I drive an old commodore that's resprayed the Holden canary yellow - or whatever its proper name is - and also has an aftermarket exhaust.
At a glance it looks/sounds like it might be something fancy, but other than what's mentioned above it's totally stock. Brakes, springs etc. etc. all good, nothing close to being defect.
Anyway, in the past I had an old corolla, and wouldn't see a cop for months at a time and never got pulled over. Since getting the brighter car I get stopped maybe once a week.
The thing that got to me today was I was pulled over twice in the same trip about 20 minutes apart. I told the second cop his mate had pulled me over 20 minutes ago and we'd just done all this, but he didn't want to hear it and I had to go through it all again.
Rant over
I once got pulled over by two police driving out at the Port of Brisbane - We had gone for a drive to see the US ships in port.
The road out there used to be a long dead straight that was used for drags when I was a kid, it is now (of course) still a straight road with about six roundabouts installed to slow people down.
Anyway, two police, about 500m from the end of the road (roundabout) stopped me for RBT, I complied and back on our way, turned around at the end of the road, and they stopped me again... I also explained that they had just done me not 5 minutes ago, wouldn't have a bar of it... I'n not sure if they work on a quota, but very weird...
