Our rights as motorists

[curtis265]

On another note, once I witnessed someone being arrested by a bunch of cops, and I asked "what did he do?" and a reply from a female cop was "get out of here before we lock you up".
Of course, I just kept walking, but I find this to be abuse on some level, and am I obligated to accept it? I guess what I am asking is could they lock me up had I not left and/or made a few more questions?

acting tough

shoulda said 'make me'

then you get a move on order

I saw this chick copper chase this suspect down, as she ran past me she stacked it hard. Face planted.

I heard that distinct THUD.

Gets back up keeps running past me

LOLOLOL

Female cops are usually super aggressive to men to show dominance. Having a vag doesnt exactly scare hard crims.

yup, and not just female cops. female customs and quarantine officers also tend to have a attitude problem too. i guess its their way of asserting their power, and it only works on people who dont want trouble (ie. people like you and me). on the other hand, hard crims just laugh at them.

i saw a cop on a motorbike overtake me at speed only to lose it on a corner, stacked it hard, and broke a few pieces off the bike. i had a good chuckle because at the way he overtook me, i could tell he was one of them douchey officers who are all out to book as many motorist as possible.

In my opinion, and apologies if I offend anyone, but I think that women in Australia are too empowered. It has gone from them wanting equal rights to demanding special treatment and double standards. And sadly I have seen so many Australian men cave into women.

not just australia my friend. any of the industrial worlds that have given women "equal rights" tend to abuse it.

This is going to make me look like a chauvinist but from experience this is TRUE. Doesnt happen all the time but when it does, IT FU(KEN SH1TS ME
Many moons ago when I was going through boot camp, my Corporal was a chick. There was something really wrong with her.

The other male NCO's were stern and put you in your place, but only to instill qualities and values into you. This bitch just like to yell cause no one would take her serious because she was a medic. Which isnt a bad thing, but she saw it as a weakness which she made up for my portraying herself as some mad dog, yelling at everyone. In particular me, I dont know why she always used to pick me last and give me shit. At the end of training I ended up with a trophy for my jedi skills.

No thanks to that slag. Always telling people how she is Special forces qualified.
No one gives a sh1t your not in the special forces so STFU. NO CHICKS ALLOWED.

HAHAHA.

Goes wrecklessly to fast into a corner. To prove his bad-arse-ry.
Loses control and crashes

After almost 30 years of driving modified cars I can happily say that politeness counts. I read half of the questions and responses and couldn't stop laughing at them

If in doubt as to what to do, ask Chris Rock:

Glad to know I can record a video on my iPhone if I get pulled over. Thanks dudes!

From my experience I have also found that being polite goes a long way. Only ever copped sh!t from a cop once because I almost ran him over but I don't think it was my fault. I turned a corner and in front of me a 4WD was driving slow, then turned into a Safeway, so I went to speed up (70 zone) only to realise a cop standing in the middle of a lane on Princes Highway had flagged him into a RBT lol. He yelled, swore, slammed his radio on my bonnet, I should fine you for wreckless driving etc.
Just said I'm sorry dude, didn't see you behind the 4WD, won't happy again etc. Got off.
Most of them are just normal people like us. Have good days and bad days, but probably well-intended for the most part otherwise they'd surely have picked a better/higher paying career.

Don't agree with you here. All people should be empowered. I'm all for equality, but not 'sameness' and there's a big difference. Women don't have equality and lets be honest - men love power (and enjoy it more often) just as much or more than they do. We just don't like it when the boot's on the other foot for once, since for thousands of years the majority of civilisation has been patriarchal not matriarchal.

I work in a female-dominated industry. You really notice the amount of BS they get because they're a large group of women. Crap rights, crap pay, SFA appreciation for what they do... and I was stupid enough to join them

Guys I found this dashcam in Big W for $78 and the video quality looks good from the youtube examples

The True 720p high definition video gives you enough detail to pick out number plates, street signs and even the faces of witnesses. Recording in a continuous loop, the NAVCAM-HD turns on when you car is on and turns off when you switch off the ignition, simply "set and forget".
You can even choose to leave the unit on (it has a rechargable battery) when you're not there and the NAVCAM-HD will start recording as soon as it senses movement... ideal for those times when your car is unattended in a car park.

Very interesting. Would have saved me a few hundred $$$ on my last crash when some b!tch pulled out in front of me from a parallel park, admitted guilt, then told her insurance company I tried to overtake her while she turned right into a driveway.

I didn't see anywhere about how long it can record for?

Anybody wanna be guinea pig?

[GU357]

i have a gator one that i got for about the same price, i find that it consumes alot of memory 20 min clip is like 4gb.
which is great if u wanna record a track event. so you really need a big SD card for these devices.
