well i was on my way home this morning(4:30) from a hotel party at the beach and i was making a right onto birdneck to get on the interstate. Well i didnt see the cop and so i drove a little hard and then i see him in my rear view mirror. If i see a cop i usually can go easy on the gas to make it no too loud. And guess what he pulls me over. He says my iexhaust s highly illegal, exhaust is too loud and one of the loudest he has ever heard. Im ok with this b/c i chose to put this exhaust on and i am paying the price. Then he tells me that if i get repeat offenses on thsi charge that the fine will go up and my can even get impounded? I can believe the rising fine but impound? Can someone clarify this for me please. And i am so glad that i didnt drink at the party and decided to stay sober or i would have been in a world of mess if i drove home.

 

Ive been pulled over for exhaust 3 times and the cops all said the same thing and the price of ticket($80) never went up. As for the car geting impounded it never happened but im not saying it cant i think it depends on the cop.

 

some shop getting robbed or a guy getting mugged somewhere........and this cop is writing you a ticket for a muffler.......what a dickhead yo...man just 4 more months and I'm out of of VA.....waiting and sighing....................................

 

well thats va for you...

 

Agreed. It's a nonmoving violation, standard fines.

 

I have gotten about 30 exhaust tickets since in my life and I ahve never had the fine raised unless I went in front of a judge and I have never had my car impounded!


as for the nonmoving violation you insurance company takes your ehaust ticket( or equipment ticket ) as 1 Point on your record!

 

This is getting annoying now. I mean, tonight the cops were everywhere, pulling over everyone. One of them heard me exhaust at idol, then ticketed me. Roy, our exhausts are just too attractive to the cops!

 

damn you got a ticket too? bummer....
but we get point violations for exhaust violations?? wtf...
so if you got over 30 exhaust tickets, then youre sayin you had over 30 points taken away??

 

I don't think anyone I've known has had an equipment ticket go on to their driving record.

 

if its nonmoving violation they dont take points off you just pay fine, i think
