Defect Question (Not A Rage Thread.. Just A Question)

So, I'm driving a 180sx on my P's.. with exemption and all the rest. No issues here.

I got RBT'd the other day and the obligatory bonnet check occured.. and I got a defect for my oil breather venting into the atmosphere. I knew about the issue, however I bought the car like that and the cop was fine with it. So I received a defect notice for the breather, no fines, no points, and all I have to do is hand in my form to the police station. Easy enough. It's a self-clearing one.

So I have 30 days (more like 21 now), to hand in the form to the station. My question is, this is my normal car and I need to drive it for obvious reasons. Am I able to be pinged again whilst I haven't fixed the problem but before my form is due? I'm definitely going to fix the issue, no doubt.. but I wonder if a cop can get me for exactly the same thing in between the 30 days? I've been avoiding alot of driving because I don't really want to get a worse punishment, just in case.

Am I right to drive?

yeah what FineLine said mate. just keep that notice or form what ever it is in the car for proof. even if they have a sad about it just rip out that form n show them. they should be right then

This was in the Morayfieldish/Redcliffeish area. To be honest, I have nothing else that's defectable. Not really in my interests to run a car that stresses me out all day long with the potential for more trouble. Everything is clean and tidy.

Some people plum the breather back into the intake manifold/plenum or into the intake just after the Air Flow Meter. Its not a hard fix. Where are you located?

Do this, this is the best setup to have IMO

      Hahahahah, look, your not wrong 馃槀馃槀 and thank you brother 馃檹馃徏 jokes aside, I haven't driven the car in 6+ years and it's like I'm starting all over again, and furthermore the car is wayyyy more powerful and it's characteristics are night and day different now compared to what I remember. So I'm slowly easing myself back into the groove, the car is literally scaring me a bit tbh.....it feels like it has 200hp more than it does on paper and responds like a cammed Ls v8, and-some! 馃槄 every single bit of throttle pedal travel and input has instant response all the way to the floor, zero flat spots or labouring feelings, it's nuts. Im shooketh, go easy on me hahahaha or don't 馃馃徏馃槉

      If the house has ever been sold before too, they have photos from that etc.

      I used to do that, but then I got savvy. The benefits of having your phone photos geotagged outweigh the negatives. I just don't publish any photo straight off the phone/out of the gallery/off google photos, etc. If I'm going to use a photo, other than for SMSing to fam, I will always open it on the computer, copy it/otherwise edit it and save down without the original metadata, before using it. For example, posting photos of my engine bay into a thread on here, to show someone a plug or something - I will just screen-cap the section I want to use and paste that section direct from the clipboard into the post. No metadata goes along with.
