Does anyone else get trouble with the old bill ????

[scook]

I got pullled by the police yesterday. They had a good look over the car and couldnt fined anything wrong (its all taxed, mot'd insured). They then took offence to my sunstrip and said if i didnt take it of there and then they were going to give me a fixed penalty. After trying to get it off without sucess they decided to let me go but warned me if they saw me with it on again they would fine me.

Does anyone else get hassle like this ?? , i wasnt speeding or driving bad. you would think they would have better things to do.

[Easty]

i used to get lots of trouble in my old corsa.

not really been bothered since i got the VTS... which is strange really !

[l1ukeRS]

all the time mate, bet i get pulled at least once a month, by the same to pricks normally, have a look over the car, tyres lights etc then im off

[sillysammysnail]

nah not really, only when im an idiot, twice last month got pulled and its never happened before, put it down to rubbish month! anger problems! lol.

see loadsa people down my way get pulled over all the time, police down plymouth are pretty hot on it now. usually see the same people gettin pulled all the time, hear loadsa stories. once your car is 'blacklisted' as such they constantly pull it over :(

[potatopete]

I used to get pulled every month when I had an old Pug 205.
I haven't been pulled once since I got my VTR.

[Andy_S]

Ive been pulled a few times and breathalised, never had them looking at my car though.

[S34MER]

only been pulled once, but used the 'charm' to get off the hook lol!

[SNewham]

never been pulled. :P

[noxtioN]

At least once a week.

No joke.

[Leo]

all the time, got pulled alot. hate them, i dont even feel ignorant about steriotyping them either, pigs

[Mitchell]

funny story actually. the traffic cop that goes about here and pulls everybody has a big rival with ma big bro. always used to pull him and have his license taken, until he met him a few times on a night out (off duty)

i can seriously get off with anything, once he stopped me but just to give advice n shit, must of been bored, cos he knows my reg.

[SNewham]

At least once a week.

No joke.

surely that's harrassment?

[LittleDude101]

Ive been pulled over a fair amount of times in the past, but not recently.
What did the sunstrip say?

[Leo]

Worst happened to be aaprt from losing lisence, had to bump start my car... a copper sat and watched me bump it then done me for no seatbelt,

[noxtioN]

surely that's harrassment?

It because of my car lad, all the local police no me by my first name!

[saxovtrandy]

i got pulled about 6-8 times within a couple of months when i had my 106 but once i got my sax i didnt get pulled once!!!!

[scook]

it was a Saxo Sports Club one , i know its the wrong site , i have got sax-p ones one my rear windows though (so no abuse)

[Didz]

only been pulled once, but used the 'charm' to get off the hook lol!

[Didz]

[saxooxas]

i havent got pulled *touches wood* however today i overtook my mate and went through a speed camera, i did go quite a few mph over the limit but it wasnt a yellow one, it was one of those green ones that monitor traffic or something. Will i get in trouble?

[S34MER]

shut up bossin me around you!! :P

[Didz]

lol:P wel you are a silly little boy at times:fcuk:

[kenny]

i use to get stopped all the time by the police but they stopped when i reported them for harrasment as it use to be at lest twice a week.

[scook]

it is illegal as the wipers sweep over it (saxo wipers go all the way to the top of the windscreen),

[saxooxas]

so are saxperience stickers illegal?the wipers go over them

[sharpy24]

well if it is illegal then what do you expect?

I never get any hassle off the police, quite a few of my friends and family are coppers and my local ones are sound anyway.

For some reason telling them my job makes them nicer to me ;)

Even got a police escort once when we were flying down the motorway at 95mph to a major incident, flashed our badges they checked the incident was real with their control room and escorted us at high speed it was weird

[saxooxas]

whats your job? And why would you go to a major incident?

[sharpy24]

im a prison officer and im in tornado which is a national team which attends any disturbance, riot, major incident etc. basically all police and prison officers are trained in basic c&r (control and restraint) well im trained to advanced c&r level and hoping to take my national instructers course soon. im also a pcc instructor.

[seat-craig]

got pulled after first day of passing because they thought i was speeding i said prove it and they said we cant so i got in my car and drove of

[kenny]

its only illegal if its too low or you cant see thru it. my wipers touches my sunstrip but its never failed an mot for it.

