Ha come and wriggle my front seats! there as tight as they'll go to the floor but the upper half moves a fair bit when ya shake it!
Seat belt socks illegal!!!! haha what a joke..better tell my grandparents to take their seat belt socks off or they'll get canneried!
Just as you said, you can get some really nice coppers, we met some up at Springnats and were chatting to us at the lights! But there are a lot of coppers out there who think they own the world and all their power has gone to their heads and the attitude they carry is BS and shouldnt be accepted. Police should HAVE to speak to the public with respect unless the public starts yelling at them. We should be able to report bad attitudes to somewhere.
I remember seeing a story on Today Tonight a few years back about a regular guy who got fined for having one of those scented cardboard trees hanging from the rear vision mirror. These things are designed for this spot!
Anyway hope all goes well for ya Grechie! Good Luck!

regarding the loose seat, have you ever seen a copper check it? the one grabbed my driver seat next to the console, and the head rest and shaked the absolute shiite out of it, the whole car was shaking, and because it clicked, he said it was unroadworthy, same can be done for RV mirrors, some are dodgy...
i would have told him all the attitude was uncalled for, and not necessary (sp?) that is a disgusting attitude coming from someone who is supposed to be a respected part of the community...

Making your missus cry is pretty low and he should be ashamed of himself the dirty mongrel....

People go on about how police are "just doing their job". I don't recall a time I have ever made someone cry in my job, police professionalism is at an all time low and making excuses for them isn't going to help. I'm sure there are a few good cops left, but there were probably a few good nazi's but you don't see that on the history channel.

Off topic kinda, but there is also a shockwave XR8 that haunts around w'bee, seen him a few times. That green XR6 who got you Grechie was on the highway near the Forsyth rd overpass pulling people over for doing 100kph through the roadwork, which is 80kph.

Also, Grechie, I think I've seen your car near my place, sounds great! Theres a blacky/grey VR/VS with the plates ACLR8 or something similar, I've seen your car parked out front methinks.. I live round the corner from there :nutsycuck

first of all i helped him out and seats move the backrest part i mean and all of our cars would do it i will bet u. and also the front wheel was way over rw requirement it was better than most volvo xc90's we get in. fair enuff he got done for an unsafe car but for that cop to swear his head off and make someone cry thats not right i wouldve put in a formal complaint.
thats my 2cents anyway.
cheers josh.

Well it is a RWC item


Years ago the cops went over my mates HQ holden, could not fault anything so they canaried him for a Wheel alignment problem, even though tyre wear was good. It still cost my mate a day off work, a RW inspection and a trip to vic roads.
