I am on my provisional ! license. Heres the story... Now i work night shift at Big W (yeh i know lol) and sometimes take me work mate home (about 400 meters from work) ...He IS 22 years old. (turned 22 about a month ago) Now when i left work no more then 100 meters i see a cop the oposit way....then they turn around and wait at the light's the street over behind me...lights turn green (for both of us) i go (slowly as i knew they were gonna get me) they fly up and lights etc...i pull over. now i dont really care if they pull me up or not (about the 4th time in the last month or so) all the other timea i have been pulled over they were nice etc (guys and chick cops ) quiet polite cops:thumbsup:
To night i had a chick cop come over and says: M = me C=cop T= mate (tom)
C: how are you tonight just pulled you over for a rbt and a liscence check (th hole time she was a bitch) M: yeh im ok thanks C : looks at license and says (with the most dirty looking smirk on her face) "Matey you are a provisional 1 license holder.."Do you know what that means?" M: Umm..no not really? C: looks at me mate (has uniform on..i had jumper on) How old are you T: 22.... C: do you have any ID on you (Tom pulls out his 18 plus card) C: (to me) you do know what this means don't you? M: (still abit confused) no i don't..what???? C: your on you p1 license and have a passenger in the car that is 22 years of age. M: yeah...so...???...im allowed to have one passenger 21 years or over in the car after 12 or something...unless its changed..which i dont think it has!! (i was close with the rules though) see link) C (getting allitle ****ed) Ill have to check THEN!! but i don't think it is. me and tom were like WTF....then tom goes ...man i hope you dont get fined...i said Why? they cant fine me for this!:p
anyway i could here her and another male cop talking on the radio (being told the rules...which wasn't right anyway) then she comes back and say "you are lucky mate as he has just turned 22. if he was 21 you could be in a bit of trouble!",..... cya. (thast all she said.)
im just a little confused as now that i have checked the rulings for p 1 license holders in Queensland it states that i am only allowed 1 passenger under the age of 21 (excluding immediate family members) between the hours of 11 pm and 5 am....that means (scenario) i can have one 18 year old passenger and tom in my car as he is 22.....also (another scenario) i can have 4 people 21 years and over in my car and they cant do **** (i belive) see link.. Restrictions
what ****ed me off is that they didn't know the CORRECT rules...and there the cops!! like the way she was saying is if tom was 21 i would be fined etc....BUT thats a load of ****..im sitting thinking to my self...FINE ME FINE ME ...so i can ram it up your ass as its not a valid fine!
she was also abit ****ed off that my rego was VALID..haha i kid you not lol .....this is the first time i have gotten a brain dead cop!!:p:p
anyway sorry its long but im just a bit ****ed off thats all:whistling
Hell that sounds about right. There trying to do my mate for making a faulse statment. (story of what happend is attached) http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/07/04/2294525.htm the guy waited for him to check the place then confronted him. cops plastered the story in the media papers, news.... When they got nothing from that they shifted there attention to him. he stands to lose his security licese if convicted of the charge and will lose his job. took him down the station to question him further about it grilled him for an hour then told him if he confesed to making a faulse statment he could go home then started the interview tape. He said he's not reporting anything to them any more unless he has some one to handover to them. I spoke to his solicitor and if the cop doesnt with draw the charge he will be the one in a lot of trouble. but the cops have released the charge against the him now so it should be interesting to see what happens. I know the cop will go down if it goes to court but my mate doesnt need the stress.
cheers guys seems like this site has a brain not like the other site i posted on.
i have to admit my post sounds like im a prick :P but last night i was a bit annoyed with the fact that these people are supposed to be professional with there job. Yet they (all three as was 2 in car and one on radio) couldn't find teh correct rules...even i know these and i only looked at teh site once. Shouldnt teh police know some of these rules that have been in force since last year?
sure she may have had a bad night etc. i wasn't a prick to her nor did i want to be.. she asked how i was and i asked how she was...which i didn't get a reply..i wasn't speeding/driving dangerously...she was doing her job when she pulled me up..fair enough...i value my license too much to drive like a dick or act stupid
anyway im over it they can pull me up all they like....its there job i dont care about that.
