andyxr6t Member 35 Member For: 14y 3m 30d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 20/08/11 02:04 PM Share Posted 20/08/11 02:04 PM Guys, Got a quick questions. I was defected tonight for my exhaust being under 100mm from the ground, and my BOV vented to atmosphere (according to the police). I have no worries about getting these cleared but was just concerned he has only given me until Monday evening to have this fixed.I know I cannot drive after this point but if I don't have this cleared by then does my car become unregistered?ThanksAndrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best give them a ring. I know you dont drive around like an idiot and your rig isnt outlandish how come they picked on you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much right at that moment a highway pulled up at the opposite corner. He turned and followed me so I just pulled over.He fined me for having my fog lights on, and just a usual car search. I guess I was lucky he could have been a real bastard I suppose.Anyways lesson learned, have to throw some more weight in the back next rain lol.Mitch, you mind me asking what they charge for engineering certificates?Andrew.

Your attitude and pulling over early probably saved you. Cool about the cruise might start a list so people can add their names. Cut n paste shaggers. Hopefully Mitch has the Datmobile sorted, I'm not gonna say what he's doing lalalalala RhinoAndy Edited 21/08/11 09:35 AM by Rhino1980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
