No. I risked it and drove with an expired insurance since it was just 2km away from me.

Do you mind posting a pic of the exhaust tips?
Sucks that you got VI'd for the tips.

I'm not sure you should post in public about driving with expired insurance. I think Constable Cunt (sp?) lurks here.

Think he's ok unless Constable has a time machine.

And I thought I was safe ripping around Richmond. I just saw a new BCHP Ford Explorer parked on Westminster hwy, good thing I wasn’t driving any of my cars.

Is BCHP what Cain is gonna be a part of? If it has nothing to do with Cain & Co then there's nothing to worry about.

BC Highway Patrol? I didn't know they were marked as such, but they're always there and they don't do anything other than catch you for speeding

BCHP is the rebadged RCMC highway division.

They have a new logo.

They never advertise vpd or rcmp out to get you for VIs either. I'm pretty sure these guys have the power to give you a box 1, 2, 3. A VI is an inconvenience but a 40 kms over impound would bother me more.

I'm pretty sure Cain is a part of this. I'm thinking this because even months ago he has given tickets out as far as Langley.

My friends (silver) E46 M3 with just exhaust and one turn signal burnt got Box 1 on Marine and Victoria. It has coils, but it's at stock height, and height isn't mentioned on the N&O

Buckingham was smoking a cig and no mask the entire time. Smh. He's still specifying West Coast Alignment for VI.

Jmanhas in the AW E46 M3 got Box 2 yesterday. SGT SCZA muffler on this one. I had this, it was pretty tame.

Both got unnecessary noise ticket.

Time to sell my exhaust...game over.

DGN23 05-17-2021 05:23 PM

Imagine impounding a car cause it sounded a bit noisy and thinking you've made a positive difference in your city.

LengJai 05-17-2021 06:09 PM

The conditions and guidelines on what they consider box 1 worthy is completely stupid. There's no consistency or any form or criteria. An exhaust and burnt turn signal does not validate a box 1... Because if that's the case, 9/10 cars I saw just on my 20 min drive just now should be taken off the road.
Hell, I hate to say it but my dad's van is more dangerous than my car lol. Bald tires, worn brakes, loose ass hand brake... I had to give him a lecture about it today. Ffs

hud 91gt 05-17-2021 06:25 PM

Really regret buying straight piping on my last exhaust build. Should have filled in all the gaps with resonators. Lol

Eff-1 05-17-2021 09:24 PM

VPD's own internal operations manual states a Box 1 is to be issued only when vehicle is "found not to be roadworthy (one or more critical safety items are in extreme dis-repair)".

box 3 = minor defect(s) that do not affect the safe operation of the vehicle (e.g. worn tire(s) in the summer, inoperative signals, inoperative brake lamps)

box 2 = When a member believes a vehicle should undergo a complete inspection due to the number of deficiencies or the severity of the deficiency

68style 05-17-2021 09:31 PM

I can hear Buckingham's voice in my head "So then we're going to go ahead and get your vehicle towed for you, it's for your own safety and the safety of others you know mate, I'm not here to ruin your day for you mate, it's just to make sure everyone is safe and that your vehicle will be good as new when you get it back on the road mate. Matey mate."

I'll give him one thing, he somehow makes it sound like he's doing you a damn favour every time so it doesn't hurt as bad until you think about it later and you're like WTF... as opposed to Cain's method of belittling and ridiculing and talking over everyone.

Sounds like your typical sexual assault suspect minus the roofie.

GIZZ 05-18-2021 09:17 AM

Kinda unbelievable they are handing out box 1's so freely

Mike Smyth show on cknw on this issue.
I feel like this MLA for ndp he interviewed was really reaching to make this a bigger problem than it is, and trying to make it an easy cash grab with the noise cameras

BlackV62K2 05-18-2021 11:39 AM

How much do these asshole cops get paid? I hope they are bottom of the barrel pay grade compared to other cops that actually make a difference.

WAIT WHAT? Noise cameras like speed cams?

Harvey Specter 05-18-2021 12:21 PM

Noise cameras? Lulz, FFS.

This a bigger agenda to get everyone in electric cars, bikes and public transit.

trollface 05-18-2021 12:24 PM

How do you even prove said noise is from me?

underscore 05-18-2021 12:27 PM

didn't those fail miserably in Alberta?
