Default Just got pulled!

apparently "For your windows and your exhaust".

They *did* have a really shiny T5 though......

I think its ridiculous that they waste 5 minutes of my time checking over my car, making sure its not stolen etc. etc. etc.

Who do they think they are????

Didn't you just give them a funny handshake, and they say they'll see you at the lodge???

Do you ask them "do you know who I am?", "I know people, you know" and "shouldn't you be out catching rapists and muggers" etc...

I'm surprised you didn't give them loads of back chat.

Make them look stupid and really send them off with their tails between their legs.

no.... just letting off a rant!

tbh.... I'd much rather them be pulling the untaxed, untested cars out there than me because my exhaust is a bit too big or loud!

Agree with u on the untaxed/tested cars...wouldnt it be great if they had the ability/resources to take it immediately to a test station, get it tested and demand tax payment or the car gets scrapped immediately.

Must've been terrible spending five minutes with the old bill checking your car wasn't nicked.


I bet if someone HAD nicked your car, you'd be grateful of the extra attention from the police though,eh..?


Nige,

Now THAT is an exhaust!! :-)

TBH I'm not surprised they pulled you just to settle a bet as to whether one of them could fit their head in there!! :-)

If they were polite, there's no reason to get annoyed. If the Impreza gets as much of a reputation for attracting the attention of the police as they do the scum and chavs then perhaps, these undesirables will turn their attention to another kind of car!

Regards,

NS04

I expect British Gas had reported a theft of one of their main gas pipes and when they (Police) saw the size of your exhaust pipe, they thought they'd better give you a "tug" to see what it was made from

So, BuRR, your exhaust is within noise limits and your tints are legal, yes? Just wondering...
