it just said excessive smoke from exhausts, but there was piss all smoke comin out. i could see them behind me and there's no way it woulda put any1 else off, they were just bein twats.

if there was loadsa smoke i would put my hands up and took the fine, but its just the fact that he was callin me a liar to my face wen i was tellin the truth

Tw4t probably didn't know what a blower was ffs. I'd appeal it & see what happens. Whats the worst that can happen? How much is a fixed penalty for this anyway?

Yeah i can understand why your angry. It seems like the cop has been totally unreasonable and blatently picked on you.

I was at the Circuit of Ireland last year in an old 405 dt (which had been screwed ever so slightly for the occassion!!!), and on my way home through lurgan the cops stopped me because the back of the car was pure black and the smoke was pumping out of it!

I told him that I was coming back from the rally and that my turbo had blown over the weekend. He was happy enough with that and let me away with it, just said to make sure and get it fixed!

But I just hate the ones that won't listen to what you have to say, they are right no matter what! Although I'd say the chances of you getting the fine scrapped are slim since the car obviously was smokey in the first place, otherwise you wouldn't have been stopped, and it is a legimate reason for a fine, as I have 2 producers from different occassions to prove!

What exactly was he going to arrest you for ???

Seek legal advice. Sounds like he has given you a fine for nothing. Is he in any way qualified, that he can or cant tell what is wrong with your car ?

I highly doubt he knows **** about anything car related.

**** i'd have made a cock out of him had it been me!!

Me too i'd let the fecker arrest me, and get a court date!!! Yes judge sure lock me up and throw away the key, for me breaking the law by having a smokey car! Forget about the skaig head's robbing and stealing, let them off and send them to a diamorphine clinic, but hit me with the biggest fine you can think of, a law abiding citizen, who pays taxes and follows the natural run of life!!!

Sure turn me into a skaig head, stick a needle in my arm, and i'll be better off in this system of so called justice!!! Feck it while your at it, change my nationallity to kurdish, and let me claim aslylum while ur at it!!!! them i can get my own pad complimentary of the government!!!

Terrible attitude from the cop especially if you had a turbo sitting beside you. I'd complain about him, I'd imagine you have a good case.
