Galliano Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 possibly.. BUT toyota charge over the odds so even with discount its gonna cost about £7 for a clip Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Galliano Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 go for it, maybe buying two/9000 will see us a bigger discount = not out of pocket Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletraje Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 when i get the flares i'll measure the diameter of them and let you's know so you can find an appropriate clip before they land at your door Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Sounds fair to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starletraje Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 someone on AOC posted this after asking a traffic copQ - "The flares you sometimes get with imported cars, whats the legal stance on these? Illegal or not?A - "These are pyrotechnic road markers for breakdowns or road accidents. As far as I can see, these are not illegal to possess and they are not strictly classed as 'fireworks' as their intended use is not for the purposes of entertainment.Obviously if you were to throw one whilst lit or use one in a reckless manner, then that would be different"so this is the legality, laid out and true.

Galliano Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 get them to write it down and then sign it along with their details etc.. then scan this so we can all have a copy to hand if we ever got pulled Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 get them to write it down and then sign it along with their details etc.. then scan this so we can all have a copy to hand if we ever got pulled ou will get done no matter what, because your car didnt come with one and is not an import Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedFreak Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 As above.I would expect, even if what the PC said was correct, this would be assosicated with GT Imports only. As they come with them as standard.If you drive any car that doesn't have them as standard, then I am sure it would be classed as illegal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletraje Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 i think your wrong, where in his answer does he refer to them being solely for an import, he states that they serve the purpose of alerting other road users, why the hell would it matter if the car it came out of is an import the principal is the same.

SpeedFreak Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Simply because a police officer can THINK anything is true, but actually giving you FACTS and proof of what he told you is another thing.I very much doubt he has a book that tells him the rule of flares from Imported cars! So therefore he is more than likely going by what he thinks.I may be wrong. Only proof that will prove this is a confirmation in writing.Also...why aren't they supplied in other cars from the UK???? Be good to get an actual answer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletraje Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 i think the fact a police officer posting it on a public forum is written enough? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedFreak Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Not for me its not I am afraid. But thats my opinion. I have seen an incident where a police officer quoted a friend that he was absolutly fine to drive around with his neons on on his car. That night he was fined by another officer, although he confirmed the police officer told him it was ok and gave them the officers name. They told him its no proof!

Starletraje Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 fair enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletraje Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 but on the other hand, unless an officer is searching your car, there really won't be a problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedFreak Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Oh yeah I agree with that point. They wouldn't ever know you had one unless they searched your car. Same as having alcohol opened in the car, unless they saw it they coudlnt do anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 wow this little thing is causing a right palava..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
