FTO AUSTRALIA

so last night i got pulled over around 12am by an undercover cop. he pulled me over coz as i was coming off the m7 i gave the car a little bit of gas. so he followed me. i saw his headlights suddenly move into my lane , thought it was a drunk driver so i moved into the left lane but didnt indicate.. it just slipped my mind and then i saw his blue and red lights and i s****** my pants. straight up goes i can decide to book you for speeding and aggressive driving and since your a p plater you lose your licence for 3 months.

then he inspected the car, found so many defects.
1) angel eyes
2) LED strips
3) stickers on the inside of the bonnet that are coming off..
4) pod filter since its not 'boxed' properly
5) i have a checkered plate as my floor mat he was going to take it off me lol
6) my pillar on the side for the gauges

they then tested my seat belts and door.. he said the doors are nice since its quiet lol..

the other guy said they can take the car off me but instead they said to just go home and fix the car.
far out im such a lucky guy. and there are truly nice cops out there!

WTF. really?

Better tell the RTA who put a sticker on the inside of my bonnet to fix their shotty work so I don't get a defect then

yeah he full pointed at it and said its defective.. i was like really? and i think it was written in japanese haha!
i dont know man.

Be worth tidying up a few of those things as they may have taken note of your plates. If you get pulled over again, at least if youve made an attempt to fix some of them it will look better.

if they were nice cops they wouldnt have serched your car lol
did they ask where your flare is ( seeings the car came with a flare so it should be in the car )

Actually, youd get done if it was there. Flare is supposed to be removed for ADR compliance.

Agreed
rock_it will attest to this

Yeah I've taken off my tail light tints now. Car looks naked haha.
He searched under the car as well don't know what he was looking for. Maybe to see if I got an exhaust system?
He also looked at my tyres and in between them. Have no clue what he was doing. He said he's impressed that I got the car for 10.5k though lol.

True

However some people aren't smart enough to think of that, and simply put/ leave a de-cat in.
instant ping and very nice fine for them on the spot.

One day though, im willing to try out a punched cat
