Umm.. no they won't get it from me. The absolutle worst thing they can do is give me a canary of an EPA notice ( had one already ). Thats the difference. I take my bad behaviour off the roads.

Isnt this already in place in QLD, Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast?

no. if u got grey hair and glasses. my mate has a '85 carolla and got pulled on a sat night on his way home from work. it is as stock as the day it came off the factory floor. and he is on his l's. cops said it's a random roadworthy and this thing is straight as. purrs like a cat. no smoke from the pipeing. they looked at his tyres, looked up in the guards with a torch. measured clearence and sent him on his way... its crap

EFFalcon · 03-04-2006, 09:24 PM

weather u get looked at or cars taken off you depends on many things.

cops attitude
drivers attitude
time of night
location
other drivers in the area
cars appearance
cars sound
cars 'stereotype'

the best you can do is behave. if you're terribly stressed, don't cruise in the hot spots.
if not, risk it but don't ИИИИИ when an angry cop gets u for random stuff.

That Avatar John is freaking me out, maybe a latex mask can be made and handed to the people in Shep to avoid all this?

There is profit to be made!!

so the cops did a random roadworthy on a car.. that was stock... and passed.. and they just let him go on his way without any issue?
Oh my god, what has the world come to when logic like "random roadworthy's" passing roadworthy cars happens?

CaRtZ · 03-04-2006, 09:28 PM

dont have to misbehave. just be young and have a nice car. and the point of cruising is to show off ur car. not many places to do that in shepp

niko · 03-04-2006, 09:28 PM

who is that fat bastard anyway?? lol

so, what do you want them to do, leave every car alone, and allow piece of crap death traps to get around???

you said they checked it out and let him go....whats the issue with that
sounds like the cop was doing his job to me.....

hey im a p plater with a v8 and the hoon laws have bin goin on for ages, ive bin pulled over 17 times and not done at all, i may be a magnet, and get pulled over, but they are just doing there jobs, u have to watch the hot spots because the cops are on the prowl im 17 ans i know that. if you take off at the lights within a reasonable speed you wont get done, ill say it, dont be a dildo and you wont get done.

he was looking 4 evidence of burnouts. if there is they put ur rego on a list. find out ur address, owner of car etc... and try to bust u. take ur car to the track one night and bag em up to put warmth in ur tyres it leaves a trail of rubber in the guard. u did it legally but they dont care. u did a burnout!

CaRtZ · 03-04-2006, 09:38 PM

and a roadworthy is more than tyres and ground clearance!

ey he has a valid point here............

HLC · 03-04-2006, 09:41 PM

oh dear how hard is this to comprehend. seriously.

dont wanna be pulled over? dont drive.

what is hooning? i think its pretty straight forward to me. driving like a complete tossle. that is, full throttle acceleration from lights, dragging, burnouts, just general idiotic stuff. NOT accelerating slightly quicker than the car next to you that is being driven by a geriatric.

if your car looks/sounds like a hoons car, ie big body kits, big rims, subs that can be heard from 2 suburbs away, expect to be pulled over.

and if your car gets impounded, deal with it. you gotta learn somehow.

*end of thread*

CaRtZ · 03-04-2006, 09:41 PM

thank you. but like i said earlier. all you gotta do is be a young motorist and ur a prime candidate for hooning!

LOL go the factory spec '85 corolla. Reminds me of a certain Hachi-Go in a certain cartoon...

Casper · 03-04-2006, 09:42 PM

Lets look at this from a simple statistical point of view. In this forum we have 12ooo members of which probably a little over 2500 are heavily active. Of that 2500 (from all around the country) I'd guess 90%+ of cars are modified.. most have mags, exhaust and lowering (the easy to spot mods). There is also a massively disproportionate amount of under 25 drivers.. and a massive P Plate group. Of that 90% I have not heard of a single car being confiscated.. or even attempted to be confiscated.

I think you are fussing over nothing.

and why wouldnt you be?

it's been like that for YEARS. when my old man was my age, he was a hoon. the sterotype still stands.

Mate do you want to know why you're getting so much trouble from this?

I'm going to take a punt and say that you act and speak exactly like this to the cops. You whinge and moan, and frankly if i was a cop i would go out of my way to find something to screw you over for just because you're a whinging sod who would rather complain about things than just get on with it and conform like everybody else.

If you car is safe and legal (which it should be anyway), youve got nothing to worry about.

If you drive like an idiot then I want you off the road just as much as any cop does - if not more.

If you want to do burnouts - go and find the right place to do it.

If you want to whinge and complain about people doing their jobs and keeping the rest of us safe on the roads - find another forum.
