dankman Member 270 Member For: 21y 8m 23d Location: zadank village Canberra Posted 22/03/04 04:57 AM Share Posted 22/03/04 04:57 AM Just thought I'd ask about something that scared the crap out of me on the weekend.I pulled up at one of my mates places at 5 am on sunday morning to be greeted by 2 police officers. Normally not a problem. Apparently one of the neighbours called in that they were disturbed by a lot of cars pulling up and taking off making noise when I took off to take some of my friends home being the usual designated driver. Funnily enough I only left once and returned in 10 minutes.The police officers were pretty good explaining why they were called out and asked what we planned to do to rectify the situation. I explained what our side was and they seemed pretty happy that we were being quiet.One thing that they did point out though, was that when I got out of the car, I was only wearing socks. Why I dont know but I do remember something bad about not having shoes on whilst driving. Is this an offence for one, and two what is normally the penality?Thanks,ChrisP Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9767-one-for-vg-or-plonky/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 22/03/04 01:02 PM Share Posted 22/03/04 01:02 PM Yeah, sox (especially with garters holding them up), a white business shirt and boxer shorts is not really hip driving attire and would definately rate a mention by our fashion concious constablary? :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9767-one-for-vg-or-plonky/#findComment-104062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
