Yes it is luck with the coppers..... but also their perception of how you handle the situation and your circumstance.... how old are you FRA?
I went through an RBT, as I was dropping the dog off to the vet one Thursday night. Got breath tested, and as I was being tested, another officer on the passenger side of the car called the attention of the cop talking to me, and pointed at my rego sticker. I had paid the rego, but had the sticker sitting on my desk at home. Stupid, I know. The sticker was 2 months out. I got questioned, and explained the situation with great empathy, assuring the rego had been paid. They checked it on the computer, and whilst doing it, checked me and the car from the outside.
No drama's, he just said when you finish dropping the dog off, go straight home and out the sticker on. Next time you will get fined.
So was I lucky? Hell yes, but sometimes it is more than luck.
