i live in nsw and i have just paid $300 for my engineering cert but im fully thinkin that its useless
my mates have one and the coppers just say
"get that outa my face " or
"i dont want to see that rubbish" and so on

whats the deal?? does anyone else have one or know what the deal is with them like do they hold up as a legal document to say that your car is safe and legal or what ?????

any answers ?

The cops have to know that the car has the paper but if you are nice about showing them then they should be ok about it all... But if you give them lip when you show the paper then they will book you for something else any thing they can find.

When dealing with police (i am one who knows this because of 1 Red and 6 yellow stickers) that if you are curtius to them they can be ok (this is if they got some the night before ) if they are in bad mood (wife left them or something) they will get you for something either way

Hope this helps you out... and if they do sticker you for something make sure the pits see the cirt during inspection (in WA pit people some times disagree with cops and they will just take the sticker off your car no worries)...

Good luck :D

in the ACT you don't even get a copy of your engineering cert, the pits get to keep it.

Your cert should be legal and hold up in court.

Check with a lawer or the cert issuer about the legalities of it.

Yeah I've never needed to pop my bonnet either. Maybe because it looks like such a piece of crap no one would suspect it was fast lol, or they just don't care what mods you got here.

Although I haven't been pulled over in ages, the cops seem to go after all the sacked out bogan and ricer cars these days. They only ever pulled me over when they saw my face cos I look way too young to have a full licence.
