Should he have used a Camry? Wouldn't have helped if the vehicle had no view to its rear and was dangerously overloaded, with only a strap holding the trailer to the car and the trailer had no number plates, indicators, brake lights nor tail lights visible and one of the tyres on the trailer had blown and was on the rim.

Commodores are **** but I think coming up behind a trailer with one tyre, you'd pretty quickly suss the status quo 😉

Well picked, Ian. Yep, all interesting, inciteful questions.

Was the guy unlucky? No, absolutely not. He was driving an exceptional motor vehicle. In my eyes, he was as lucky as.

Were the constabulary engaged in Commodore profiling? Absolutely. They could not have possibly seen the trailer under the plastic water tank, therefore, the trailer is irrelevant. It's nothing to see a plastic water tank bouncing down the road being towed by a cow cockey on a tractor, therefore, the tank is irrelevant. When they noticed a Commodore was where a tractor should have been, they stopped the driver.

Should he have used a Camry? Very interesting question and the answer is quite definitely yes for many reasons. The first reason that springs to mind is that the Camry is the beige of the motoring world. No one notices a Camry. Had he been driving a Camry, the police would have only seen a plastic water tank bouncing along the road. Because of recent weather events, they may have just thought it was windy out.
The second reason why he should have used a Camry is, with the plastic tank being heavier than a custard skin, the Camry would never have been able to tow the load, therefore, he would never have been on the road.

In conclusion, I have no idea why the police picked on this Commodore driver, other than he was driving the Commodore. After all, the load was connected with rated straps.

They pick on em over here because after the Motorplex burnout events there are Commodores everywhere doing burnouts, they dont pick on the Fords as they can only sit and watch and are unable to compete due to being underpowered. But last night I did see as well as 2 Commodores being impounded a Ford ute, the boys in blue had the right spirit and just wanted to make the Ford owner feel included.

Cause Commodores are sick according to 20 year old youths.

Nah, Mick, they're fully sick.

There is a saying over here that goes along these lines
I am sure that not everyone who drives a commodore is a dickhead but every dickhead drives a commodore.
Really it wouldn't matter what car was pulling that tank it would have stuck out like a sore thumb!!!!
Can't believe that anyone would do that!

I find it hard to believe that somebody that stupid could survive long enough to reach the pedals of a Commodore.
Did he not do a risk assessment, even if it was only "What's the odds of getting busted"?