[saxooxas]

ok, and wow dude sounds exciting

[Daniel_VTR]

My mate got an £80 fine last night for "Urinating in public" Under the section 5 public order act..


I thought it was funny :)

[R4T]

yup the whole time,used to get told exhaust is too loud car is to low,checked the car over and let me go,they have stopped my m8 3times this week in his saxo and are telling his air filter is illegal and they want it off,and his exhaust and he has to higher the suspension by at least 30mm(its only lowered 40) nothing better to do up here while some1 is getting stabbed or raped they are stopping people with modified cars!!anoys me!

[b0t13]

i got puled one hour after driving! been pulled coming back from a town centre and never been pulled since, ive been driving just under a year yet police never pull me thank god...

[Donna]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it illegal if something is obstructing the view by something like 5cm below the rear view mirror (including sunstrips)?

I failed an M.O.T once because of a magic tree hanging from my mirror and that's what they told me.

[Luke]

A magic tree?

That is surely taking the piss. An MOT is there to make sure the car is roadworthy, so how does an air freshener prevent that.

[Josh_Phipps]

Can the police do insurance checks there and then to catch people out on whether they have declared mods or not?

[Mystic]

Never been pulled in the S, have been pulled in a zafira a few times though lol. Twice cus they though i had stole it and once they just asked questions, 'where have u been', 'where are you going' etc

If got 2 fat dice and 2 air freshners hangining from my mirror and i passed my MOT on friday with them no probs!

[hellonpluto]

I've been arrested once.

[Luke]

Can the police do insurance checks there and then to catch people out on whether they have declared mods or not?

Yeah, think so mate. If they do a check on you, if your mods are declared it will show up 'Modified' but if you ain't declared them they can do you I reckon.

[Josh_Phipps]

Cheers, m8, i take it the smoked lights, zorst give it away that your modded

so when they do the check it doesnt actually bring up the mods you have done?

[Josh_Phipps]

It just says, modded car...

[Karl]

only been pulled once for; those rings in your lights are blue (when I owned my mk1 with angel eyes)

[willsy]

My car spends a fair bit of time in the Police Station. Never been pulled officially though.

As for lowering and air filter they cannot request that you alter height or get rid of it. Thats ridiculous

[Bubba]

got stopped for having blue neon lights as side lights and havin my fog lights on which was accidental as my dad drove the car and doesnt knock them off! was about to get smacked with a producer and brucey bonus's when he decided not too and said he would call round in the next week to check if i had taken them out which he still hasnt done!

[Evolution88]

I look quite young for my age and I got pulled at least 5 times in the space of 6 months

[kenny]

magic trees etc are an mot fail if the person doing the mot is having a bad day but usually they dont bother, the police are only limited to information on insurance and im not sure but i dont think it says modified or not modified on their system i think its only on the actual insurers system.

correct me if im wrong.

[saxophone]

ive been pulled 4 times in the space of 6 months, 3 times i got breathalised and i hadnt even been drinking. 4th time was for illegal U turn, my fault lol just got told off and shouted at then let me go. wont be doing that again.

[srcnix]

That pretty much sucks ass. However, if your ride is legal you should have nothing to worry about ;)

[Danr]

only been pulled once for; those rings in your lights are blue (when I owned my mk1 with angel eyes)

Cheers mate :P

In all honesty the police are ok around here. They don't pull you over for no reason, they will always have a reason too.

I've been pulled over 3 times, once the first day of driving as the car was in the process of having the registered owner changed so the guy thought i had stole the car. I explained and showed all my documents and he was fine, apologised and just told me to keep safe and that. Second time for going around a roundabout the wrong way (my bad) but he let me off as it was late, in a car park and i hadn't done anything bad. Was actually a nice guy as i could have lost my licence for that :)

Third time was a bit of a wierd one but i can see where he was coming from, i had me and 3 mates in my old mk3 fiesta, we went around a corner and a policeman followed me till i parked up and just said that he thought i was speeding due to the suspension being really low around the corner. I had a light out aswell but he just asked me to get it sorted as it was a sunday and no where was open. I haven't been pulled for ages now.

