has anybody ever be stoped for spot check on emissions, i've read that police/department of transport do this but never met anyone that has been stoped

 

i dont know anybody either
i know a few people who have had there tanks dipped to check for red diesel tho

 

not been stopped myself, but i remember it being done in Wycombe a few years ago. Also saw it on the oxford ring road once nr BMW.

 

Never been stopped myself but about 4 or 5 cars in front of me were one day. This was on a large roundabout approaching the M27 around Portsmouth in the south.

 

They do spot checks on the same road near me every few months..
Never been stopped.. just by luck..

Be interested to see my emissions.. lol..

Oh dear so I have a sensor or a cat problem.. I best get it fixed

does what happens if you fail is fine, points or rectification order ALL THREE

 

Rectification order I believe..

Fix within so many days with a stamp from an MOT place to prove it is fixed..

A standard car could well fail and it is not really fair to fine and point someone when they have no idea.. I suspect if you stopped and were abusive and it was obvious you deliberately have removed cats and don't give a flying **** they could fine you..

All round the Sutton Carshalton area in the summer, got pulled over in the wife's Yaris, fortunately not the decatted scoob!

They were very pleasant though, told me if i failed in my 'other car' they would issue me with aomething requiring proof of emmissions pass within 7 days,

If anone has a sports catted pipe for sale .....
