Just keep your cool and speak nicely to the officer, chances are they will return the favour.

"Good Evening Officer"

"Are you aware you were doing 11km/h over the speed limit back there sir"

"I was unaware I was speeding officer, to my knowledge i was abiding by the law travelling at the speed limit. Do you have a radar reading I could see?"

..... and take it from there I guess.

Actually a police officer no longer has to "show you" his radar speed reading, that law changed end of 2003. Basically the whole law works on a trust thing, they pin you but dont have to back up anything with evidence, basically what they say goes and you can't fight it (speeding, defects, blah, etc)

"Just don't speed" :D Geez fellas, a bit above that aren't we?

Basically, if you get pulled over, be polite, but don't admit to anything. If you're asked "do you know why I pulled you over", you can either say "no, sorry" or "RBT?" or something like that, but don't say "yeah, it was for ten over... oh, and the donuts I did on Smith St" :D If they do decide to give you a ticket and you were in the wrong, deal with it and remain polite. If you did nothing wrong, take the ticket, mention that you will be contesting it for x reasons, eg if you sped up to avoid a truck, make SURE you mention the truck to the officer. If it goes to court and you suddenly come up with these reasons that weren't mentioned at the scene, you're much less likely to be let off.

The guys here are correct when they say the police don't have to prove you did anything wrong. Gone are the days of "innocent until proven guilty", these days if the police SUSPECT you of breaking the law, they can book you and then the onus is on you to prove that you didn't, or in the case of a defect, to show them your car after you have "fixed" the non-existent defect.

Yuu can get done for speeding by any cop with or without a radar. If you take it to court, you have a chance of getting off. But it will be your word against his. If you know you were speeding and the cop knows it, then I would say forget about fighting it in court unless you can pull some really dodgy shit (fake witnesses, a $1000/hour lawyer, etc). Because if the cop is honest and has a good record of winning traffic violation cases, then you will most likely lose and get stuck with a bigger fine/court costs. But if the cop is a dodgy pr*ck and has pulled fake tickets before, then the judge will see that he's lost a lot of these before and give your story more credibility. But don't count on this.

Got caught having a run with a commondoor the other week.

Cop: "Can u explain why that was neccessary back on ultimo rd?"

me: "Why wat do u mean officer?"

Cop: "How fast do u think u were goin back there?"

me: "About 60 officer i think"

Cop: "Bullshit son u were going like a bat out of hell!"

me: "No way officer, i was only in 2nd gear"

hahaha Only got a lecture that time.

and when i got caught doing 120 or so in a 60 zone

Cop: "wat do u think the speed limit is here?"

me: "60 i think officer"

Cop: "and how fast were u going?"

me: "about 60 officer"

lolol He only got me for 15 and under.

Speeding is bad people! mmmmkay!

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
