[MikeyG]

yes recaros are fine, just fixed seats are issues with police

[Petronas]

Is it illegal to cover your whole car in P plates in NSW?

Like showing nothing but lights and windows?

I'm on my red P's - I got a speeding fine of exceed 15km/h (so lose 3 demerit points).

Do i lose my license for 3 months then have 1 point left when i get it back ? Or as lose all 4 points (due to automatic lose of license thing) and then get 4 points back at the end of the suspension.

I just thought i'd post it up here.
my gfs dad owns a small rigid truck, it is loaded with pallets daily. the side of the truck has been hit with a pallet a few times and has been smashed a bit out, probably around 4cm from the original position (basically been dented from the inside so the side is out 4cm or so from the original position).

He was pulled over, 3 cops looked over the truck and deemed it defective as the side was "dented and extended the width of the overall vechile".

Okay fair enough this is correct. However, on this truck (and most trucks in australia) the side mirros extend past the rear container of the truck a good 30-40cm at LEAST. therefore, how does a 4cm dent in the rear container make the vechile's width...wider?hmmm

that is plain bullshit.. he wanted to stir shit on purpose.. have this appealed in court

you guys are hella worried about this defect and demerit points stuff, that is max penalty, usually if your not a douche to the officers they wont even go into demerit points, atleast thats from personal and friends experiences. so dont be a dick and give them the respect they deserve and they (most) wont be hard on you, remember they are just doing their job.

i got pulled over, didnt have my license, didnt have p plates on the car

he gave me an 80 dollar no point fine for the no license, just said make sure you check your plates are on next time, alot of people steal them so people get in shit off us

I think its bullcrap that if u lower ur car 1.5 inch all around and have a lip its a defect because the lowest part of the car is less than 10inch



GRRRR

[lolwuut]

i guess their defence is , if you hit something travelling at 100km/h ,, it make break off your car, fly and hit another car, causing more damage
