alright, got pulled over last night. left my fog lights on

thankfully the statie was really cool, but heres the laws i was warned for in MA.

1. auxilery lighting may only be on when there's no oncoming traffic, or in reduced visibility conditions(fog, rain, snow, or used like high beams)

2. exhaust cannot excede the decibles of the factory issued exhaust.

3. illegal tail lights(showing other than red)
well, my tail lights ARE legal he said. just wrote down the code for the law for me. he said that the bulbs are starting to fade. i told him i ordered more 2 days ago. THEY ARE LEGAL with the red reflectors on the clear as long as the bulbs dont show any white....which they are now that they are fading.


this guy was really nice, complimented me on my car, and said "i could fine you but it looks like you have some good money in the car. keep up the good work, your a nice guy." then gave me a warning and left.

it makes me glad when they are being informative and nice instead of being a prick!

 

SOunds like a cool cop. What kind of lights do you have?

 

they are some walmart fogs. they are very bright and blue looking. i got em cheap so said what the hell. i actually like them a lot! they are great in bad weather. i understand they're too breight tho

 

For every good cop story you hear, there are 10 bad cop stories. I have a good cop story, but it just involved him pulling me over (for swerving, it was 1 am, i was bored, and behind a slow person) but he let me go, no warning or anything. He just wanted to make sure i wasn't drunk.

 

i think it all depends on how you act towards the cop. if you're causing trouble for one, then yer gonna get nailed. also, if you're being a prick, they'll nail ya. he said "i know you arent being malitious, or causing problems, so i'm not gonna give you any trouble"

 

i don't know it sounds like you guys have good cops around you but where i live (south west FL) the cops are priks to anyone that has something done to there car they just luv being dicks to us
