Burns, midnight is correct. The plate and id on the bonnet cannot be seen so if you remeber the time you took those pictures you might be able to find out who was petrolling that area at that time, it could come in handy so try to remember it! (Be specific when stating those things, time/date/area). Good luck mate! =D

That may be true, but look again - there is an independent witness who could possibly verify the rego or police vehicle ID number and hence solidify the ID of the person driving the police vehicle. Also, DO NOT show the police the pic at all. Wait til you have asked him the question and got him to state that he has never crossed the centre line, and then spring the picture on him in court. The judge will have little choice but to dismiss the case based on the police officer's lack of credibility (basically, lying).

Go for it and good luck.

hahahahahaha, as always.... there is a something that can be referenced from the Simpsons

if i may bring everyones attention to exhibit A: Lionel Hutz

"Hutz: Now Mr. Nahasapeemapetilon, if that is your real name.

Have you ever forgotten anything?

Apu: No. In fact I can recite pi to 40,000 places.

And the last digit is 1.

Homer: Mmm... pie.

Hutz: Well if you never forget anything. Tell me this. What color

tie am I wearing? (turns around)

Apu: You are wearing a red and white club tie in a half-windsor knot.

Hutz: Oh, I am, am I? Is that what you think? Well if that's what

you think, I have something to tell you [ugh]. Something which may

shock and discredit you [ugh]. And that thing is as follows

(as he finally undoes the whole tie). I'm not wearing a tie at all.

[jury gasps]

Apu: If I am wrong about that. Maybe I am wrong about Mrs. Simpson.

Hutz: No further questions.

[Hutz raises his arm and the tie is sticking out of his sleeve]

Thanks for the some times useful replies.

I will only be using the unedited photos straight out of the camera. I was actually looking for a for CSI style digital enhancement to be able to read the numberplate, car id or see the driver. But the other work is most entertaining.

The random farmer is my old man so not really an independent whiteness. He now has a gut ake from laughing at the incriminating photos.

I will take the how can it be justified that I get fined for it when a cop car dose it too. It must be safe. I also have a few other strong arguments and can get written statements from a few people stating that the nature of the corner dictates that it is natural and safer to straiten the corner.

The tyres are on wheels I borrowed to put on the car for a few weeks while I was waiting for my new wheels to arrive. My stock 16 where getting close to unroadworthy and I didn’t want to lash out for tyres to put on them when I was getting new 17’ in a few weeks.

well if you are relying on "but the cop did it" to get off .. it's not worth pursuing.

It's like saying "well that minister went and robbed a bank, therefore I can too " ..

The excuse "but somebody else was doing it" kind of means nothing in court dude..

Again, just because "it was safe" won't get you anywhere as well, as you broke a listed road rule.. I could say I was going 10km/hr over the limit because it was dry and nobody around - again that's not going to get you off anything when it comes to these things

Too bad about the fine some cops just instantly spot any import and think "omg this guy/girl is up to no good cause their car goes faster and has different wheels!!" like omg guys get a grip its a car like any other (well almost..) doesnt mean they have to pick on us!!!!!!! grrr...

bahahah at ur pic pantae!

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
