Ever had Mr Pig Officer follow you home?

[strutto]

Tosh, can they really book you for "excessive accelleration?" Especially if there's no wheelspin or anything?

I've heard of this before but it's always had me wondering...

Who defines "excessive accelleration" and how do they measure it?

[BlackR33GT-ST]

i dun think that exists, excessive acceleration, just because i like to go from 0-60 or what ever speed quicker then you doesnt mean im using my accelerator excessive

[ed R34]

yes you can get done for "excessive accelleration"

[Laurence]

So its 4am and im coming back from the gfs house driving sensibly...

Dude, if I saw a 94 year old driving a Skyline at 4am I would be curious too! :headspin:

The law reads like "testing a vehicles acceleration ability" or something. Its the officers discression too.

Just drive with your brains people. You know your car is fast so no need to run every wanker with a HSV.. even if they want it.. I have seriously changed my driving style in recent years, I pritty much just put around on the road these days.

If a pig followed me home like that, I'd report him for stalking and say that he exposed himself to me!!!!!!!!

[Tosh]

guys get over calling police cops FFS....

sure you get dickhead cops from time to time but you get dickheads anywhere in any industry. They're doing their job to make this country a safer place to live FOR YOU!! And at the end of the day if you get done for something then it's your own damn fault. Wear it and get on with it. There's no need to carry on calling them names or making derogatory comments.

We've all been done for various offences by the police... stop carrying on

[Poakey]

I like to think of it this way:

If I tally up all the times i've done something completely illegal (feel free to insert stupid/risky/suicidal) on the road and got away with it and subtract the number of times a cop has so much as looked in my direction without my giving him any reason, then I would still be ahead by a long way. now I can't account for the driving style's of all the members of SAU, but I fell pretty certain that this would apply to the vast majority.

P.S Tosh - What goes on tour stays on Tour, you little 50c salad eater!

[Tosh]

mate don't tempt me!

[T0nyGTSt]

This sort of thing is easy to counter... if you see a police car, drive PERFECTLY.

I mean stop for give way signs, drive sedately, do not accelerate more than a Camry, take corners slowly, indicate, check mirrors.... they'll get bored or they'll pull you over.

heh, interesting experience bout 2 mins ago

came home from uni (late night), turned into the street off my street, saw a cop car bout 20m in front but made nothing of it and turned into my street on the left, pulled up onto my driveway and waited for the turbo to cool down...

5 seconds later, the same cop car (i'm pretty sure) pulled into my street, slows down to around 5ks and drives past me... i opened the garage door and drove in (didnt want to look sus idling on a driveway) and continued with my business.. cop car drove back out and back onto the main road again..

funny thing is.. there is no way the cop car could've did a U-turn and turned back into my street within the 5 or so seconds (big kerb thing with plants in the middle up onto the end of the street) unless he did a u turn into the same lane and went against traffic for a good 20 metres =)

but its good to know cops care =)

OK everyone, to get into the photo gallery to upload pics, you need to clear your internet history then goto SAU Classifieds and login there as you would for the photo gallery. Then goto SAU Gallery

and all the options should be there!!! MAKE sure you do all this through the menu on the left of the home page.

next time you're followed home have a little fun and pull up about 2 houses up from your place and bolt out of the car as quick as you can leaving the engine running and the lights on etc, after they chase you just tell em you REALLY needed to piss and couldnt wait to turn the car off

ps if you do this you are a sillybugger
