haha good work brad!!! we were going to wait for you, but decided that if the cops were in the area trying to hand out stickers then we should probly move on before they blocked the bottom exit of the zig zags off and got out he "fines" book lol.....
So wait...... they performed a u-turn, lights flashing.... Flew past ALL our cars (many illegally low possibly), and some speeding as they crested the hill, passed the whole lot of us, went the WRONG way around a round-a-bout...... (its on video I believe people) he did ALL that because he wanted to ping you for having the ute too low? Are you seriouse?
Just as i said in another post a few minutes ago - police really need a new system for pulling cars ove for that kind of thing or a dedicated department for it - they just dont have the knowledge.
yeah,.. we could call it the "department of transport" or something... and give them proper resources like garages with "pits" for "inspection" ....wait a second
Ok, yes I do have the cop on video. He turned LEFT into the roundabout. i.e. He did a 'normal' left-hand turn into it (albeit the stop\approach was a little sudden).
Lights do not instantly give the Police permission to drive dangerously or disregard road rules. He was in a 4WD, not a traffic vehicle, no sirens were used either. The possibility of hitting someone heading into the round-a-bout looking the other way (oncoming traffic) instead of from the direction opposite to traffic would have been very hard to explain considering the vehicle they where 'chasing' was under the posted speed limit and cruising along behind another car in front. If this wasn't the case then forget it.
Yeah, they way he dodged around cars was a little dangerous though. Who has the video? Youtube it as "WA police hooning"...i'll tip off today tonight. I have this image a news report about a line of Z's cruising at normal speed and the cop zigging in and out of them dangerously.
If he is just cruising up through the hills then no i imagine they wouldnt - and a ute would stand out against a pack of imports too.
maybe thats the issue here It does seem (due to the mostly mature nature of WA Zed drivers....I think anyway), we as a group get very little Cop attention on cruises. Compare our cruises to Antilag, SilviaWA, and any "joint" cruise, and I can say I hardly EVER see a cop on a Zed cruise, and if we do, they seldom interfear. Maybe, just maybe this WAS the case. "Dont worry about the Zeds. They're a good bunch.. GET THE UTE!!!" (sorry dub )
I can say from what this poor excuse said to me that it wasn't the case, however I suspect what he was saying only had an element of truth to it. I wouldn't lose sleep debating it online however, I'm sure we all have better things to do than that. I've have seen some absolutely stupid driving done on early aus300 cruises and even some short sighted driving done on this cruise, it happens.
haha that good that cop didn't get his daily intake of giving out tickets. but ya that cop did a U turn in front of me and almost hit that blue Z (don't know his forum name), plus he broke so many road rules himself. When we went past all of us, I was thinking that he was gonna go at the front and make all of us stop and start checking all the cars. Someone said there was another undercover cop as well. So I decided to pull over and stop at the bottom of the hill for little while.
Ok, took it over to the zorst place. it's not the cats at all! It's actually the resonator that has crapped itself. Soooo, the guy is gonna replace both and all should be sweet. Around $220 he expects. If that's the case, I will have a pair of cats to sell
lol pretty sure, everyone that was infront of the cop pissed themselves. Great cruise tho , poor ute that looks soo sweet.
