he's just like me. a young guy with a truck that wasn't cert'd.. wow, how many people on here drive cars or HAVE driven cars in their life with uncert'd mods? I know I have.
that could have been me rolling my truck and killing my girlfriend.
so come on ae have some respect, I know numerous people who have rolled their trucks while out wheeling.
he was unlucky and it was fatal.
have some respect for him, he killed someone unintenially and has to deal with that for ever.
think about it. could have been many of us. he's no different so don't bad mouth him about it
as for the police, the useless pricks they are.
I'm in chch had a female with no ####### idea pull me over last week in my prado. 150mm lift 37s etc
tried to pink sticker my truck cos my cert plate doesn't say tyre size only rim 15x8, and her believing that can't be right? but it is.
so how do they have the authority to do this? like the cop last year same thing told me I'm not up to WoF standard cos I have no wing mirrors. my truck being older than 2000 is required to have an interior OR rh exterior mirror. did he believe me? NO
i agree with this,
most of us are or have in past driven cars with uncerted mods , and MOST of us do things to a certifiable standard so WE the users feel safe knowing that something isnt gonna fall off or snap while driving ,
im only 19 and have built some pretty dam fast street cars and when i have had them certed ive had numerous fines and VERY large arguments with the local police reguarding my cert , ive gotten out of that modified jap car scene jsut so i can have fun and not get hassled by cops but looks like thatl change soon
one incident i had just had the cert plate put on that morning and then later pulled up, the male cop tried telling me that my suspension height settings 285mm front and 265mm back were meant to be my tire sizes so why was i illegally driving around on 195/55 tires on my car??????
he tried telling me he had been to a tutorial on certs the week before??????, once i proved hiom wrong he tried giving me a fine for windscreen banner?
i let him write the ticket out for that one and then asked him to measure my banner , what do ya know it was legal 100mm across the screen, then once that went in the bin he settled for my number plate being bent back merely 15 degrees from rusty brackets and wind , he wouldnt budge on that? i bent it back in front of him and he said it was a snap shot in time or sum bullshit,
, so the ramble was just to say that some cops just wanna make it tough for no reason, im sure theres thousands of toyotas previas and people movers imported from japan drivign round on uncerted adjustables or exessively loud exhausts,
ARE THEY GONNA TARGET THEM NEXT?????
its just a pitty how one persons actions can effect such a big community of mostly responsible people who would like to have safe cars for themselves and other road users
