  2. Read the original post Nev,,
    I said that the windows were HEAVILY tinted and there is no way that you
    would be able to tell whether the person in the ute has a legitimate police
    uniform on or a bodgie one
    Could even be a pseudo cop, you know, those wanker types who get around with
    "SECURITY" plastered all over their car, but when he was on his way home in
    his private vehicle ..

    I suppose it would be too much to expect a police officer to know the
    road rules.

    Moike

    "Australian Road Rules

    218 Using headlights on high-beam

    (1) The driver of a vehicle must not use the vehicle’s
    headlights on high-beam, or allow the vehicle’s headlights to be used on
    high-beam, if the driver is driving:

    (a) less than 200 metres behind a vehicle travelling in
    the same direction as the driver, or

    (b) less than 200 metres from an oncoming vehicle.

    Offence provision.

    Note. High-beam and oncoming vehicle are defined in the
    dictionary.

    (2) However, if the driver is overtaking a vehicle, the driver
    may briefly switch the headlights from low-beam to high-beam immediately
    before the driver begins to overtake the vehicle."



    "224 Using horns and similar warning devices

    A driver must not use, or allow to be used, a horn, or similar
    warning device, fitted to or in the driver’s vehicle unless:

    (a) it is necessary to use the horn, or warning device, to
    warn other road users or animals of the approach or position of the
    vehicle, or

    (b) the horn, or warning device, is being used as part of an
    anti-theft device fitted to the vehicle.

    Offence provision."

    Unless you were intending to run into the back of her car....

    I've often wondered about that. Sometimes I have cars behind me flashing
    their lights, and I'm thinking is that a cop car? I'm not pulling over for
    some strange car! Bloody hell, look what happened to those poms in the NT.
    No bloody way. If it has cop lights and they're on, I will pull over. No way
    otherwise.

    amoebas wear make-up? I imagine they put their lipstick on at the traffic
    lights too, the bastards.

    racks.

    I thought they still did? Tehy used to borrow cars off various makers, euro
    ones were favoured, and put a few things on them, and prowl the Monaro. I
    notice those colourful hotted up things are back this year. They look like
    easter eggs.

    Do you have any Ignises?! Saw some at the Rally of Canberra, poor little
    buggers, someone should have been up for cruelty to small objects. You could
    catch dogs in those.

    Liar! They don't 80! Especially not when weighed down by sirens and lights
    and donuts and whatnot.

  9. Nope, because:
    a) cops are afraid of them
    b) cops score their drugs off them
    c) they don't pay their fines, thus making themselves cost-ineffective to
    pursue

    Good, but are they going to go after those mongrels who deafen everyone with
    their exhaust-modified harleys?

    That's the easter egg cars. They also have totally stealth cars on the
    Monaro. The easter eggs aren't stealth!

    Yawn. alt.limp.dick.retorts is over there -->

    I'm surprised you didn't use the standard "I know you are but what am I?".
    That would be more in keeping with your level of intelligence.

  15. And you're a powertripping, hostile troglodtye who hasn't even got enough
    higher brain function to hold himself back from replying to an obvious goad.

    Without your flashing lights and your woot-woot siren, you'd be nothing,
    less than even the spineless, weak little creatures in your cheer squad on
    here.

    Hey Dickwad, perhaps you can enlighten the NG. We had a bloke in the dock
    the other night with a tattoo on his left forearm. It said, 'Intact
    Kneeslider'. When I enquired about the meaning of this tattoo he told me it
    was only for survivors of a certain prison ritual. He said if you were
    vegemite drilled from one end of the hallway to the other and your knees
    remained totally functional after a few sessions of this, you were known as
    an 'intact kneeslider'. I'm not sure if he was having me on or not. Can you
    please indicate whether this is true or not?

    In common use, the term "flashing my headlights" usually indicates the
    operation of headlight flashers, which operate the high beam.

    If in fact, you turned your headlights on and off repeatedly while
    keeping them on low beam, that would be OK.

    But you didn't did you. Flashing is easier for an arrogant person like you.
    My point being that either you are ignorant (don't know things that
    ought be basic to your chosen profession) or you are a liar (said it was
    not illegal to use the horn in the manner indicated)

    Your response speaks volumes for your character.
