In the NT I never got pulled over once.

Since coming to Toowoomba its been a different story. I've even had the line "we're watching you"! Now anyone that knows me - knows that I drive like a Nanna. My ute is in fairly good condition - its certainly not a rust bucket.

I copped a few warnings before I was actually fined. Then they pulled me over and spent 20 minutes taking photos and going over the whole ute with a fine tooth comb. Fined me for driving a defective vehicle because of the lights on the rollbar (fair enough - I always knew having 3 was a problem), having a right hand aerial, having red lens covers on the bull lights (I could apparently impersonate an emergency vehicle), and my number plate not running parallel with the axles. They also gave me a warning about my tyres.

So off came the lights - everything else stayed. Got new tyres put on. Since that time I've been pulled over twice.

The most amusing was being pulled over on my way to work the other day by an unmarked car. He said that he just wanted to know if it was true. I asked him what he meant -he said "Is Barbie really a sl*t?". He said he had to check because if it was true he needed to go home and confiscate about 20 barbie dolls from his daughter. He and his partner had apparently been following me for about 5 minutes pissing themselves laughing at my ute.

It was refreshing to be pulled over by a copper with a sense of humour, and who wasn't on a power trip.
