Never truly understood the laws about modifying cars in Victoria. I'm not a cop hater, but what i've seen happen especially at track days/events, I would say I can see why people may dislike cops. Saw plenty of them defect cars leaving such events, even as far as to fine someone loading their car onto a trailer. Cops doon't use their discretion, rather than saying "oh I see you're trying to do the right thing and transport your car via a trailer rather than driving an unroadworthy car. I'll just give you a warning and let you know to please refrain from loading/unloading cars on a public street", they just fine people without question. Cops really have been killing their trust with the car community.

the wheels sticking out being illegal is because if another car sideswipes you they will get launched and flip over because of contact with the tyres and if a pedestrian gets hit by the wheel they could get sucked inside the wheel well and get mulched, its pretty rare but it does happen the exhaust sticking out being illegal is there just to piss people off though

But that was at a high profile car meet at a checkpoint.

I don't understand how having big, wider tyres can be illegal? but then the side mirrors are protruding more than anything. People accidentally bump into side mirrors all the time or some people side swipe things as they can't judge their vehicles properly when driving through tight spaces etc. Resulting in damage to their own vehicle or damage to other property. Rex is right with the cannon muffler and comparing it to a tow bar. People whack their shins on them more than anything, the muffler on Rex's chaser is not that far out, exhaust shops would properly mount it this far anyway so that way black soot isn't dirtying the bumper. Some laws in Australia can be debatable when it comes to getting defected. Some cops can be naïve with certain mods, some cops are good some are just plain strict as f*** cause " IT IZZ WHAO DIDEEEZZ''

Cops will target people driving nice/clean cars with any sort of aftermarket wheels (even stickers) then go break their back bending over backwards to pull them over and go top to bottom trying to find something to defect and then turn around and ask “why doesn’t anyone trust us? We’re just here to serve and protect?”. Like yes I would 1000% call them if I was in danger but I have absolutely 0 trust and feel totally unsafe, as a P plate driver, seeing any highway patrol cars while driving around. I have so many mates who’ve been pulled over/targeted just being P platers. Fuck I’ve had a mate who got a mouth full cause their red P plate was upside down, the fucker used “I could look at that and think it was a b” as an excuse like what the fuck?
