mb_ managed to get a VI thrown out, i dont know if this will help others but it is possible to get a VI tossed

^
That situation was so so so stupid, what else can be the DRL on a car with pop-up headlights? Common sense.

these caddy's also had DRL as ambers.

OEM is actually 215/45/17, not that it would make your car any less legal. Just an FYI xD

Yours is the first post I saw. I agree to fix the obvious violation but also bring your whole car in compliance. There are many areas you can fail on a Box 1/2 VI. We fail completely stock cars for poor tires, worn brakes, suspension, cracked windshield, faulty seat belts.. the list goes on.

215

what's the general reaction from the CTV piece posted weeks ago? not just reddit/4chan/this site as a gauge but the average local resident takeaway from it?

if CTV does go with the follow-up on the dealership harrassment angle, what would come of it?

would VPD higher-ups bother investigating internally if something is not a widely visible negative PR on local headlines at 6pm?

I feel Like most people(non car enthusiasts) don’t care because it’s not happening to them. They are just fed up with loud sounding exhausts even though a lot of these cars are legally below the decimal limit. I’ve brought this up with a number of non car people with the fact that you can’t reasonably fight a VI and they just look at you like your from mars. There needs to be more people coming forward who have been vi’d with a stock car. The dude with the fiat spider, why would you bother raising your vehicle if that’s how fiat delivered it legally in Canada? Just to make a traffic cop happy? Let them take it up with fiat! People get educated on the rules, print them out and keep them in your glove box and record these encounters. Be polite and respectful but don’t suck up to the officer. He’s not your buddy. Think how bad it will look when he himself doesn’t know the actual laws and you do and it’s recorded. As for telling you where to get your car inspected? You can go to any licensed facility, otherwise what are all the non dealership licensed facilities for then? Personally if I got a VI for my bmw m-sport suspension and an officer wanted to do a follow up with my dealership, they’d be told to take a hike.

Yeah, that was something I didn't like about that story. He should not have raised it before taking it for inspection if it was all stock. That would be a better argument to say it passed and he did absolutely nothing to it to make it pass.

I don't think you've read half this thread lol half the stuff youre spewing has been answered, and its not as simple as what youre saying

Not saying it’s simple. It’s just tough seeing fellow car enthusiasts being ticketed for stock or even being moderately modified which would be the equivalent of getting a speeding ticket for going 1km an hour over the speed limit. It’s a joke. We need to get more of this stuff out into the media

make sure you record that

i'd like to see how that goes down

Something like this?

Im sorta lucky that my car has the red reflectors in the actual taillights and not on the bumper

^ it looks like there's a spot for reflectors on the bottom left of the housing, but there's nothing there.

If anything, if the officer knew what he was talking about, he would've cited you for excessive poke, and not camber, which there actually is none of even visually.

Still boggles my mind the power these two officers have, spouting complete utter nonsense and being able to get away with it. There's literally videos floating around where the officers admit on-camera to not being experts on cars, yet citing us for nonsense laws that doesn't exist without any repercussions, wasting everyone's time and money on trivial things.

It's just such an unfortunate and ridiculous situation in Vancouver right now. It's sad that I won't get to drive into Vancouver once I throw my exhaust on my car come warmer temps because of two power-tripping officers getting direction from politicians to crack down on anything modified. Not worth risking it since these guys have been reported as far south as Knight and Marine, and as far west as Davie and Bute.

Time to take SW Marine to Vancouver, through UBC where it's RCMP? :badpokerface:

Discouraging as the current situation may be, we will see what the VPD and Vancouver Police Board have to say on June 13 during their board meeting. Thus far, I still don't see anything different that would give me any reasons to ease my cynicism. But at least I know that the authorities must follow procedure and answer to the inquiry, however ridiculous their replies might be...

Spotted on the south east side of Boundary Road.

I just drove by that as well. Wondering what"s going on. At least 10 VPD cops at that corner

They have been putting motorcycles on all 4 corners in downtown selling cancer donation flowers recently though this seems unlikely in this particular case

i saw a bunch of bikers ride by on Boundary near VPD station. it was followed by a bunch of cops bikes too along with an undercover SUV....

something is going on today

Could be the bike squad practicing traffic control for VIP escort.