[m20pub]

i would just take it off mate if your cars 100% then they have nothing on you

[S9_DAN]

Its not to bad round here, the saxo was the worse car for getting pulled in to be honest, Since i had the Subaru though i have been pulled about 3 times, all when i first got the car, but touch wood i have not been pulled for ages. Unless you do something stupid or you are in the wrong, unless they are really bored !

[srcnix]

I've never been pulled over but LOL @ Dan, how did you manage to go round a roundabout the wrong way?

[Danr]

I've never been pulled over but LOL @ Dan, how did you manage to go round a roundabout the wrong way?

showing off to some fanny in another car in tesco's in aldershot. Didn't check mirror and police were behind me :fcuk:

[Chris]

Got pulled twice in the VTR... once for having my fog lights on, which to be fair I had been driving through fog 10 mins beforehand... the other time was when I was on my way to my girlf's house, drove past an un-marked police car doing 40 in a 30, but got away with both and both times the coppers were complimenting me on my car.

Never got pulled in the FTO and haven't been pulled inthe Astra Coupe Turbo yet (touch wood)

Chris :)

[Donna]

I got pulled for the first time today. It was a police officer on foot, he waved me down for speeding, saying I was doing "approximately 45mph". But, I saw him ages in advance and checked my speedo and was doing just under 40mph. I don't know how they can try to predict your speed from so far away. But, I just got a slap on the wrist so no harm done.

[Corsa_john]

I got pulled over for mistaken identity - 2 cars and 1 meat wagon - i was shitting it lol!

[clipz]

yeh i got pulled, cops say that another cop car seen me do 120 along a dual carriageway, got pulled half an hour later, 2 females, i asked them how my 1.2 could do 120 in that short carriageway ,it must have been sum1 else as it was cruise night, they took my point on board and told me to watch myself in future, i laughed all the way home in my 1.6, woman must think all saxos are shopping trolleys!! great fun!

[AdamW]

Smack a copper........get an 80quid fine and a court hearing for affray....fuck all happens......

You only live once

You should of just drove straight past him. If he had try to take it any further he wouldn't have any case against you. Its impossible to guess what speed someone is going lol :)

[Corsa_john]

Nah she should waved back hahahaha

[Goldendevil]

2 time's i ever get pulled was when the red lacer(spelt wrong i know:evil: ) burnt off my rear driving bulbs so i get " it's illegal to show any white light from the rear of your vehicle people might think your going to reverse into them" so i say " when i'm doing 30 going forward officer " he obviosly didn't like that because he gave me a M.O.T rectification slip but i got that sorted

then for my tints got pulled by the local unmarked said i SHOULD remove them but DIDN'T HAVE TO but warned that if i hit someone and they thought it was because of tint's then i would be lookin at death by dangerous drivin still got em though:P

[VTS_16v_Boy]

I been pulled over afew time sometimes my fault sometimes not :-)

But I think as you get older you don't get pulled unless your sportin some Bolt-on-bandit bits or drivin like a wolly, but the Golden rule is relax, be polite tell what they want to know be friendly and everyone is happy :-)

Dont ever try and be a smart arse or cocky because your be the one who will be sorry

[Donna]

Nah she should waved back hahahaha

hahaha, I should of done that!! lol

[Baz]

my dad got pulled the other week in the Furio which was pretty amusing IMO :P

[Donna]

I know you shouldn't be cocky but sometimes the police are so rude to you it makes you really tempted to say something.

When I got pulled over that time, I said "sorry" and he just got the arse, saying he "didn't want my silly little apology". I don't know what else I could have said. I was already apologising for something I didn't do.

He kept me standing there for ages too, lecturing me about putting my bag on the passenger seat - people may swing open the door at lights and steal it. Fair point... but my car locks when the ignition's on anyway!

[Tupps]

just say you wish to make a statement - as a copper they HAVE to gith down everything you say.....

"in the beggining........." - you could talk an utter load of shite for hours and he would have to write everything word for word! he'll get a sore wrist before you get bored tbh

i doubt he'll be writing the report :) instant let off
