Got Defected But Only 1 Day To Clear?

[Lust_R33]

Hey guys, got defected last night after a dinner with family in seven hills/prospect hwy, had some kind of operation last night hwy patrols up and down doing laps, anyways got done for bald tyres, loud exhaust, pod, and 60mm off the ground, says i need to get a "pink slip" and only gave me 24hrs to clear it and today is sunday so basically nothings open. is it possible to call up rta/rms to give me a week to sort stuff out? i need to drive the car tomoro to work so im not sure if i should just risk driving to work then calling them when they open tomorrow?

any help would be great,

Thanks

Tam.

Wow they are really getting worse, I remember being done for the same thing on the way to work a couple of years back and got given 2 weeks

[Lust_R33]

yeh i wouldve thought they would give atleast a week being a saturday and sunday the next day but atleast i didnt get any fines, which is good but only a day its like they are testing me, im hoping i can ask them to extend it to 1 or 2 weeks, coz i just need to change exhaust and get stock shocks , whack on my airbox and stock wheels on with tread and im good. still shits me its a sunday and hardly any place is open today.

saw some poor guy and his girlfriend walking down the street while i was getting slapped around and he told me he's walking home coz they red stickered his "charade" only coz of cambered wheels. i felt lucky i could drive home and the 2 cops some how didnt notice the top mount gt3082 sticking out and thinks its only a pod filter and asked me where the turbo is. -_-

After speaking with a few cops the length of time they give will vary from none, to 3 weeks (maximum).

A lot of it comes down to how many idiots have given them lip, and how you speak to them. If you found that after you spoke the copper was a touch more firm/angry in his response you were most likely coming across quite defensive (in a bad way) or aggressive towards them.

Also depends on what you've been booked for in the past.

Bald tyres probably don't help either?

Seriously

How can they defect cars when they don't even know what bits are what

I agree, seriously how can they call you out on some things but have no idea? Crazy.

The popo's were on a cruise. Taken from another thread:

OT, that's a joke, 24 hours to fix?

I had a HWP pull me over and pop my bonnet, he knew exactly what to look for. This is the reason why I didn't go to TopGear. A whole bunch of defects going to one place is bound to be a killing zone for defects.

Yay for having a car that rarely leaves the garage

and is almost bog stock

and is a hell of a lot shinier than it was before Sunday

They didnt seem to be targetting imports at Top Gear, i saw a heap of cars pulled over around the weekend but not one was a modified import.... The cops were mainly directing traffic and were quite polite

Of course i was driving a Golf so i was stress free for a change lol

Hey the cops pulled me over yesterday, in my work. and actually were not to bad they said If I be a smart ass they would defect me, so I said I'm not be smart I'm just saying u guys will make me look bad to my boss pulling me up in work and he said shut up then checked my license and let me go. I think it depends what cop you get! And I had a blown out headlight and they let me go. How cool is that?
