 Re: Defected
What were you "pinged" for?
I assume that there is a short list of, what the officer thought were, unroadworthy items.

Edit
For our overseas friends, the yellow defect sticker above the rego label was once popularly known as "The Golden Award."
The "cross" that he refers to would be Kings Cross, a seedy part of Sydney, seething with Nightclubs, prostitutes, pimps, drug addicts, pushers, crooked cops, & muggers,... & thats the good part.

Man thats a bitch, i hope you didn't get pinged for much, i hate the pits. one place stung me for factory wiring saying "no car manafacturer would wire a car like that" and they were talking about the headlight switch
you know
pull the light nob out 1 click head lights and parkers
flick it to high beam and the lights go out and only parkers are on
and then second click and the lights come on high beam flick the stalk back to the original position and you have normal head lights.

he wouldn't even look at a wiring diagream the bastard.

 Re: Defected
First i pass the unmarked (on the opposite side of thr road at a stop) and give the officer a nod. I think nothing of it and have driven a few streets away parking my ute out the front of my work and woooooh wooop, i have to drive down the end of the street pull over. This is when the fun begins, frist record check, which usally raises a few irelevant questions, then after hes got nothing he decides to check my car .nothing. Defect time. Pulls me for a loose drivers side door (anyone got any hinges??), frayed seat belt , and a missing bolt on a passenger seat.. he didnt even see the mirror.

After all that he hasnt got a defect book so he calls a highway patrol officer from HQ in surry hills, and screws me around for another half hour.

Theres more i recify the problems (except door) and go to the mechanic to clear it, but the coppa has given me the wrong piece of paper.

So to make a long story not any longer, i went to KC cop shop talked to the traffic sargeant and had the thing cancelled. The HW patrol officer didnt even fill the notice out properly and didnt sign or leave his number on the thing

just trying to get to work and nod

 Re: Defected
was it because of the missing side mirror shown here ? if you have the plate for the mirror but no mirror, that could be a defect. it sticks out like a sore thumb (in this photo anyway)
unfortunate to see a 1200 being defected when its not even a dragcar or non-legal looking car. that cop must be pretty underworked to bother.

Gotta love Japan, with all the crazy cars and the 2 or 3 year shaken (rego), complete lack of highway patrol and abundant bicycle theft (nearly the only crime here in JP) when the Police find they have little to do they go around knocking on doors introducing themselves and asking residents if they have any complaints!

It's an attitude thing, in Australia they tend to make trouble rather than reduce it.

 Re: Defected
is say FTP, F**K THE POLICE. they can come and try and catch me, good luck.

they have tried a couple of times with no luck. but dont worry they know all the rev heads, my old number plates were on the notice board at the cop station for a year or so, they just couldn't catch me in the act.

who doesn't like cranking some massive burnouts ?

I've always known them as a "canary". But the young-uns probably have another different word for em by now...
