Undercover cop cars?

[snip]

Only if it's not behind the driver, right? ;-)

The problem, as I understand it, is that if the pipes have the
appropriate plate attached that says they are OK, there is SFA you can
do...

How many bullets does it take to stop a dock worker?

The correct procedure is to drive to the nearest police station. Same thing
when armoured trucks are involved in prangs. They drive to the nearest police
station first, THEN ask why the little old lady ran into them.

 

If it's obviously a defective muffler that still has a plate attached then
there's a reasonable suspicion that the muffler has been illegally tampered
with and therefore a defect would probably still be issued. I'm sure there
will be plenty of Harley's with shotgun exhaust systems with the correct
looking plates affixed ??

 

Shame you didn't use the "yoghurt pot" description. Would have been a tidy
segue to them being full of bacteria.

As long as they don't bother with Majura Road, I should be fine =)

How long have you lived in Canberra? In other words, do you pronounce
"monaro" as mon-ar-oh (correct), or mon-air-oh (annoying)?

 

I pronounce it the old Canberra way! I still call the canberra centre Monaro
Mall, too. (and yeah, we say Mon AIR o).

err, isn't that Mon-aaar-o

Actually the car is "mon ar o", the area/highway is
"mon air o" and if you don't believe me, check Hansard.

Sure - AFAIK, you can issue a defect notice even if there is no
defect...

Sure - but I suspect that when they go to the A(U)VIS, the person
checks that the thing has the appropriate plate attached, if so, it's
OK. A PITA for the rider, IOW, but not a solution.

The English language sucks. There's just no rules. Like my pet hate "I
before E, except after C." Oh really? Well how do you spell "seized",
"neighbour", "weight", "height", "freight" etc etc etc. When there are
so many "exceptions to the rule", it's hardly much of a rule.

<wipes foam from mouth> What's Hansard, BTW?

 

So you must pronounce "Manuka" as Mar-ne-car then? =)

 

I've always wondered at our pronunciation of Monaro (air-o). There must be a
reason for it. It's Italian, isn't it?

You say it the way it is spelt. Or a nick name for it Munro.

 

Of course. I believe that's the Australian pronounciation actually. The
kiwis say Man OO ka.

I thought they said "Mer-NER-Ker"

Moike

 

Those words must be Irish - like O'Reilly.

Hansard is the 'Parliamentary Record'
Everything said is printed - except the most interesting stuff, the
interjections and farts.

BTW, the availability of Hansard is often used as back-up to the hoary old
gag that ignorance of the law is no excuse.
That's because it's theoretically impossible for a new law to be passed or
an old one changed, without it appearing somewhere in Hansard or similar.

The internet has made things interesting. If you are fortunate enough to
own a computer, you can see the reasonably current acts and regulations in
a trice.
Go have a play in <www.austlii.edu.au>.
BTW, if you had any doubt that Judges were turds more concerned with their
own professional arses that the 'customers' of the courts, there's a wealth
in evidence in the case law available there
Or <http://scaleplus.law.gov.au> - pretty bland, but a tad easier to use.

Might be. Just thinking though, Americans pronounce Camaro as Cam-air-o...

 

What would they know? - they pronounce shit like sheirt, and haven't yet
figured they're arseholes, either.
