標題: anyone got VI'd recently? [打印本頁]

作者: sacky 時間: 2008-3-14 11:13 標題: anyone got VI'd recently?

Not cursing anyone including myself in getting VI'd but just wondering if anyone got VI'd lately.....

i have a really bad expereince with this one cop back in september when i was coming out form my block....

at first i saw a cop coming from left to right, i purposly waited until he past then i made the right turn....but seconds after i pulled out i see him cutting to the other lane, braked, and he was behind me...then he turned his lights and pulled me over.

i didnt even reach 40kmph when this happened....and then i co-operated with him and he started checking my car lala....
he listed out exact names of my aftermarket parts (spoon n1 exhaust....custome bpipe....6000k hid...non ambered cornors...etctec...)and i did not say anything impolite or give any sort of attitude...ya i did get a VI ticket in the end, and he was telling me he just came out of training camp and will be in this area for a while....

the next day my exgf got pulled over too from the exact same cop and given a ticket...

so im jus wonderin if this guy still around? or anyone been VI lately so i can keep an eye out for stupid turtles or ninja turtles.

o the guys is called Alan Chan.....(yea i even know his name) due to another issue with getting the car checked which was completed retarded

*edited* yes richmond areaaaaaaaa

How bad was the experience? Did he abuse his power?

"spoon n1 exhaust....custome bpipe....6000k hid...non ambered cornors...etctec..."

I don't see anything wrong to gave you VI.

You modified your car, 預左啦!

作者: shutterbug 時間: 2008-3-14 12:04

sacky, did you remove your cat?

if not, what's wrong with an aftermarket exhaust and some lights??? since when they're so strict?

the last time I got VI was many yrs ago, when I was driving my old car... I guess they pick on Japanese car.
The car I'm driving right now, it's lower than my old car, and I got the euro headlight, so there is no ambered corners too. However, I never get any ticket about all mods.
Couple years ago, a cop stopped me, and he said my wheels looks too wide and my car looks too low from behind, that's why he stopped me... But the funny part was, after he looked around, even looked under the car, asked me to turn the steering all the way to both sides, he let me go, no tickets. He said he didn't see any scratch marks on my tires, that means the tires or wheels won't hit the fenders. (There is no gaps on the rear, and less than one finger gap on the front, and prefect offset, wheels look flush with the fenders). Actually, my car has rubbing issue, can't sit too many ppl, lol. No fat chicks allowed!

lok: haah i bet u did that on purpose!! so only hot chicks allowed in ur car =p
wht car do u drive now btw?

ya my car isnt low at all...consider whats out there like some new GTI's i see them basically less than 3 inches above ground...i guess i was really unlucky that time...!! and he measured my car it was too low at that time due to bushing problems, which made my car 1cm below the 55cm mark from the ground....i dont drive insanely aggressive, and dont normally cut traffic like crazy!!

never gotten a speeding ticket as i haf a super clean record! just vi tickets that bugs me

traum: 4 and cambie is where i got pulled over...= =...but a i take RCMP richmond covers the whole richmond dont they??

shutterbug: the time i got pulled over i did have a cat on, one of the reason he pulled me over was my bpipe and spoon axle back exhaust, he said there isnt enuff bends in my exhaust system?? i forgot if it was 4 or 5 bends?? yaaa but obviously i do haf it...and i dont want to argue with the him and piss him off...so ya im like whteva...cuz i didnt expect it bein such a pain to go to get my car checked...

until he assigned me specifically to go to the dealer to get it checked! sh!t man the dealer was wht pissed me off...i went to rmd acura they told me they are in the process of changing the system of VI where its all done online and taken by pictures....and they cannot do it the old way by checking the report sheet and sending it to ICBC.... i then called all the acuras in the whole lower mainland and same result ended up saying they are in the middle of switching the system, thats when i went back to negioate with alan and how much more unlucky can i get when he called the richmond acura guys they said YES they'll do it and haf the system up and running when really the guy alan was speaking to was a receptionist (not parts and service department) and that just came back from 3 weeks holidays...and then he started thinkin im BS-ing him and lying....

where i ended up getting my VI done was NORTHSHORE acura in north van....and at that time lthey did it by paper not photos...they didnt know about the switch to online system until i just done when theyre manager came back and check their cert showings its expired...but luckily they dont do much VI and said they pretend dont know and still submit the report.... but either way i haf the repot in my hand so i can still renew my insurance...

man thats so much bs to go through for a VI =[

thats wht i thought too thats why i haf my cat still there,,,,but the cop said something about hafing this many bends so it reduces emission or pollution or sumthing i forgot.....but i took as bs cuz i did haf bends in my exhaust system...but ya i didnt wanna argue with him cuz im sure if he wants to bs some reason to give me the ticket he will find his way....

