LED side lights (PULLED)

[ken.leigh]

brought LED sidelights from halfords bout a week ago (thought they were a bit illegal but not really sure) got pulled just now thought the police officer was on bout my zenoens (convorsion kit ) so played dum and said they were off a clio sport so were perfectly legal. Then i clicked, relised he was on bout my side lights (LMAO) then i was warned if i dont change them in 24hours i will gwt a 12 month ban (lol)

the only thing is i wasnt pulled (the officer was in front of me) he didnt take my number plate didnt ask bout insurane or driving licence so wondering if its worth changing them or risking it? (only modified clio 1.2 in my area in my colour)

surely i should of been given a written warning or sumin :dapprove:

A ban for sidelights sounds steep!

 

[dutty_112]

stupid tbh trying to ban you for side lights! whats next! Jail for having your window down?

 

[Struggler]

i was pulled up for not havin legal rear lights, (black ones)
unless they give you a VDN (vehicle defect notice)
then theres nothing they can do except give you one the next time,
thats all they can do for something like this,
means you pay a small fine, and need to get it stamped that its road legal by an mot station,
bt if they din give u ne paper work, screw em,
my lights are still blacker than ever
and a 12 month ban for sidelights is just them being t***s.

To be honest i was advised by a police officer that smoking while driving could land me in trouble, i thought that to be a little over the top!

Halfrauds - enough said throw them away!
Road legal sidelights (that match Xenons) are cheaper on Ebay!

Thats it. You said 'just now' so you were out kind of late and he had nothing better to do lol

They can't ban you for that, and they need to give you more than a day to get it sorted lol.

'a bit illegal' lol

+1 'yes judge but they were only a bit illegal!'

I have LED sidelights in and passed an MOT, surely if they were illegal then the car wouldn't pass? Is this a vaid argument?

15 posts and nobody has mention it's BOUGHT, not brought.

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

hahaha if that ever happens again be a right di*k back if your car is legal and ask for a stop and search ticket, a breif discription of what you have been warned on and why they are illegal and the section of the highway code that you are in breech of. Also ask that it be logged in the police officers note book of events that evening.
