    The Plod

    Had a nice drive in Perth this morning, Mr Plod pulled me up for too darker tint and exhaust noise.... copped a yellow sticker, so off comes the tint and on goes the rear muffler and back to a rear exit.... what a fun day...

    If the exhaust exits the side of the vehicle, it has to do so aft of the last opening window. Does yours?

    How did they determine it was too loud - by ear or sound meter?

    But - was Mr Plod right on both counts??

    hi P38, mine exits below the bumper line through the rear quarter panal which is rear of the last opening window, on the defect notice he wrote for it to be compliant and exit rear the vehicle... he did not use a meter on the exhaust only the tint which came up with a reading of 15% which was lower than the darkest legal i think he said 35%...

    That's true, but it also cannot exit on the left side of a right hand drive vehicle.

    Talking the plod

    I am in my late 50s and still have little respect for our men in blue especially the traffic cops---the revenue raisers---I live in the tropics and since I have the extra dark tint could be considered illegal too but it sure makes for pleasant driving

    We have quite a few police officers on this forum, including a few HWP/ex-HWP.

    I've been driving (legally) for nearly 50 years and I've never had a problem with a police officer - nor have I ever been booked. Yes, I have been pulled over but never for speeding (even though I do push the limit a bit). I've seen the police in action at where I worked and I do have a lot of respect for them.

    May be wrong, but my understanding of a canary, I that to have it removed requires more than addressing the identified issues (Tint and exhaust). It requires a full road worthy to be completed.
    BTW, the tint needs to meet requirements on the front windows only, the rears and back can stay as dark as you like.
    As for Mr Plod...he/she only "polices" the laws...can't make 'em. Sometimes they get confused. Being on a quotas, (sorry KPIs..., of course quotas don't exist, how silly of me) to prove their worth, we are all an easy target
