An Australian slang term for a vehicle compliance station owned by a
state authority. The term "pits" comes from
the pit you
drive your car over for the inspection to take place. You'll usually get sent here if a you act like a dickhead to the cop that has pulled you over and your car has obvious defects (i.e. too low, too loud, etc...)
Jimmy: "
hey did you hear
John was being a smart arse when he got done by the cops"
Barry: "ah fuck was he driving his S15"
Jimmy: "yeah they sent him
straight to the pits"