HID he actually said it was fine, it wasny crasily blue or bright so he had no issue with that. only me not hafing amble cornors (which i change to now) and my car being lower than 55 cm from the ground (measurin from the dot of the head lights) which now is above 55cm...but ya....gay cop i must say

作者: BarF1 時間: 2008-3-15 01:51

He probably means the straight through muffler.
Spoon N1 being one.

I had my exhaust poke with a rod to see if its a straight through ...

hee... b/c the law says so. Technically, any aftermarket exhaust is illegal. That is sad...

Btw, I haven't got ticket or VI and I go to richmond everyday with my lightly-modified car. So I guess it all depends on luck

This is not HK, man! IIRC, the Motor Vehicle Act only describes emission requirements (must have cat, basically) and set out some vague clause describing the loudness of the exhaust note.

-Lik

I know this is not HK.
Apparently, you are not very familiar with the motor vehicle act in BC. I bet you don't modify your car. If you do, you should seriously find out before you do

=====================================================================================================
Muffler
7.03 (1)  A motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine shall be equipped with an exhaust muffler consisting of a series of pipes or chambers which ensures that the exhaust gases from the engine are cooled and expelled without excessive noise.

Cut-outs prohibited
(2)  No person shall drive or operate a motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine when the muffler with which the vehicle is equipped is cut out or disconnected from the engine.

Part removal prohibited
(3)  No person shall drive or operate a motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine equipped with a muffler from which has been removed any baffle plate or other part.

Alteration prohibited
(4)  No person shall drive or operate a motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine equipped with a muffler the exhaust outlet of which has been opened or widened.

Noise increase or flames prohibited
(5)  No person shall drive or operate a motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine equipped with a muffler or exhaust system to which is attached any device which increases the noise of the expulsion of the gases from the engine or allows a flame to be emitted from the exhaust system.
=====================================================================================================

You can interpret whichever way you want to.  However, you take it to RCMP (esp. Richmond), they will only give you one interpretation on modified exhaust.

Ar lik gor... straight through muffler is "straight through" ... so it doesn't consist of "a SERIES of pipes or chambers which ensures that the exhaust gases from the engine are cooled and expelled without excessive noise" ...

so those group N mufflers that do not consist of any bents INSIDE the muffler are definitely not to be considered as muffler with a SERIES of pipes or chambers.

i dunno... Straight through muffler is for sure illegal. But the most ridiculous thing is that even non-straight through aftermarket muffler can be claimed as illegal too. The most often charged offense is (3) unless you can prove that the number of baffles is the same as original. LOL

I didn't get any VI lately (but in Dec last year because of lowered car), but just got a ticket yesterday off from a Chinese officer, I was just driving not even at 30 man, right in front of the McDonald at the corner of Hazelbridge way... damn it.
He said that I don't have the amber reflector in the corner and have a big muffler (about 3.5" tip)
$109 x 2 man....even you have $25 off for each of them, but still...come on...just an amber reflector...
but well, seems I'm not the only one who got pulled over because of the muffler here la..ha ha ha..

I'm thinking to dispute it, but just don't have enough reasons, since the law says that can't use aftermarket muffler and there must be an ember reflector in the corner...

無計架喇. 要改車就預左俾人抄, 除非跟足 Moter Vehicle Act 啦.

你corner入面d燈都唔係 amber?

作者: chobit 時間: 2008-3-28 14:58

has the law been changed recently or what?

I kind of remember that the exhaust can't be changed until the original fails, and it is after the warranty period. Then we can use aftermarket exhaust as long as it has a CAT, and it meets the basic emission requirement...??

作者: xelloss 時間: 2008-3-28 15:38

My corner lights are amber la, but just doesn't have that orange reflector inside.

For the muffler, they said the diameter of the outlet is too big, almost 4 inches wide, The look similar to an Apexi muffler. so i get caught.

I just had a VI in DEC last year ja... bad luck me

, but good that he didn't give me VI again.
