Cops had a Field Day when they pulled me over today

[Black 94 #400]

I got pulled over for doing 92mph in a 65mph on I-4, between Orlando and Lakeland, FL.
The police officer (Deputy) gave me warning, it was Labor Day Weekend, (That may of had something to do with me not getting a ticket). It's all about the attitude towards the polices. Treat them, the way you would want to be treated, and it maybe a lesser of a ticket. Lots of the pity tickets are based on the attitudes, hence the words “Attitude Ticket “

I recommend switching your Taitec JGTC exhaust to a Taitec GTLW exhaust. It's lighter and is not ridiculously loud all of the time (except for the drone at certain RPMs). Why didn't you renew your insurance?

Not in South Orange County!! Especially along the coast!!

FWIW, this is not my experience. I was born and raised here in S. Orange County and I don't put front plates on my cars. I haven't been ticketed in more than 18-years of driving.

In fact, I'm 99% sure that the only car I've ever owned that has front plates is Ol' Bessie (see signature below) and the only reason she has plates is that my parents put plates on her when she was new and when I bought here a while back I thought it better to leave the plate on that have the exposed holes in the bumper showing.

But I'm 100% aware that I run the risk of being ticketed at any time. It's just never happened to me (knocks on wood).

how does ones insurance expire anyway? around here, the insurance company mails us all sorts of reminders. if it expires, you get VERY OBVIOUS letters in the mail from the insurance company and the DMV then cancels your registration and requires you to send back the plates. if you dont do that immediately, your license is suspended on top of it.

California does not work that way.

Most insurance companies are diligent about mailing you reminders about your insurance coming due but as pathetic as it may sound, there's no system in place to "flag" uninsured motorists and suspend their license.

I think that some of you are being a little harsh on the original poster but I do agree that there really is no excuse for not maintaining proper insurance on your vehicle. That unfortunate fact is that the choice to not carry insurance affects more than just you. It potentially affects all of the rest of us in CA.

Lecture over.

The original poster wrote that his insurance had expired. Im sure your tone would be different if he happened to ding into any of your cars while having the insurance expired.

If not, you're not one to judge another.

However, if his insurance did expire, then no coverage would be provided. Not only that, but his premiums increase when there is a lapse in coverage.

Being that California is for all intents and purposes a Communist State, don't most approved aftermarket automotive related to the engine need CARB approval and have to have some sort of silly little CARB emblem on them? I'm surprised no one has set up shop out of state yet offering CARB emblems to the poor oppressed automobile enthusiasts in California.

Take something like this.....

Re-word it with the make and model of whatever CARB legal exhaust is on thier ridiculous list and JB Weld it to the side of your exhaust. End of problem. Better yet move!

my insurance expired like 2 monthes ago. <snip>

we've got far too many uninsured drivers on the road as it is - it's a shame he didn't impound your car.

Hugh, How much? :biggrin:

factory...

He walked up and said how much did you pay for your exhaust.

Couldn't of you just stated it's OEM, came w/ the car?!?

The NSX is a niche' vehicle, often those who are unfamiliar w/ it don't scrutinize it as much. (Ex. plug-n-play HID's, aftermarket exhausts, clear side-markers can be perceived to be OEM on a NSX)

JMO.

Man, that is some sh!t right there. That stuff makes me more than uninsured motorist. Getting scammed.

Seeing as you guys brought this up, there is no "issue" the car was sold almost a year ago of which my cell phone has been posted all of that time. I have never received as much as a phone call. Lots can happen in a year.

The problem the Original poster is having can easily be handled in 2 steps

1 Get Insurance..(Driving without is really F&#king stupid)

2 Leave California

Agreed on #1, but why would you leave the best weather in the world unless you have to?

If he goes to another state far enough away, he can get a brand new clean driving record and license. California is STRICT on privacy act stuff. They won't release his record.

Lecture over.

California Law now requires insurance companies to electronically transmit all insurance verifications to the DMV as well as notify them of a lapse or cancellation of policy.
DMV now knows who is uninsured and will send a notice to the registered owner of such.
Drivers have 45 days after such notice to provide DMV with proof of insurance or their registration is cancelled.

clearly as far as they were concerned, you were 'doing something'. either they were jealous of your car, suspicious of someone young driving an NSX or something else. they just wanted to pull you over and then bust your balls for some reason.

i got pulled over by staties last week for tint and no front plate but i was just given a warning (and i had paperwork from the DMV showing i had ordered a new front plate, but he gave me a warning for it all the same). can't complain though, he was polite and it wasn't a ticket.

Definitely sounds like the cop had some "issue" (personal, albeit) to pull you over ... This happened to me as well in Miami, for my tints. Ridiculous....

 

[eNeSeX 95T]

I have insurance it just recently expired and the DMV sent me a new card, but was not in my NSX at the time. I only had old expired insurance on me. And i got cited for not having it in my car at the time. when i got home i had them fax me another copy. I was surprised that the cop new that it was even an NSX. HE said I KNOW NSXS DONT SOUND LIKE THIS STOCK SO I KNOW UV DONE SOMETHING......GET IT REMOVED. Im gonna buy a decibal meter and show him next time eventhough i think my exhuast is over:tongue:

How much quiter is the lightweight? Will i lose horsepower compared to the JGTC i have now??? Will anyone trade me??????

waiting in line for 45 minutes to get a cup of coffee because there are too many people there could be a good reason.

Franchise law enforcement out. Split all fines with private law enforcement officers, give them the info and the private law enforcement officers can sit out front of uninsured offenders houses waiting for them to leave and then bust them, impound the car and collect the fees.

Throw a stock on to clear the fix-it ticket. Then put the JGTC back on.
I have a stock you can throw on if you pick it up and bring it back when you're done.

[eNeSeX 95T]

This month in my country there are many roadblock by the police. I think they need extra money for their salary bonus in January next year.
