Who is the wanker? Me or The Cop

Hey Guys

So i received my first ever driving offence today and no better place to ask if im being a wanker and should just get over it or was the cop being a wanker and in the bad mood.

So got fined for not having my seat belt on. $265 and 3 demerit points.

Pulled out of my work drive way in Gordon on Wade Lane with out my selt belt on, im sure we have all done it before, then i had my selt belt on like 2 seconds later as i was driving up the road.
Next street along Park Ave about 500m away, i get pulled over by a under cover cop. Comes up and says

Officer - "We have you on video not wearing your seat belt, do u have any reason for not wearing your seat belt."
Me - "No, i just pulled out of my driveway by the time u pulled me over i had my selt belt on"
Officer - "Well we saw you with out your selt belt so were gonna have to fine you"
Me - "Are you serious? This would be my first driving offence in 7 years and i had my selt belt on with in 5 seconds of me pulling out of my driveway"
Officer - " What if a car had hit you coming straight out of ur drive way, we are just doing our jobs and looking out for your safety"

Comes back with this massive fine and i loose 3 demerit points. Is that shit house or what. Not gonna fight it cause technically i was in the wrong i know that. But what an ass hole cop, so many worse things out there then this crap.

Am i being a wanker and should just get over it or was the cop just a fag.

cop being a wanker..

u must of got him on a bad day.. I've been pulled over for the same thing just outside my work at olympic park and i told the cop similar story to yours my first fine in 6 years of driving. but the cop let me off just telling me to not do it agian.. and ever since i always put my belt first before i even start the car LOL!

but its wrong

nah didnt even bother fighting him cause he was just in a bad mood from the word go.

just find it shit how i then had to drive through a school zone and people were going about 60-70 in a 40 zone and i get pinned for not wearing my seat belt for that 2 seconds as i pulled out of the drive way.

Buy a takata harness

I bet you'll put that on everytime won't you.

But in all seriousness shouldn't have admitted anything

**jeffreymui** · 08-09-2011 04:02 PM

should put on the seatbelt whenever u get in and start the car, its common sense!

**bennjamin** · 08-09-2011 04:14 PM

Sorry mate it's common sense. Yes we all have done it - but if i got caught I wouldn't make a thread about it because i would look like ...umm....a wanker lol.

Learn for next time champ !

you and the cop are being wankers.
cop being a wanker cos overcharged you and the points..

**redefine** · 08-09-2011 04:17 PM

cops being unreasonable. yes its the law, yes you technically were wrong, but you had every intention of putting on your seatbelt and any reasonable cop woulda left you with a warning.

i can underdstand your frustration of being fined n whatever. your not a wanker so to speak. you are however in the wrong. the second you start that car your seatbelt should be on. its common sence..
