lol wut?
So because the cop didn't realise my old man was in the back and bricked himself when he realised what he had just done infront of an adult that means drugs have been misued?
Where can I buy some of your logic?

See, that's weird. We're local to each other and police don't even notice my 172.
Yeah I'm sure that Police officer really did s**t himself when you're old man asked him "what the f**k he was doing". I bet he was really scared, could've arrested him but still, really scared.
Cool.
I just told what happened, pick a hole in it if you want. No skin off my nose.
Keep up the good work.

A 172 doesn t really stand out or look that boy racerish as standard as they don t look that much different to a 1.2! Only if they are given the maccy d carpark stylin do they attract police attention.Or as mentioned if they are being driven in a fashion that attracts attention.
In my earlier years i got pulled a couple of times and it was all for the above reasons,since i ve matured and had a whole range of standout cars like scoobys,integra s and others and have never been stopped!

a couple of years ago i got pulled when i was reversing onto my drive in the claim that i was just seen doing 65 in a 50 zone, i thought this to be really funny seing as i had just got back off a 2 week holiday started the car up and reversed 10 yards? unless i managed to reverse at 65 miles an hour, making my car the fastest reversing car around 
clio v6
I didn't get pulled. I pulled further and further away
I've had my 182 for 3 years now and have been pulled 3 times. Once was indeed my fault as I went through a amber light, the police officer said I was "taking a risk", but plenty of people go through on amber all the time. When he had nothing on me he then asked me to step out the car. Said he was going back to his van to "do some checks" him and the female officer who was accompanying him told me my car was connected with local drug dealing. No idea how as my 182 travels 50 miles a week to work and back. He did a full search of my car, myself and my gf. Whne they found nothing they then thought it was funny and laughed it off. Total joke. Been pulled 2nd time for driving home at 2am(I used to run a public house), he said he was just doing some routine checks and then let me go. 3rd time i got pulled was because my mates a copper and i didn;t realise it was his van LOL. HE thought he would try and put the s***s up me and show me up on the high street with blues and twos behind me .

Of course you disagree, half of the problem is that you were not aware there was a problem with your driving. Assuming your Saxo did not look like a Christmas Tree, sound like a wet fart or look like a dog then it was your driving. I suspect later on your driving simply improved.
Young 'uns do not seem to be aware that they are driving idioticly. We all have, but most of us grow out of it, which is why you'll see a general trend that people tend to get pulled over less as they get older.
Of course the car you drive does have an impact; ie. a chavved up 1.1 Saxo with a stupid exhaust is going to attract more attention than say a three year old 3 series, but 99.5% of the time, unless you're driving a shed, a Police Officer will rarely pull you based solely on the car - either he/she hasn't liked a manoeuvre, you've been reported by someone else for driving like a nonce or you've made it on to their "list" (yes, they do exist).
There are exceptions, but if you're getting pulled over 15 times in 12 months there is a problem and there is little point trying to blame it on anything else.

There is so much stupidity in this thread.
Why do so many people think that if you are pulled over that you have automatically done something wrong?
So many people saying "I've been driving 5 years and never been pulled over because I don't drive like a dick". Well done, your medal is on its way to you mate.
You can be a perfectly sensible driver in a perfectly sensible car and still get pulled over. Just because you are pulled over it doesnt necessarily mean you were driving like a dick or your car is illegal etc etc.

No doubt, people get pulled over when driving sensibly, but this is generally the exception rather than the rule, and when you get pulled over 15+ times in 12 months, you cannot possibly argue it is anything but the manner in which the driver presents him/herself, be it a poor state of maintenance (lights out etc.), modifications of poor taste (neons, silly exhausts on 1.1 saxos etc.) or bad driving.
You would pull him over!? For a plate?! Get a grip! You must be a traffic cop...

f**king right. I would pull him over too. If the plates illegal, its illegal.
Why should he expect to not have to obey the law when others do?

thats the thing, looking on this website there are more people with 3/4 front plates than people with full size(lagal) plates so its not as if it is just me that is breaking the law on this one.
There's just a whole lot of people judging people that they have never met.
The fact is, Police do pull people over just because they feel like it. Whether it be because of how they look, the way their car is or whatever. It happens, if you get pulled over 100 times and never get a tciket, then you're not any worse that someone who never gets pulled.
People on here just argue for fun.

People who usually have something wrong with there car have other things wrong/crims, true fact that.
And yet you're worried about getting a 3/4 plate... Get it sorted mate lol. :rasp:
I mostly drive around Notts, which is where I got most of the attention from. Dont think ive seen a Police car in Mansfield when ive been driving around there
182
Got pulled 2 or 3 times as a teenager.
Not been pulled in the last 10 to 12 years though.
My guess it was a combo of driving like a tit and just being a young lad at the wheel. Ive no doubt the type of car contributes as well though. Not that a Clio would attract too much attention. I'd expect a Scooby or Civic Type R to get far more.

Trust me, plenty of cop's around Mansfield lol. Thing is if i whack a 3/4 plate on you can guarantee they will instantly notice it. They aren't slow around here lol.
That said i was following a nob earlier who's rear plate was about 5" long and 2" tall. Following at a safe distance i couldn't read it for s**t and i've got very good eyesight lol.

Perhaps you should re-read your post and the quote
Haha... I meant who get's pulled 15 times in 12 month lol!! My finger's obviously typed quicker than i thought :rasp: It's still some going!

If you're driving late at night, near or through a city centre, then you can expect to be pulled over. Only time I've ever been pulled over was about 2:30am, after leaving a bar. They said although my driving wasn't something to pull me over for they still wanted to breathalyser me. I hadn't had a drink anyway, so co-operated, they then found they didn't have any straws left for it. So they let me on my way
If you want to know why you've been pulled over then just ask, they can't refuse to tell you however they can give you some sort of rubbish excuse. But don't let it aggravate you as they'll just hold you up for being a prat
