None Standard Exhaust... Woo go me. Got a 14 day ticket thing to get it changed.
Well i orginally got pulled for apparently not wearing a seatbelt, opening line from the police women was "Do you like your face" it then went on about seatbelts and showed her the harneses etc. But then she went on about defective rear light, which was due to connector pushed on the holder bit properly so fixed that but insisted it gets looked at, then the bloke said i had a race exhaust on my car, and measured it as 3.5" when infact its 2.5" and then said i bet there no centre or cat so he looked and too his surprise there was both. but again insisted i removed backbox.
Oh well, get that done then put back on.

I dont see how so many people on here get pulled over?
Ive had my car almost a year, its got a full bodykit, twin exhausts, alloys etc.
Ive never been pulled over (touch wood), i have been followed alot, but i dont drive like a twat (not saying you were) and im insured properly, i dont have a problem

Thats no bad, but quite a few people seem to have a problem with police and getting pulled over.
Why do you have to change it back to standard? If its declared on insurance and isnt stupidly loud, there shouldnt be a problem?

i dont have a problem with police but most women officers are really condescending and seem to have a problem dealing with men. Act really aggressive and arsey even if you are being pleasant

 You shouldnt have any issue getting your mot tester to stamp the defect slip.

If they MOT'd it like that then they should also be able to stamp the form as it's down to them to make sure its sound for an MOT.

they're like that round my way too  One accused me of having an illegal plate because it had a Wales Badge on it, he then told me he could give me 6 points on the spot......
It's usually the panda cops who pull me for defective this, illegal that. Even though my car is 100% legal they still insist on things Traffic boys are sound to be fair
