what are we "tuner community" gonna do about the increase in bs tickets?
you could be driving less than speed limit, and if you have a:
-muffler
-aftermarket lights (even if orange)
-license plate cover
-honda
-1.5" drop
-seat belt on
-riding in the right lane
you're gonna end up getting a ticket anyways...it's getting ridiculous, and i'm having extreme doubts about continuing on with planned projects, because i can't afford the court fees, and ultimately the insurance fees....
insurance companies are strarting to weed out tuned cars, or youths with one minor ticket
iit seems like they don't want any of us males driving anything with any aftermarket products, or style to them
this is getting out of hand

Nothing theres nothing we can do, pigs pull over a civic for having an exhaust while soccer moms are dodgin in and out of traffic with kids in there minivan and bikers on harleys with exhausts i can here miles away. its all bs

~Towelie~

best thing to do right now is keep fighting, i hear some judges are getting upset with these rediculous tickets..........and wasting there time............. so hopefully the bull$#i! will stop (but most likely not anytime soon)

p.s i would hate to see you stop working on your car spl civic

CRXlover

insurance companies are even worse, did u know last year they made a 650 percent profit rise over the previous year? and all the while they hike everyones rates and bs about not making any money. grrrr pigs and insurance compnaies

I heard they made an 800% profit today, but they said it wasn't because of car insurance, surreee there.

**** i sorta agree with this first post. it is getting very frustrating, and im seriously considering any future mods just as to not have problems.

im allready seriously considering putting a stock exhaust back on.

bdotdan

if your not doing anything wrong, and have no illegal **** on ours cars, you still think we need to "live with it"?

you guys need to move out of the GTA... I never get hassled by burlington or hamilton cops neither do any of my friends

imported_~ILLEST CIV~

if u have nothing illegal on your car....and the physical appearence isn't modified....then u won't get pulled over.......unless ur speeding......or some other things like taillight burnt out or what have you. My brother in law use to drive a civic all stock......drives basically the same route as me everyday....he never use to get pulled over......i have a couple of things on my car that changes the physical appearence........i get pulled over.


it comes with the territory is all i'm saying.......u modify your car to suite ur personality.....and so ppl can look and so u can be different.......u do that, u be prepared for both the negitive and positives of ur actions.

bdotdan

what im saying though, if nothing is illegal then why do we get treated the way we do? it isn't fair is what im saying.

imported_~ILLEST CIV~

that my friend is a question......that i don't think anyone can ansewer. . . i refer back to what i said previously....if it'z modified, it's gonna get pulled over to check the legality of the mods.

that is probably the best way to ansewer that.

who knows. . .


Do those of u who drive stock civics get pulled over a lot as well? and get issued tickets?

I drove around for 3yrs in a modded 1st gen crx, lowerd, exhaust, race prepped carb etc. and I drove that car almost 200km daily throughout mississauga and oakville and I was never hassled...in that time span I was pulled over 3 times (speeding, going around a corner too fast and for my exhaust) the outcome of those 3 times was 1 ticket for speeding which I deserved...and since then (this being yr 4) still no problems in my civics w/intake, exhaust, lowered, tint etc.

maybe police just dont like yall...or maybe they go after the white/asian folk these days...given up on the black guys (LOL...works for me )

imported_spl_civic

i've been pulled over too many times for nothing, literally...just pulling out of my neighborhood...it's gotta be the muffler, i guess it's gotta go back to stock and then bolt on the aftermarket when we go tracking...damn...the car's gonna be so slow

punkindrublic

only bs ticket i ever got was for having my license plate in my windshield as opposed to on my front bumper.... but nothing for exhust, sound or suspension... and my hood has never been poped by a cop....

ah well when my dad was my age he drove a ** chevelle SS and had all the same problems... well not the same problems but hastle from the cops all the same...

guess its just a part of growing up

yeah... and then you're driving a STOCK car that's exactly what they want

showcivic

i get pull over once in a while just for a check up, you deal with it ... and most of the time it's fine ... i mean if your modding your car, be prepared to be hassled ... if you can't take the heat from the cops, go back to stock ... if your a true enthusiast then take it like a man ...
