Bloody hell David and Chris what a story!
I have made the desision to stop driving old cars on the road, period. This
was after my latest infringement notice for $500 for driving an unregistered
vehicle. The real shitter is that it is regoed on a ch permit. My problem
was, I was not aware that I am required to carry the permit in the car at
all times (no body told me and it is not written on the permit). I was not
doing anything stupid at the time so was not asking to be pulled over. The
1600 is not driven often, so as far as I can tell I was only pulled over in
the first place for driving a shabby looking datsun 1600.
I had the same problem with cops years ago always getting pulled over once
every 2 weeks for breatherliser and rego checks etc. Just so the could pick
shit out of something and get some money out of me.
My solution was to buy a Nissan Micra. In 4 years of driving 90 thou Km I
have not been pulled over for anything.
As for the $500 I have asked for pitty from Civic Compliance and even though
they have already stuffed up my application twice hopefully they will let me
off.
Not happy about everyones situation with the cops.

I feel sorry for you Chris
good luck with the insurance
the cop seems pretty eager to catch the culprit (perhaps a little over eager
by the sounds of it...blaming you like that)
my old ZL fairlaine was stolen about a year ago now, I went through 6 months
of court and night after night of lockups in the watch house with them
trying to blame the whole thing on me. They finally got the evidence they
needed and dropped the case against me (without the slightest hint of an
appology for what they put me through I might add). But because of the case
the insurance company refused to pay, and I am still to this day fighting
them in court for the money.
