I had only just brought my 'new' car (13B powered 323 station wagon) and was realy givin it :poo: down a few of the roads out egmont way this cop was parked in a layby and as i came flying past he speed out after me so being the good person I am I pulled of realy scared at this point, he came right up to the door and told me to get out! He started telling me about how much of a dick head I am and then finaly arrested me
I got off light with 6 1/2 months dsq and then ended up selling the car

Good thing is though I pickin up my new GTB tomorrow mornin

You got arrested for speeding?? I've never heard of that before! My mate got his lisence taken away for a month after he was snapped going 130kph, but thats nothing

Oh, and respect on getting the 323 to 175! Mine barley gets to 155 (Mind you, its only has a :poo: 1.5 straight-4 engine)

I believe it is used to test whether or not you can actually reverse and turn at the same time... like you would if you were backing out of a carpark or driveway etc. Apart from driving lessons, I do not think I have ever backed around a corner!?!?

Do they get you to reverse around a regular street corner? That sounds pretty stupid.

Reversing out of a driveway, yeah that's understandable I do that every time I drive anywhere. But going around a street corner seems almost dangerous

Also lol @ Q300, bet you learned your lesson after that

Usually it's just from the kerbside into a driveway or something. Another one they can get you to do is to reverse 20-30m along the kerb in a straight line; a skill I have yet to try out in the 'real world'...
