DavidAshton Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Did they do the test at the side of the road? Surly traffic passing by influenced it? Also who did the test? Did they do it at idle or get you to rev it? All sound suspicious to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blitz Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 took me down a quiet road got me to rev it to 2500-3000 rpm the officer did it the thing i was like about was when he said i could get points???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anup67 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 he gave you £30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WIN!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faisal_Sol Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I've been stopped a couple of times due to excessive noise from my exhaust, but each time the officers didn't have their decibel meters with them. Were you revving up unnecessarily? Its best to keep a low profile whilst driving around town, otherwise its like giving donuts to a copper! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blitz Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 he gave you £30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WIN!!!!!!what do you mean win? can you get pointsand no mate im not stupid i dont draw unneccesary attention was just driving normaly round town Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 luckily my exhaust is really really quiet till you come on boost then its got a right deep roar to it so if i ever see a copper i make sure i drive round on vaccume lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Galliano Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 so he goes im giving you £30 and if i catch you out and you havent put the silencer in you ll be getting 3 pointsThis is where I believe Anup was going with this one ^^Unfair mate. Picked on the small loud car as usual. Get the RST at the bottom of my road, he races past the house and wakes me up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave@TM-Developments.com Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 They cannot give you 3 points for your exhaust being to loud. If a copper said that to me i would just laugh in his face to be honest Yes they can Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 they can give you points for just about anythin. and if not then asbos are somewhere nearby. cops are annoying even though im trying to be one lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaylee Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 no they dont have anything better to do at all! its so annyoing cause youll see a older man drive a beamer like a nob and they wont bother with them, see a boy racer driving normally and they pull you! my boyfriend got pulled not so long ago, they searched his whole car and everything but couldnt find anything, they went on about his exhaust too. wasnt it in the news a while you cant even have your music loud so you can hear it outside the car? thats just silly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chanelle1234 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Im ok in my area as pretty much all the police know me as i work for essex police, so i kind of get off easily. In a way i take that for granted as everytime i finish work i take my car up to like 3000revs to piss them off when they piss me off haha, plus have my music loud too chanelle x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dstillie Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 i got done by this aswell, got pulled in off the motorway and had every fucker checking over my car, police,dvla,fraud squad, sepa list goes on they gave me a piece of paper with all the people i had to see, i had to go round them all and luckily enough all they got me on was the exhaust £30 fine, i dont agree with the test at all i mean who actually revs the tits out there car in 1st gear which is what they got me to do wasnt pleased about that, ftp td04 kit, cat bak exhaust ftw!

Blitz Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Yes they canthanks dave i have the blitz nur spec and de cat so i know its loud but i only boot it on the motoways i dont race round housing estates at 3 in the morning loljust shocked me when he said about the 3 points didnt no if he was stretching the truth, went into local police station to ask and they came back withthe office did you for a noise offence hence the £30 when i asked if i could get points they asked did the officer say you could to which i replyed yesthen she said well he s a traffic cop so he probably knows best i was like oh i see she goes but its not on our list as something you can get a fixed penalty forguys im gonna get a deffo answer for us all, tommorow i shall be talking to my lawyer get this question answered once and for all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave@TM-Developments.com Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 New laws mate, it can also fail an MOT if the tester deems it noisier than standard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mizlopi Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 i fucking hate them when they do that, afterwards you realise all these things they are ment to do and that like to do a fair test but you never think of all that when your there at the roadside, and hes put the thought of 3 points on your mind, sly fuckers, stay well away from them.

wee-jo Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Surely if your exhaust passes the mot db level for it being at an acceptable level then how are the police able to turn round and say its too loud?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave@TM-Developments.com Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Quite easily as they operate to different laws. A tyre can pass an MOT with an advisory yet the police can nick you for it. Daft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blitz Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 well i think its a warning for us all with systems hmm?i am still booked to see my solicitor tomorrow squeezed me in for a quick chat =)will get the definite answer is stupid though they can give you 3 points for a noisy exhaust but they cant give you points for not having an mot??? seems strangealso how do insurance companys stand on de cats do you know dave???
