Yeh you are not allowed to have any guages outside the car, as it apparently distracts pedestrians haha

Cops will defect you on anything if they want.

The defected my dads boat trailer cos they reckoned the brake lights were out. He showed them it working and they still reckoned it didn't work before. My dad went to the cop station the next day to pay the fine and the local cops laughed and told him those other cops must have been on drugs or something and they lifted the defect.

ITs about time you guys started givin some shit back to em. Next time, try this.

As they are looking over your car, theres nothing stopping you doing it to theirs. Have a look under the floor pans, for oil leaks, crack in lamp lenses, dirty windscreens, obscured number plates, holes in the muffler, tyres not pumped up properly, tread, and start asking em why their car aint maintained. Even if you find nothing, it'll still give em the shits.

he he teach those turds a lesson , I say.

those instruments on the bonnet get defected because they are a danger to peds not a distraction, ur not allowed /supposed to have anythin more than a certain height and angle sticking out of ur bonnet so as not to cause even more damge to a ped if u hit them....thats y

Do the humanitarian thing...tape some pillows to your car, then run them stupid pedestrians over. That way, they cant say you arent a nice guy!
