This will probably piss most of you off, but for some reason cops like me, and usually let me off. I've been let off way more infringements than I've been booked, even when I've obviously been doing the wrong thing.
Even when I got pulled over when I was doing 215 KPH (by my speedo) in a 60 zone on my learners permit (with no "L Plate" displayed) the cop who'd chased me for almost 10 Km (I didn't know he was there, I shouldn't have pulled the baffle out of my RC 4 into 1 pipe, OOPS!) eventually reduced it to 130 in a 100 zone and I only got an 80 dollar fine.
I don't know what it is, I'm just pleasant to them, and treat them with respect (I wouldn't want to do their job in a million years) and they pretty much leave me alone. Even when I broke down last week on the 'Wang, the cop helped me push it out of harms way and offered to call the RACV for me? I can't be pissed off about that! Cheers, Terry.
