    Police are doing their job!!

    Up the road from our place is a vacant block on a major road that has been adopted as a car sales yard (anyone who knows where I live will know which block I am referring to). Well The ho har's was driving past today and there would have 15 to 20 vehicles there and 1 boat...... AND a police car (no it wasn't for sale) and a police officer with a digital camera taking photo's of some of the cars. Some cars did not have the compulsory roadworthy cert that has to be displayed when selling a vehicle. 1 car that has been there all week had his number plate taken I guess not registered.

    I'm sure Drivesafe feels better now .

    While I can see that they are doing their 'job' by booking illegal cars for sale, surely they have more important things to do.
    Around here, it's usually council rangers who do this.

    Just my thoughts as I feel as frustrated as Tim sometimes .

    We do not have council rangers we have police officers and while he was there I saw at least 2 police cars drive past.

    If the vacant block is private land the cops have no authority but if it is not then all bets are off - probably also being booked for illegally being parked - must be parked on a road, on private property or in a authorised car park - 20 years ago I was booked for illegal parking when I parked on the nature strip outside my house on a suburban street.

    Generally i think they do a good job,and try their best.

    They still cant sort out those bikes,one went past me doing at least 150k,on the Logan motorway today.

    The other week about 4 went past me doing the same sort of speed on the road to Cunungara.
    I think they are probably to fast for the police vehicles.Dont know if their bikes can catch them

    In QLD you have to have a clearly displayed safety certificate just to offer your vehicle for sale. Why? I have no idea but that's the LAW. So, whether on a private block or not it doesn't matter.

    The problem is that sometimes private sales can take months so you might have to get 2 or 3 of the things. Silly law.

    Maybe an unlicenced dealer. That does attract attention. Also to obtain a dealers licence, you have to have premises approved by the relevant local government for display and sale of vehicles. Registered vehicles in Qld offered for sale must have a copy of the Safety Certificate attached to the vehicle.

    The Boddington(50 or so ks away) Police were doing their job thursday nite only to end up with 2 20odd year olds dead.They detected an oncoming vehicle doing 83ks in a 60 zone,put the flashing lights on.By time they stopped and did a u turn they found the car wrapped around a tree just up the road.Both were dead.
    Not a nice way to finish your shift.
