i get rbt'd every single week!! Mostly because i work at silverwater & castle hill which drives me past a few D.U.I hotspots.

I always get the usual
"rev your car please"
"so wheres the turbo?"
- usual tyre tread check
- a check under the car

A few weeks ago i was pulled over by the popos thinking my car was a turbo'd car. They gave me some sh*t saying "dont be a smartass" & "we are quite familiar with this car". I poped the bonnet and the 2nd officer was like "crap sir... The engine is stock" LOL!

*** your always going to get good and bad attention by having a car like ours. Its something thats expected when driving a sporty looking car

Good luck i guess.

Lol man, jay, with all those tinting on the lights lol they didnt say anything? miricale wahha,
just one question, can they defect you for not having a stock airfilter?

harry90 · Post by **harry90** » Mon Jan 26, 2009 11:01 am

No, you cant get defected for stock air filter. You can get defected for a pod, but only if its not covered.

Miracle indeed... But then again 3 of the rbt's ive had since the tinting have been at night

One officer said its not too bad actually... So im going on the fact that he said they are not defectable, but i know a cop having a bad day will get me one day.

They can fine you, its your responsibility as a driver to be informed about all the laws associated with driving. So if you are caught driving a defectable can its still your fault.

Very true... Wasnt ducking behind the wheel though haha... Just like " hope they dont rbt me" in my head.... And the constant glance in the rear view mirror.
