Laner Former MPS3 Driver! Donating Members 735 Member For: 18y 14d Gender: Male Location: East Ballina NSW Posted 19/02/07 08:58 AM Share Posted 19/02/07 08:58 AM ok, here's my opinion, I drove a 14sec xw gt whilst on my p's, way past them now, it was immaculate and always looked 100%....never had 1 hastle, my previous ride b4 the T was a 95 honda civic fully modded, lowered 3' on 17's but all other mods were legal (seen the b.s the cops can dish with my little bro's turbo tx3) the honda was a cop magnet, now in the long run, I guess I knew 2 expect it in the civic, but considering im now 30, I aint a hoon no more, I came 2 the conclusion that, a immaculate xw was more classy and therefore, less likely 2 be flogged than a dirty little civic.....all said and done, the gt was probly more defectable than the civic, but as I said, nuffin......I guess even mr plod has taste aye??

There was two set of lights and for some reason I though it was green on first set but actually it was red and green was on the other lights futher down The thing is cops were doing U-turn when I went though the red light! if they were couple of seconds faster I would have smashed right into them. Obviously they freaked out and pulled me over...policeman asked me wtf you think you doing lol and I told him I got mixed up with he lights and stuff, he didnt even fine me or anything not even breath teset. My conclusion is if your honest and not being cocky the chances are that they'll be nice to you and let ya go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been pulled over in the wee small hours (left nightshift early) and PC Plod freely admitted it was because of the car. My argument was that I wouldn't be doing 55 km/h if I was out for trouble and his argument was that he was just doing the right thing which I agreed with. If my T had been stolen and they hadn't pulled the car over then I would have been spewing. I had nothing to hide and was glad to provide a breath sample but the bottom line was if I'd been driving the missus' car then there wouldn't have been a roadside discussion.←The problem wasn't really the car you were driving, it was the hours you were driving. My missus and I have been pulled over heaps in her '03 lancer, and even in the old little laser. Simply because we were driving around at 4:30am and one of the few cars on the road. A cop isn't gonna target an XR over any other normal road car during normal daylight hours.The cop might have admitted that he pulled you over because of your car, but in reality, most cops out and about at that hour will pull cars over, regardless of the model. Personally, I think the cops target the older cars like commodores/falcons etc etc with cut springs, chopped exhausts and stuff. If your XR is relatively standard looking most cops don't give it a second look, they're so common now.Coldnt agree more mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
