Since I've owned the skyline I've averaged being pulled over for a 'random' breath test once every 2 days.. I mean, it's no trouble because I never drink drive, but it's just getting a bit beyond the joke.


anyone else have this problem? or am i just unlucky..

If you are really getting pulled over that frequently id be documenting it and contacting the police ombudsman

Yup and licence check.
And I honestly dont think it'd be a black mark next to this particular car as it was off the road for about a year and a half before i bought it..

Maybe a charcoal skyline was reported stolen?

An RBT helps fill their 'quota', better that than copping a canary.

RBT helps bust drunk pingpingpingpings or those driving unlicensed

Unlikely. Charcoal 33's are bulk rare! Seriously, flick over the plates, state plates ftw.

True, but what I'm saying is that its not a bad thing that he only gets RBT'd.

I've been RBT'd coming home from work just after midnight acouple of times, and been glad that this meant that they didn't need to start looking at things possibly wrong with my car just to fill there quota... obvious shitter cars will probably get the once over regardless.

I've never been pulled over for just an RBT & license check. They have always checked the car.

1 let me go no dramas, 1 let me go because he had to cos (where I was pulled over they were holding up traffic), 1 gave me a yellow sticker but then again I don't think an RBT & license check was the objective there because he'd already asked for the bonnet to be opened before either of those 2.

All other RBT's (maybe 3/4) have been at booze bus setups, I don't drink & drive so it hasn't been a drama & I've only had one vehicle check out of them, that was the same night at Hillaries when it was locked down.

Agreed!

As long as you're not getting yellows and there not harassing you don't worry about it.

you can probably thank me for that one

short version of the story goes along the lines of me complaining to an officer ssuperior for stickering my old tx3 for bullshit reasons, and then it got interesting..

The only thing my car attracts is unemployed rock smokers that jump out at the traffic lights with window squeegee's. These pingpingpingpings are everywhere nowdays.
