So I went on a charity cruise yesterday (Friday night) and the meetpoint was City West carpark which was a bad idea from the start especially with the recent van story
Heading off to the first meetpoint is fine, we pass a few cops on the side of the road before the graham farmer fwy tunnel waiting for people speeding (thanks to the guy infront of me who slowed down
) but an undercover cop somehow gets behind me when we turn off from Orrong road and shortly after pulls me up..
He says he ran my plates and it says I don't have a license, but I show him my license and it's all good, but then he gives me a yellow sticker for blue parkers, which is fair enough, I was only meant to have them in a short while but just forgot to take them out
but either way I think he was going to sticker me..
One of my mates on the cruise pulls over on a side street and comes over to see what's going on and apparantly these two know each other from previous run-ins and it turns out the guy who pulled me over is second in charge of the WA Police (or Traffic police? unconfirmed), so either was I was down a certain creek without a paddle
I did have original parker globes in the car and offered to change them which would "save the officer the time and hassle of doing the paperwork" haha... yeah that didn't work
So I get the sticker, start driving again then not too long afterwards they pull me over again and grab the cruise map out of my car
2 more stops later I bail from the cruise, way too much cop trouble.
decide to go for a drive with a friend through the hills, not too long afterwards we see a cop car (I was behind him) and they brake and then put their indicator on... I high beamed my mate and indicated to pull over waiting for the cop to come and they weren't far behind
I get out and let them know that I already have a yellow sticker from about 2 hours ago and he checks the license and stuff again, still says i dont have a license when they run my plates which means a big red flashy thing appears saying to pull me over, lovely!
this cop was awesome though, we spent like 10 minutes talking about car stuff
and then we went for a nice drive through the hills, the end
I'll have to do a few things before taking it over the pits on Tuesday (if I can get the morning off work)
- Change parkers
- Remove HID's
- Clean up some wiring
- Move license plate to original spot
- Replace high beam globes, one is broken anyway..
- Replace all interior lights just to be safe
- maybe take off my front lip? it is a bit loose... should be fine though!
A bit of a hassle but oh well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
