Got pulled over today.
hahah blue for you i got pulled on the a45 just after the mcdonalds roundabout by the same octavia he said he had seen me me using inappropriate acceleration off the roundabout.
this was complete b******* as i was driving normally.
then they checked my car all over tyres tax etc and couldnt find anything wrong and let me go by saying keep that driving to the track to which i replied tracks dont have roundabouts officer!
now if i was driving like a t*** i wouldnt mind but to be pulled for what i suspect was because i was driving a scooby is stupid.
i dont drive like an idiot on the roads as im 36 and have done all that, my car is 100% legal has new tyres and i dont even have a loud exhaust, i have a miltek which is quiet.
maybe hes just upset because he has to drive a skoda!

I have a Milltek system too so it wasn't a noise thing, and they even said it wasn't for excess speed.
What a pair of t@@ssers.
it was only a few weeks back.
as i said before if i had a loud exhaust small number plate or was driving like an idiot then hands up its a fair cop.
but i was driving well within the speed limit and no loud exhaust silly tints/plates.
i got the feeling they pulled me then spent a while checking the car and looking for faults of which they couldnt find so lectured me about something i wasnt doing.
and yes it was the bit of road between tesco and mcdonalds towards billing.
ive seen the octavia on the a14 and around kettering lately but they dont bother me in my old astra...

before it was just down to the tester's descretion(sp) if it was to loud 
There is no law for older cars regarding noise, its MOT testers decision. Bikes have a noise limit.

When I was last pulled over it was for accelerating to fast from traffic lights
I did not exceed the speed limit for the road
The officer who stopped me said he had pulled me for "spirited driving"
When I asked if this was an endorsable offence he replied
"No sir, on your way"
I think he was looking for drink drivers

b. assess subjectively the effectiveness of the silencer in reducing exhaust noise to a level considered to be average for the vehicle

Here we go from the mouth of an mot tester
it says is the exhaust louder than a genuine exhaust in good condition if it is its a fail and i think the police can confiscate not on an mot but on the road, mot is is it noisier
hope this helps a bit!!!

How would an MOT tester or the police know if my exhaust is louder than a standard one ??
Yes yes is obvious but prove it. Subaru don't issue any DB levels for there cars so even testing my exhaust would not prove a thing.
It's complete and utter bollocks !
There must be millions of cars on our roads with non standard exhaust and the police can do nothing about it other than use scare tactics like they did with me.

If you ever look at Essex old bills scoobys or evos I take it then that prodrive or ralliart exhausts are classed as standard. Pal of mine did his college training with the met old bill and loves his old escorts funny as hell when he gets tugged wipes the floor with them.
"can I clear something officer?"
"what's that?"
"if I was to call you a cu£t you would nick me"
"correct"
" you can't arrest me for thinking, therefore I think your a cu£t!!! Good day officer"

The standard tinted glass on their Volvo looked no lighter than the tint on my car. They point blank refused when I asked them to use their gauge on their own car.
Oh dear Matt, you silly sod! Not having your seat belt on 
lol. Your windows can't be that dark if they saw you wasn't wearing it 
A couple of years ago a previouse scoob of mine failed an mot and one thing was the exhasut and its emissions. When I confronted the tester and asked about the exhaust itself, he told me that becasue it wasn't standard and was noiseyer they can fail it. I called vosa and they told me that there wasn't a limit on db (I thought that was bollox) and it was up to the discression of the testing station. So "The Garage" in March, Cambs don't get any more of our business for being jobsworths
Was this nabbing in March? What was the young officers name if it was?

Yea was in March buddy. Just on my way to Zen so cost me £60 before I even saw Paul, lol.
Didn't take the officers name, just kept my mouth shut and smiled after he mentioned prohibition..
