V Tuning 850 Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 How did he know you had an amp? Did he look in your trunk or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontheheel Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 amp or amplified exhaust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1122 Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 :lol: He means an amplified exhaust. It's not illegal to have an amplifier in your car, lots of cars come with them. That sucks man, what a jerkoff. I didn't know clear corners were illegal ANYwhere. As a matter of fact, in some states you don't even legally need working front turn signals, only rear.

thevolvoguy Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 I think he meant amplified exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Jim Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 yes an amplified exhaust??? There is no 12 volt feed to my exhaust. I'm sure it is CA. legal... and the bulb in the turn sig. is amber.I told him this and he just went on about "not stock exaust" and the blinker looks clear to him.....

matt1122 Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Did you try turning the signal on to show him it as amber?And amplified exhaust simply means that it is louder than the stock exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J0E Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Where are you in CA? If you are around the Peninsula, I can see if I can get it written off for you. The CHP and I are like ham and tuna fish. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlntRoc Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 I've been pulled over before for having clear rear blinkers (very common problem with Volvos as many know I'm sure. Anyways he brought out the book & was reading through & he read it to me & said that you can have clear or amber blinkers in the front no problem. In the rear it has to be amber or red.

prasamin Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 CHP pulled me over for my neons last year. And I didn't take them off. So, when I went to get the fixit signed off, there was some greenie cop, and he didn't even look for the neons b/c the cop that pulled me over just put "4 neon lights" on the ticket. I told the greenie that they were LED's on my front license plate, and he signed it off, although he did notice my blue turn sig. bulbs up front. He said to get those removed b/c he was sure that I did not want to deal with such an ordeal again, so he just signed off. If you're in the boonies of California, then the jerk CHP will get you for whatever they want. However, if you want things signed off, just go to around USC or places where there are drive-by's, and they'll sign anything off. They have murderers and rapists to worry about, not vehicle lighting on a friggin brick!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
