especially when you got no wof or reg... 8O i avoid passing cops all together even in a completely legal car, unless they're way under the speed limit :roll:

i hate cops that cruise along the m/way at 80ks or whatever

all the cars backed up behind them! you're like... wtf is all this traffic - then - oh, a cop. i always pass those ones.

my car looks terrible at the moment (front too low, bonnet painted matt black, really really bad job etc etc) but i've never been pulled over in it. not sure how to qualify as a boy racer but my car from the outside looks like a dozen tickets waiting to be written out.

oh is that the law is it? or would you be just another fukwit cop who makes shit up. :roll:

depends on the volume of the liquid, the contianers it's and whether or not a DG was needed. chances are there is a case to answer.

its cheaper to get the fine than run :) esp if your car launches from the intersection and the engine mounts smash off the gearbox at the same time... leaves a nasty mark on the bonnet to....

I suspect that might be one of those urban myths, but by all means feel free to go out and try it.


My stepdad and mum work for the police, its not an urban myth.


I've heard that almost anything on your breath will do it - cigarettes, mouthwash, toothpaste ... unsure if it is true tho.
