[kiddmanty]

just do it

hey if a cop askes you to pop the hood just do it (if you have nothing to hide) b/c if you dont they will get pissed at you and make you go in for a "inspection" and making you pay the cost of the inspection. so if a cop askes you to pop the hood just take a little time and do it to save you some money and if the cop is really bitter he might just keep pulling you over if your "snotty" (in there eyes).

and if you are up to date in your inspection and you are compliant you will have proof which you can show him which would not allow him to give you an VI, and if they start to harrass you, you can file a complaint which will make you pretty much untouchable unless you do something really dumb and get caught...

i never got in SH&*T with cops before imean pulled over with my skyline
they just look and yeah i was drivin side by side with a pig once and just waved at me

[benk23]

alright story time
Well i kinda giggle and he gives me the low down on a $350 dollar ticket for goin 70kms over the speed limit and such

its only $350 for goin 70 over?!? 2 summers ago a cop gave me a ticket for going 142 in a 100 zone (long story but basicly he didnt radar me. he radared my friend who was doing that speed but people called in and said that they saw a white nissan and a black pontiac racing so he decided to give me the same ticket cuz he assumed i was doing the same speed. i wasnt. i fought it and one) and that was over 400 dollars. how the hell is it only 350 over there for goin 70 over? jeez!!!

Montreal cops are currently profiling JDM vehicules watch out.

I've been driving for 3 year here with no problems.

Now they are cracking down on honest car enthusiasts with a vengence

in other other words: Illegal and guilty till proven not guilty.

I'm not enjoying spring as I used too.

[Gozirah]

One month of driving the GTR, and FD in mississauga and not one random stop yet! This is compared with up to two a day last summer!
I even had a cop that was stuck at a set of lights behind me behind who actually didn't pull me over!

Anyone else notice that cops are getting more lax with harrasing GTR owners in Mississuaga?

[blink]

I never had the chance to get pulled over, drove mine for 300km then it blew

This is a 4 year old thread

Zombie thread!

Put a Support the Troops, Vetern Poppy or RCMP/OPP Support sticker and/or license plate frame. It shows respect for the law.

IN ONTARIO:

the police, if they question the legality of your skyline, should refer to the ministry of transportation.
they are the only people qualified to perform road side vehicle inspections.
BUT THEY MIGHT BE CERTIFIED TO INSPECT (OPP USUALLY)

if found to be legally modified, issue an infraction.

if asked to open the hood, simple ask why you are being directed to do so (politely).
THEY MAY JUST WANT TO DROOL!

explain its so you can offer an explination or alternative solution.

other then the suspicion of some legal contraband, there is really no reason for a police officer to inspect under your hood.
he is not a mechanic. but he can request further inspection, and issue a vehicle inspection

the most common police question is

" aren t you suppose to have something on your car saying its right hand drive"

highway traffic act .63.
63. Every vehicle that is equipped with a right hand drive shall, unless it is equipped with a mechanical or electrical signal device as described in subsection 142 (6), have prominently displayed on the rear thereof, in bold face letters of not less than 50 millimetres in height and of a colour which is in contrast to that of the vehicle, the words,
“RIGHT HAND DRIVE VEHICLE”.
R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 63


the remedy is section 142. sub section 6

Requirements for signalling device
(6) A mechanical or electrical signal device shall clearly indicate the intention to turn, shall be visible and understandable during day-time and night-time from the front and from the rear of the vehicle for a distance of 30 metres, and shall be self-illuminated when used at any time from one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise. R.S.O. 1990, c.

so by having functioning turn signals you are okay.

2. "your exhaust is to loud."

answer. 1. who is testing this volume? and with what device?
and 2. show the officer the "jasma certificate" or explain that the exhaust is jasma certified so it is under 120 db

3. legal modifications

what legal modification did you notice before you opened my hood?

seem like profiling ..

be polite, have your documents, be calm.
record the officers badge number name date time location and reason for stop. " routine spot check " is what they will say

happy motoring

Lots of good information but you might want to whip out the old websters to check your understanding of the words legal and illegal...
