After 1 min inspecting my front grill came back to the window (I switched the fan off then) Cop: Whats that noise? A fan I said. Cop: Whats it for? I was 17 then and trying not to laugh said COOLING.........I drove away with an expensive ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why do they have to show the readout or is it a requirement in Victoria?If you ever get pulled over and you feel that there was not a hope in hell that you were doing the speed they claim it is well within your right to view the radar readout.(Unless the cop reckons he got you on a speed check from 150 metres back, yes I got done for a bullsh!t charge) Edited 22/02/08 02:59 AM by tab Keep it civil.....some people are a bit precious!

A couple of questions now...*is a pod filter illegal? *I just bought a rapid cooler set-up when I install it will that be illegal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
