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????

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...

PS did you get a ticket

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,

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...
