why would you say that if you weren't there? I actually happened to be there and the cops were out to piss people off, purposely hating the fact there were 2 car cruises on and terrorising the streets. They knew at some stage that some of these cars were going to head to cott so they pulled everyone over to do random licence checks plus search the vehicles. They had yellowed at least 6 cars by the time drove the car to park it. They seriously were acting like wankers not us drivers.

no yellows would of got given out if ****s had legal cars... there shall be no whinging about yellows... if your cars not legal leave it at home if you cant handle a sticker...
ILLUSIV has bulk things it needs permitted. it was yellowed fairly... the pigs were just simply collecting some revenue from the cruises...
no one has the right to whinge about a yellow... if you think you do, take your car down the pits and they peel it off for free if your car is already roadworthy...

fair point but there are still far too many arguable b/s rules. people find it impossible to get information on what is and isnt legal. i mean ffs are pod filters legal?? i wouldnt have a damn clue one of my friends gets a yellow for one, then i hear from a police officer that they are legal so long as they are secured or something. It's crap! there needs to be clear cut, fair rules for everybody so if u break one of the rules you have no reason to complain!

im going to fully agree with evl here.
you cant say that you can have something with a permit then cops turn around and go nah you can't wtf! make one rule and stick to it.
i have a permit for my pod, and i think if you have been allowed to have the permit then your allowed the mod what you have the permit for. not to have it taken off you and go through the pits again. its unfair, not only is it time wasting, its money wasting too - time off work etc.

yeh but my friend got defected for his was held in by 3 inch u-bolts ?? that sucker was going nowhere. i think there needs to be a more constant system rather than it depending what type of cop pulls you over

like i said before to stop the bitching about copping a yellow... make your car legit... if it gets a yellow for a poxy reason... who cares... your cars legal so you can get the sticker removed free of charge... if the sticker dont get removed, your car is un roadworthy and you deserved a yellow so get some kleenex and stfu.

EVL: also there is no law that states a cop has to get you on a certain amount of things... a police officer only has to reasonably suspect your car of being un roadworthy and they can sticker it...

lol ah well guess its no good sitting here questioning it nothing will change just wish there was a more consistent system like police carrying a handbook so they could show drivers the exact wording of what is accepted for their particular mod.

yeh i've only once heard about a person getting it peeled off for free and that was he had his car over the pits then drove 5 min down the road and got a yellow. he went back and they pulled it off for him. im just offering suggestions as to how they could make it more accesible for especially younger drivers to know what they can and cant do to their cars. the traffic act is too long to read but maybe release a handbook like the ones you get when your doing your licence for just some faq's about mods and permits... im not whinging about getting yellows. i have only had one and that was for my old vl which is now out of commission lol i took it on the chin but it was a sad day

dude my mate got stickerd on a stock out of factory vx commy. just because he thought the tint was too dark. and guess what the car came out of factory with that tint
dude just face it there are ****head cops out there that have no idea about some of the rules. yes you should do the right thing and get permits and stuff but even when people try to do the right thing they are able to still sticker you for the things that you have already had checked over.
there are all different types of reasonalbe doubt but sometimes its just too far.
lol by the way i almost got a yellow 5 mins ago from coming home. fact is the car deserved the yellow but was lucky enough to have a nice coppa who let me cuise home around the corner. and yes it was for stupid things that i new but couldnt be bothered to fix but i am now.

dude i dont believe its the people owning the cars that need the handbook but the coppas.
most of the time people that do cars up try and do it right because they dont want the hassel. well i dont know about everyone else but i know i do.
anyway i think that there should be a handbook that police should have with them whenever they suspect that a modification is not legit. that way they can just look it up in the handbook and see for themselves rather than just slapping a sticker on the car cos they THINK IT IS rather than KNOW IT IS. and also the people with the cars can carry with them also.
i believe that will be the only way in which everyone will have a fair idea of what is and isnt allowed. and therefore nobody will be able able to winge about it. and also will take away all the crappy cops out there who think they know everything.
