers. I'll set out a scenario as its the best way I can explain it.

Young green P plater is driving a Holden SS, he has de-badged the car and its registered in in mummy or daddy's name. When you scan the rego it obviously shows all the details of the owner and car, when it shows the cars details does it come up with:

1) Prohibited vehicle for P plater

2) or The type of car and you have to use your own knowledge or check a list to see if its prohibited

3) Type of car (make and model) with it also saying V8/supercharger or turbo.

Reason I ask is I have a friend who drove a V35 which is a high powered V6 while he was on his P plates (has full license now). He was pulled over twice while on his P's twice for random breath test (1 Booze stop, other random pull over on a long weekend), They took his license back on both occasions to the car and checked everything out & they didn't pull him up on it. Was he just lucky or is the V35 not in the cop databse.

I'd be stepping over the line if I told you what we could see on our computers. However IIRC the V35 is NOT on the prohibited vehicles list.... I'll have another look when I'm back at work so don't quote me on that. About the SS driver, all you have to do is stop him and look under the bonnet. I've caught people driving de-badged GTT's before. You will fool some Police, perhaps the ones who aren't into cars... but not me!

I had typed out so much more but again I feel as though I'd be stepping over the line. If I ever get my ass to an event I'll speak about it in person perhaps...

Every rego plate is linked to a VIN which is linked to an engine number all through the rta. You've got to assume the police have instant access to this data, including the engine info, ie: a v8. Also as said above, it's going to be luck of the draw if you get pulled over driving a restricted vehicle. Think about the morons pulled over by ^RB25 in their debadged gtt's, only to find out the officer's other car is a gts-t lol.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
