Has anyone got a funny story about being pulled over or being sent to court? i got a funny one mah couzin told me about him when he had his Ford GT 351 faze 3 or what ever you call it in the early 70's.. he was driving through a shopping town street when hes mates waved to him so he planted the foot and went from 1 end to the other of the shoppin town in basically 2 seconds and slammed into a chick reversin outa her parkin spot believe it or not he was to blame but in court he won! the court didnt believe that he could of gone that fast in such a small stretch of road! and that the ladie driver was at fault and wasnt looking when she was reversin! she had to pay for all the damaged done to the GT and cop the cost for hers too!. the GT was wasnt bent so it was repaired

i have heard stories of guys having big v8's in little cars and when the cop was looking for the enging number the guy who owned the car pretended to find it on the block and just quoted out the original engine number to the cop...

i have heard of a guy getting pulled over for speeding, and the cop letting him off but he had to take the cop for a high speed drive instead

haha now thats funny

Um, when i got out of the car when i got caught doing 143 up the freeway the cop just goes "Do you WANT to lose your licence?" Although i didn't think it was funny at the time, i think back and have a chuckle...i also had the nerve to ask him if there was "Anything he could do" so i wouldn't lose my licence and he replied "Not for going 43k's over the limit". I've heard a few stories, not sure if legit or not, of excessive speeds being let off because of cops being bored basically and wanting some action. Ricer got let off for going 40~k's over speed limit but got done for a BOV....another let a guy go because they, the cops, went over 160 to chase them as they just wanted some fun...dunno if legit or not. Also my gf's step bro is a cop, him and his mate were dragging down these old windy roads and crashed my gfs grandfathers (step bros grandfather in laws) real expensive car (no idea what car...it would of been expensive though...). Now theres responsibile cops for ya! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hahaha... did you lose yah licence when u where speedin mate?

I had to go to court, ended up spending a grand on fines/court fees/lawyers/new licence fees ... I was speeding probably 6-7 months ago...I had 3 mates in the car too all paro as (2 in the back were legless and the one in the front was just drunk...he asked how many people in the car went to check and i go "THREE!" so he wouldn't walk over there. I know it was irresponsible with people in the car but hey, i'm glad i got caught speeding, learnt me a lesson.

hahaha when my grandma was young (hahaha) she used to be a bit of a lead foot. Anyway she was lined up at a set of lights on beach rd (melb) and dragged these 2 guys of the set of lights....anyway they got up to about 140 - 150 and the guys turned out to be undercover cops, and they put there siron on and pulled her over and booked her. So then she thought that was a load of crap and took em to court. Turns out in court that the 2 cops got done for enticing her to race/drag and then letting the race get to high and dangerous speeds before pulling her over... The court gave her a warning and let her off. Pretty funny for a grandma story.

i got pulled over and lost my licence. cop refused to show me the reading but i didnt have the money to take it to court and fight it. game over

a mate of mine, was driving down a main road (60km/h road), he went past a cop car (radar) parked on the side of the road, he went past at 60kms he got flashed, he was life, what the hell, so he did a u turn, this time, going 50km/h he got flashed again, he did another u turn, this time at 40, went past the cop, and got flashed. he pulled over, went up to the cop and asked, what the hell is goin on. the cop replied with, mate, your seat belt wasnt done up... my mate got done 3 times because of it hahaha.

really? id only heard of it this once. i saw the tickets as well. think it was $120-140 a pot. but i mite be wrong

I heard that years ago. it's got many different tales: had redlight/speed camera and guy without seatbelt/talking on mobile/whatever infringement. Also: ShyVL you stole my avatar. On topic now: I got pulled over down in armidale by a local cop, I was speeding a bit (about 10km/h over), so I was like "ah crap... here come's a fine... ". He came upto the drivers door, gave me a breath test, had a bit of a chat about the days when cops were roaming about in vl's and sent me on my way. He was a champ of a cop. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

you'll love this story... Four youths from Canberra pulled off a trick of breathtaking bravado in order to gain revenge on a mobile speed camera van operating in the area. Three of the group approached the van and distracted the operator's attention by asking a series of questions about how the equipment worked and how many cars the operator could catch in a day. Meanwhile, the fourth musketeer snuck to the front of the van and unscrewed its numberplate. After bidding the van operator good-bye, the friends returned home, fixed the number plate to their car and drove through the camera's radar at high speed - 17 times. As a result, the automated billing system issued 17 speeding tickets to itself.

A few years ago I got pulled over by a massive cop speeding crew (doing like 70km/h) on this particular suburban rd at the top of the hill around the corner. Whilst one cop was giving me a ticket, another cop decided to check out my WRX which was only about 3 inches off the ground at the exhaust. He asked me about it and came to the conclusion that as I had low profile tyres on the car, �it had made the rear of the car drop down�. After I had said that I had not heard of �Regency Pk� (Where SA defected cars go to have their car cleared / inspected) and was really distressed that the tyres had made my car low , he didn�t want to trouble me with having to pay $50 to have it inspected there so gave me a cop station canary instead. The defect was stated to be �Rear exhaust section too low�, so I took the car down to my local Police Station the next morning with my factory brochure showing a large AWD Drive Train image that clearly showed the exhaust going under the diff and not over. I explained that the cop mistakingly thought that it was an aftermarket jobby and he didn�t understand that the car came like that from factory. That was why the exhaust appeared to be too low. The sympathetic cops came out and checked out the car and agreed with me (I wasn�t completely lying!) and made a phone call to have the defect cancelled then apologised to me for the incident. They were also very excited to see that the car came with 18�s, a 5� Apexi exhaust, race harnesses, pillar gauges and a shift light from factory too (I also know that since then, one of the cops from that station still has a very modified WRX getting around since seeing mine!) Another time, cops pulled over my little 1960�s car and decided to have a look in the engine bay with their mag light. After fiddling with the bleed valve and looking at the turbo, intercooler, plenum and oil catch can, they said �You know you have a little oil leak at the back of the motor there�. Yep!
