Took the car out for the first time in over 3 months on last night, got pulled over 3 times within 2 hours for excessive noise, smoke etc etc
just wandering what the best answers/excuses you lot have come up with for these situations with the police

Maybe it's because the car's just been put back on the road and was SORN before?
If not then yes I'm inclined to agree.

No they can't pull me for the month it was off the road. The other 7 months they could if they wanted.

I wasn't doing anything wrong at all, i was under the speed limit, not revving. first time i got pulled was for headlight aimed a bit high and "you need to get a quieter exhaust" second pull was "your car stuck out like a sore thumb, i heard it over all the traffic"
had the full walk around and tires checked just to be told "you obviously look after your car but that is just too loud for use on the road and it annoys people, smokes a bit too"
never had any trouble driving it before, maybe it is because its been off the road for a while/unlucky. who knows

Tbf being had 3 times in the same night for the same thing is a bit sus, maybe theyve just had a bollocking from their chief about some bad press re anti social noise or sumat, who knows.

My fave one for getting pulled for smoke is "sorry oficer, my turbo has just gone, im going to go to the scrappers and get a new one and change it at the weekend"
Occasionally " Well i shouldnt really tell you, dont say anything but I design stuff for MI6 and were working on an new smoke screen for secret agents cars"

When I've been pulled for modded cars they usually just wanna check that it's all declared, I just invite then to phone my insurers, who are open 9-5 Monday-Friday

Had a copper pull me because my car sounded funny/awesome when I went past him the opposite way a little too fast.
Basically we just had a chat about tuned diesels for 10 mins then he let me on my way
Not that I was complaining but it was slightly strange situation

If u were pulled 3 times in one night, its quite clear that you were driving your car like a nob in a public area....or else you wouldnt have been seen 3 times by the popo, let alone pulled...
If your going to take ur car for a rag, at least go out in the countryside somwhere where your not disturbing anyone and not much traffic around...always makes me laugh all the local chavs ragging there corsa's around town...and then wonder how they keep getting told of!

all i was doing was driving through town to get to the decent road on the other side. not doing anything to attract attention, just driving through under 30mph. copper pulled out of lay-by when i went past and pulled me a few meters down the road, second time was going through another town about 15 miles away, again just on my way through, but that was for the light been aimed too high then got pulled a final time on my way home because i went into a carpark to turn around, copper saw it and must have thought it was suspicious so he followed me for a while then pulled me heading out of town again. i know theres alot cops around on a saturday night so wouldnt be stupid enough to be pratting about in the middle of town.
all asked to check my licence and insurance so i guess its come up on there radar as been new in the area after been off the road for a while. they were alright about it, one of them was actually quite interested that it was a diesel

I got pulled several times in the Mazda Roadster, never been pulled driving anything else!
To be fair one time I was weaving between pot holes and they thought I might have been drunk!

A mate of mine was on his way home one night, he was flatout on his way home one evening when he was pulled over by the peelers. he comes up to the window and says, "Evening Captain, having a bit of bother taking off tonight are we?"

Ive only ever been stopped once for genuinely driving like a dick and i didnt even have to get out the car.
Well i say driving like a dick, went round a roundabout and a new fiesta ST behind me came round quick and kept on my arse so i dropped 2 gears unto 60....in a 40. Continued around several roundabouts sppedily then up a dual carriageway. Pulled up next to me at the lights and wound down the window. Was two coppers! Just said you need to slow down mate! Was definitely a "yes sir ill behave moment" lol.
Been pulled several times but just for checks and the police have always been happy the car is roadworthy and well looked after. One actually took a real interest but i wasnt sure if he was trying to catch me out after i told him what i had done to it and he said "bloody hell i bet it corners like its on rails"
