Was out cruising on Friday night, just popped out with some mates to grab a slab and some food. Cruising down the main street, and there, one of the nicest soarer's in town, has been pulled over and is being put onto a tow truck, surrounded by no less then 4 cop cars!
Now I have seen the car out many a time before, and the guy who owns it hasn't street raced, chirped the wheels or anything like that before. The one time that he does, the cops are there, and his car gets impounded for 48 hours.. and probably a couple of defect notices when he finally gets his car back...
Unfortunate, but just goes to show that driving irresponsibly just isn't on... well at least not on main roads when cops are around  |

I hate to say it and sound like a nazi, but people have to be responsible for their actions.
People know the laws.
If you break them you must be prepared to accept the penalty.
If you have illegal modifications you must be prepared to accept that as well.
Life is harsh when you live outside the lines of the law =) |

Yeah it was white mate.
As far as illegal modifications go, I think that he is safe, but going by the reputation of the local cops, who knows what will happen |

Reminds me of the joke about Joe The Builder who righteously complains he is not recognised for all the good things he has done, the punchline being "I •••• one goat!"
Er, sorry.  |

Self-evident.
I even included an apology with smiley for offence caused so if you do not get it then just move on. |

Joshua, I think David was making light humour of someone saying you never do burnouts or spin the tyres and such, then you say you got done for going " sideways" up the main street.
Kinda funny in a way When you look at it from the outside |
