hi all, just a query to make.. on the way home from work got pulled over by cops and they decided to have a browse at my car.. got done for a few little things i can accept that, but they also issued me a 292 fine for driving an unroadworthy vehicle??? is there such a fine as though ive never been handed out a defect before. cheers,

victoria/revenue raising thats what will be on the bottom of the next issue of number plates pig5 have to meet a target at the end of every month just like coles and woolworths, if they dont they sit down with the superior and explain why not they might have been called away off patrol(revenue raising) to actually do some police work which they factor in to why they havent met there target what im trying to tell you mate is a while ago they never used to give you fines for minor caneries but now they do or they have to answer to why they didnt i love police i have all the time in the word for them we share a mutual bond xoxoxxx cops

Just last week we got pulled over in my mates car coming back from a fancy dress party only a couple of blocks away from where were heading and bang there goes the disco lights. This is a stock pulsar with hubcaps, and yeah $146 + 3 demerit points because he couldnt read the number plate from 20m away. Absolute horse **** the number plate is clearly visible from even 25m away its lite up perfectly fine. He's going to contest the fine of course but he shouldnt have received it in the first place!! Absolute crap!

$292!? Didn't it use to be $170 or something?

yep $292 with 0 demerit pts, burns the pocket a little.. reckon i can dispute the fine or not really?

Well the fine was for driving it, and you've admitted driving it, you were the one the police pulled over. He said it's unroadworthy, so its unroadworthy. I wouldn't be contesting it.

i got done for ride height, on the defect form it said too low and handbrake to be adjusted, they never even tried the handbrake to see how it was, but they had nothing else beside ride height so they put the handbrake in there

The $292 fine can be accompanied with 3 demerit points so count yourself lucky.

mate copd exactly the same thing last night
