pain2bare

Sounds like you had a dick, unfortunately there are tons of them in uniforms. I agree that some of the issues mentioned could have been warnings and not tickets. As for the targeting of imports and customs, thats total bs because you know you won't see any of those old ford and studdabaker guys getting pulled over.

spike

That sucks mike. I am always asking a cop, who's a friend of mine, what I can do , and what i can't do,lol. But I do it any way,because he is the type of cop that will bust you for being a dick to him, not for having stuff done to your car. He could of pulled my Si civic because he new i had nos in the trunk, and he saw the bottle in the back, so thats a ticket right there, but he's nice like that. Fight the tickets mike.

Jay P

a lot of complaining about cops on other boards too...

looks like this season won't be fun for some.

Oldspower

no deal peel. that sucks, but what i dont like even more is when guys have muscle cars, even nicely restored, very occasional cars, i mean vintage not new ls1/lt1 powered cars or foxbodies or whatever, but high dollar vintage muscle, and they will go through with a fine tooth comb, no egr on aftermarket intake manifold -ticket, no cats -ticket, no back seatbelts -ticket (car didnt come with them for instance), all this dumb ****.
In regards to your problem, make sure you point out how he said he was making an example of you, and you can put a twist on saying how you're a part of Toronto Civics and the focus of the club is to change that mentality of "all kids with Hondas are street racing" or something of that nature.

imported_Flyte

unfortunately i dont believe tcc would like me to directly involve them. as i pointed out before i will deal with this on my own!

Whiplash

but with your back covered if need be!!

imported_Fr0z3N

improper muffler... hmmm I have 3 of those

unnecessary noise... only 1 of those

reckless driving... yup

illegal tints.... yep

improper headlights (more then 6)... yep

If a cop ever gets behind me, I know I'm gunna get pulled over and get a ticket, hell today was a fun day, I got pulled over for:

tinted windows
tinted taillights
tinted license plate cover
improper muffler

and aparantly my vw golf looks like a race car, LMAO winter beater FTW.

Aw ****ty deal Mike! I hope everything works out!

imported_civic_66

wow man. you get any points? isnt careless driving like 4 or 6 or something? I guess it all depends on the cop. I just got my car on the road and I have a 10 day on it. my brake lights were all screwed and when I braked my reverse lights came on lol. I had a cop pull in behind me followed me for abit and then turned the opposite way...

just a random question. if your car is stripped is there any ticket for that or are you just more suspicious?

Roll_outz

Sorry to hear dat bro.. N way They did the sme thing to me B4 I got improper muffler X2,improper plate X2, following too close,in one night. different cop. but I didnt give up I went to court suprise those tickets has been withdrawn. SO CAREFULL GUYS....

imported_xplizitremix

what about relocated horns? mines on my dash
any tickets for that?


Mugen twin loop ftw

imported_Fr0z3N

I'm still waiting for the dangerous driving to go through, my lawyer is trying to get it down to careless driving (6 pts) or even drop it if he can

ELTYPESR

hey guys i got a ticket for running a yellow but on the paper it said i ran red /= you think i can dismiss that ticket ?

Roll_outz

Any CAmera on that intersection?

CRXTC

The reasons you got pulled over are all the discression of the cop, what makes "unnessary noise (muffler)", has the cop had his hearing test? maybe he has better hearing then 90% of the population? Has he even had a hearing test? I don't know anyone that has actually not had that dropped. They normally give that when they don't have anything else to ticket you with or just want to be a *****.

I was pulled over 4 years ago because he said I squeeled the tires off the lights, which I didn't, I did hear something but it was not me but because he saw my car (yellow) he pulled me over.

civicnation

I don't see why everyone is saying "that's too bad". If anything, I say that's exactly what needed to be done. Unnecessary noise from the muffler or the stereo is a real nuisance on the roads and furthermore, it is really dangerous because you cannot adequately hear sirens or the horns of other motorists. Your horn didn't work, your vehicle is unfit for the road, what is the issue here? The cop was right, you were wrong. Likely with the aftermarket steering wheel you don't have an airbag either.

It the careless people who mod their cars carelessly that give all the rest of the "import" scene a bad name. A little respect for the rules and you would not get hassled...go figure. If you get pulled over and everything is in order, you will NOT receive a ticket. I was pulled over many times in my old civic for routine "inspection" and since everything was in order I did not receive a ticket or any other unnecessary grief.

This thread makes me laugh. Thread starter was in the wrong, he got what he deserved.

chrisk20

If thats the case get rid of ALL bikes, ALL Harleys, Ban in car stereos. If you dont like noise tune your ears out, theres a thousand things that bother me everyday, doesnt mean they should all be made illegal. IMO theres nothing wrong with some exhaust noise, if you think about it its actually safer ie Bikes

imported_Flyte

Yeah well said bro same exact thing i said on the first page. I just said with a little more respect. Since you know, we ARE all adults. LOL


Don't forget to pay your renewal...............oh wait.........nevermind

Whiplash

Mike's exhaust is as close to oem noise-levels as you can get..
imo, if all that is legal is an oem exhaust then every exhaust shop should be shut down
i looked up "hollywood muffler" in websters...couldn't find shyt
looked up hollywood as an adjective and found "1 : of or characteristic of people in the American motion-picture industry <the Hollywood lifestyle>
2 : of or characteristic of a Hollywood film <a story with a Hollywood happy ending>
a clear definition of this term belongs in the hta
75. (1) Every motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and excessive smoke, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, straight exhaust, gutted muffler, hollywood muffler, by-pass or similar device upon a motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 75 (1).
his muffler is none of these

i again did a quick read of the hta and the only thing it mentions re: airbag is you can't sell or use a rebuilt one...couldn't find anything about removing one
i looked thru req's for safety and again couldn't find anything
"rumor" has it that should you sell your car you would need to have one...tried finding something but in an hour couldn't

no wonder we're all confused as to what's legal and what's not
if they insist on consistently throwing all of this at us they should make it easier for the gp to decpiher the rules
everything should be available in one easy-to-read document

some of the charges could be deserved, but others are not

amendments to the hta..wtf to find what they allude to tho?? still searching for answers

just fired this off to our friendly Ontarion government

Hello

I have been reading through the Highway Traffic Act, and see many amendments to it listed. I have as yet been unable to find any listing of these changes. Could you please direct me to a link where i might locate a comprehensive list of these amendments.
Also, could you please direct me towards a list of what is required for a vehicle safety certification?

Thank you for your time
Me

i figure if there's a possibility me or mine might get pulled over it's best to have everything "legal" at hand
