Hi, :go:

says it all really, 1 minute there illegal all together and he wanted them ripped off and then they were just illegal if they were switched on. sounds to me like not even the police kno. Thus meaning there has been no law about it. So these stupid power freaked coppers need to watch bb and get a reality check.

Hiya

I think you shouldnt type in text speak Tazz, to hard to understand, had to read it really slow

Yeah i was thinking that myself when Aggy mentioned being pulled.

Agree with evo babe about the text talk, real difficult to translate.

Most police dont have a clue, i have inlaws that are poilice officers that dont even know what NOS is, they wouldnt know that rear lights have to have reflectors and would probs be baffled at neons.

Just got unlucky i suppose.

you should have asked him to call a traffic cop out as they are the law on the roads.

then if he said turn them of or go to court you could then say see you in court.

there is no section or code for neon lights in teh police book as of yet.

make sure your neons are not on show and that the glow is only visible. if they can see the light tubes like on yours then you do have a problem.

but hey not all coppers are bad there are some thatt are on your side you might not know it.

:go:

I got pulled about my neons and i said iv been told it is only illegal if the tube is showing, to this he replied 'well if the sun is behind a cloud can you see the light??' i was like hmmmmm shut up... but i didnt argue coz he could have done me for my tires why do they even bother pulling people over for things like this, they need to be out doing something that actual helps people like catching real criminals!!!!!!!!!!!!

i got pulled for doing 40 in a 30 and others where going much fater than me, put he skipped over that and asked about my neon, i said it was wired direct to my lights,said i can pull it out, just said to leave and do in the morning, still not done it and not been pulled since.

print off the law bit on neons from a goverment sight and then hand them it and they will soon shut up make sure everything else is 100% legal!
