So, I'm driving along (du da de da do) with my roommates and another friend. We stop at a stop sign with a police car on my right about to turn left. I pull through the intersection (I have the right of way) and am promptly pulled over with flashing lights. The police officer, who is very rude by the way, asserts that I was not wearing my seatbelt ( I WAS) and tries to convince me that I should just take the ticket. I, of course, refuse profusely. He then proceeds to return to his vehicle and run the plates on the vehicle I am driving. The car isn't mine, it's owned by one of my roommate who was also in the vehicle with me. It turns out through a series of mistakes (NONE of which are mine) that the vehicle was accidently left unregistered for approxiamately a week. The police officer smiles and proceeds to seize the car, issue ME a 580 dollar ticket, and leave us stranded on the side of the road several miles away from anywhere we could reasonably take shelter from THE INSANE THUNDERSTORM. Oh, I will fight that ticket and if need be, I'll bring the whole gorram system crashing down on this guy's head.

The fine should be in your friends name as it's not your car.
I got a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt in the city with my semi.
I told the cop I know you're just doing your job but I don't think I'll get whiplash getting rear ended by a neon. Infact officer there isn't even a seat belt warning light in my semi truck guess they forgot to put one in 220 dollars

it'll be like here,you are the one in charge of the vehicle (driving) it's your job to make sure it's registered/roadworthy before you turn the key......

how desperate they are for money here now,banned from talking on mobiles,but peeps have been find for pressing a button on the phone to answer,even though call is hands free.........
and a lady got a fine,she was parked on side of road with car switched off,cops pull up,but because keys were still in ignition,she was deemed still in charge of the car,so got ticket for talking on mobile ($300 & 3 points off licence)

the #@%$wit new south wales highway patrol used to play games like that....know of number of truckies who got booked for over log book hours,even though they were in bunk asleep (some were woken with these cockheads banging on the door) but to have radio or phone on,they needed keys in ignition,deemed as being in charge.........

It wasn't registered but the owner of the vehicle thought that her father had registered it and thus, i also believed that it was registered.

I think Cars should be subject to the same safety standards and regulations us truckers have to follow... Lets see the citizenry bitch about how their rights and freedoms are being violated... even though owning and driving a vehicle is not a right.

This is precisely why I refuse to drive any ones car. One minute your driving along and the next your being pulled over by the cops only to find out the insurance is expired on your buddies car, leaving you with a nice fat ticket in the process.
