Got to the corner of broun and collier then turn into crimea st (where crimea street starts) and take it really fast as usual because it's just a fun corner. This commodore starts tailing me really close so I thought he wanted to go, so I speed up a little to about 75km/h (I'm in a corrolla, can't go much faster

) then all of a sudden I see the police lights come on and pullover.
Cop reckons I was going about 85 (*cough* bullshit *cough*), but didn't give me a ticket only a warning. I can only put it down to my excuse of "I just wanted to get home after working this late," and me wearing a tie.

Moral of the story: Don't speed past a commodore or speed up if a commodore is tailing you unless you are sure it's not a cop. I learnt my lesson

Oh yeah, overtook a cop and was done for 120 in a 60 zone, just wasn't paying attention. Undercover cop had no radar, did me for 87 as check speed. Took them to court and had it reduced to 73 in a 60 zone.

Gotta watch for those pursuit rims

yeah was on the freeway. Commy was doin speed limit and i was in a rush. Went into the middle lane and planted it. Notice pursuit rims n quickly backed off. Then car to my left flys past and the lights go on. Always look out for those rims.
Also from wat ive heard. Theres some guy who modifies rx3s and sells em off for next to nothing. Most of em go out 10s cars. Mr rx3 or something like that

I saw a cop car 20 minutes ago, completely unmarked SS dunnydoor red, with normal rims with 2 dudes wearing normal clothes, however the 50 antennas and speed measuring gear on the dash gave it away, but then when the magnetic blue light went on the roof that really gave it away

Couldnt believe how normal this car looked though, I would have been farked if it wasnt for my trusty Bel.

Yeah I noticed that about a month ago. Was on the fwy and saw this black Patrol with two massive cops approaching a vechile they just pulled over. Then the other night on the freeway I saw blue & red lights flashing on the freeway and the car seemed to be driving through the road works. Maybe they've put them on the road coz they can hide them behind road work barriers ? :-/

ive seen a blue and black patrol, both undercover vehicles, spotted them from the blue and red flashers mounted in the back window, can see them if you get close enough. Spotted them both on graham farmer too.
