So is it me or are RBTs like Maccas - would you like a bullshit fine with that?. Does everyone know that if your engine bay door is just a push lock, not a key lock that you are breaking the law.
So go get those padlocks pop riveted on boys and girls.

My XM Falcon only has a latch under the bonnet to open it by. It was never fitted with a catch that you have to yank on from inside the car to pop the hood. It doesn't matter anyway, I would be fined because the bumper bars are made of steel and therefore dangerous to idiots who get hit by me. Were they a young cop? They could issue you with a defect notice because your 1960's car isn't fitted with factory iPod holder?

If you can't fix it with a hammer,
you have an electrical problem....
My legal advisors have told me I cannot comment publicly. Needless to say Im over my 'police woman' fetish and back to good old Nurses.
iPods are illegal btw. Unless you are static.

hey ash dont forget to be reading your daily newspaper as well,you could also have a nice little doggy on your lap to help you drive as well .dont all laugh see it often usually on the freeway.
i started with nothing and have most of it left !
that means that if you even DARE think about doing anything other than work in an office, and drive this years Holden, then you are up for a $600 on the spot fine for having a personality! :duh

I saw a policeman typing on a keyboard in his highway patrol car the other day with the engine running, surely that's got to be illegal too...oh that right, he's highway patrol, they make the law.🙄
Talk to ya lawyer deano and get it overturned
I've seen a chick talking on the paddy wagon radio while driving. not good.
Bought my son an aftermarket steering wheel for his Civic:blush and now he's been pulled up and told that as it's not padded in the centre it's illegal and has been given a defect notice!!
I think we all can what the problem is here...he was driving a civic! :duh
Tell them to bugger off. If the car didn't come out with a lock for the engine lid when new, there is nothing they can do about it now as it complies with the laws in place at the time it was manufactured.

are rego checks not ment to be saftey checks?
also, how can they fine you for having a STANDARD unmodified vehicle?
cause they are cocks.... realy..
have been thinking about this sort of crap alot whilst overseas....
the police in greece were absolutely mocked... speedlimits dont apply... people drive cars that are U shaped from being hit and dinged up, body panels missing or scraping the ground at ridiculous speeds of 200km+ and there are no issues... no speed cameras, no rbts.. its relaxed..
authority figures in oz have set the bar much too high. soon life wont be fun. they are deadset sucking the fun out of me i tell you that much. too much $$ involved in it all...
but anyway

i didnt think that a current law can be made retrospective... ie your vehicle never came with a lock as a standard component, and they can not make you fit them. same with seat belts, unless you have modified the engine and stuff.
i have had them try for a variety of things over the years. but managed my way around all of em. including one time when i was pulled over (RBT at 11pm, pissing down rain on the F3) and the cops where argueing over my opened safari windows, sun glasses and drenched seating position with no seat belts and RPM guage on the dash. was a fine half hour chat that night.

What would they do with a TVR?
They don't even have door handles on the outside. Solenoid release button under the mirror. - That's factory! and they are able to be registered!

its all just silly, back in scotland used to have a full race mini that was just road legal on a good day with a bit of luck.
got pulled over by the cops one day, asked what was wrong, was i speeding,?
no the guy was just liked mini's. and wanted a chat.
After the chat he said could I boot it to see how fast it went!!!
it was also quite popular to modify your mk1 gti's with keyless entry back home, would this be illegal over here?
its all bullshit they just want money..i got defected once for not having my gears engraved on my gear ball.his excuse was if i had a heart attack and we gotta move your car for you we gotta see where the gears are.my reply was 'no wonder you dorks get autos'!liverpool police are c%&ks!!!!!
