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!

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
