Daytime running light ticket

[Cyle]

Some of you just don't get it. You whine and cry about these tickets and say cops should have better things to do. Would you whine and complain if they were handing out tickets to speeders outside your childs school? Or tickets to people running red lights? Where do you draw the line on what should be a warning or a ticket? ALL of them are breaking the law or you wouldn't be pulled over. The cop gets to decide plain and simple! Maybe they are sick and tired of all the POS vehicles out there with missing headlights, taillights mirrors and all that other BS. Chances are if the OP had a proper functioning vehicle he would of never been pulled over. Not the cops fault you don't maintain your vehicle!

So your calling any vehicle that has or have had at (one point in time)a recall a POS. Which you would also incluede 90% of the POPO Cars out there in this Group as well. I have worked on some of their fehicle and they are so bagged out and tons of the stuff doesnt function Properly.

i WOULD BET YOU A 100 BUCKS THIS OLD BEATER RUNS BETTER AND IS SAFER THAN MOST NEW VEHICLES OUT THERE SO THERE PARK BRAKE SOMETIMES STICKS CAUSING THE DRLS NOT TO COME ON THAT IS IT'S ONLY FLAW SO YA NOT TO BAD CONSIDERING NEW POS VEHICLES HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATORS STICKING SO YA MY DRL IS PRETTY MINOR THERE BUDDY

me thinks you have issues to deal with, maybe fix the brakes or get the old pos of the road. you got what you deserve, to bad he didn' t check your brakes. to many old jalopies on the road that should be in the scrap yards.

UOTE=imdoo'n;701133]not sure where you are going with this but, the law is the law. the police can give you a ticket for any violation of the law. you have the right to dispute the ticket at the court house on the date on the ticket. the police can give you a warning or friendly reminder. usually depending on your attitude. obviously he has an attitude and got what he deserves, maybe follow modmans suggestion and look it up, instead of spewing BS, and whining about this poor boy with the tude.[/QUOTE]

The law is the law so why aren't the enforcers of the law a.k.a the rcmp force obeying the law as well they are exempt from having drl lights on and are exempt from the non idle law but yet they pull you over for it hypocritical i think so

Sorry buddy this was a mechanics vehicle and the only thing that is even going on is sometimes the e brake sticks with no light on causing the drl lights not to come on think about this obviously my old pos is a hell of a lot safer than the news look at toyota with it's 8 million mandatory recalls for sticking gas pedals killing people now that is a pos not my old truck with only a problem with the drl lights coming on ever so often

You gotta rember cops are people too.

They have bad days like everyone else, maybe this one had it out with the wife/boss/kids before work????

My wife got a ticket in cranhole last week for running a yellow light( she has never had a ticket in her life). She said it changed when she was in the intersection. I am sure we could fight it but it would cost me more to take a day off work than the ticket is worth.

ch!t happens!

I don't have DRL on my truck...............

 

[KawisakiRider]

Park brake light on the dash wasn't on?...was it pulled on purpose?...so it doesn't shine through headlight covers and look dorky.

I can see his point about the idling of emergency vehicles and about the DRL's on police vehicles but remember they need to do this to catch people breaking the law whether it is someone breaking into you house or car or speeders or you driving with DRLs as much as we hate so laws they are still the law. I can't count how many times or a hazy day or a dusky morning(8:20) I have drove down the hwy and get behind a slow moving truck and wanna pass but you kinda get a glimpse or something and it turns out to be an old farm truck with no DRL which isn't law to that truck. Now if I was 30 years older I might have not seen it and tried to pass. They write laws to try to protect people not piss them off. As for the tinted windows once you see what it does to your face in a minor collison you wouldn't have them either.

Here is a question for everyone why do we hate police and the laws when we are the ones breaking them?........cause we get caught?....but when someone breaks into our trucks/houses it's the 1st people we call and put on a different face.

I am not a cop nor will I ever be one....but I do like doughnuts....I just value their jobs. I deal with trucks who deal with police and DOT and it always comes down to greediness of people if you do everything right a law abiding you should never have a problem.

What does it do to your face? The tinted windows....

 

[KawisakiRider]

The side glass is designed to shatter into a million pieces and fall out of the way. Now all those pieces are glued to a piece of tint...it's like running a large piece of sandpaper made of glass over your face pretty nasty. And it doesn't take a bad wreck just someone to tap you on the side for the glass to shatter

Sry didn't read far enuf, good to know.

It's a myth. Tinted windows won't do ANYTHING like that in a crash. No idea WHY people would be spouting off about that.

Those are the words of GOD....... why would you question........

Ya I read the whole thread after my first two post, makes cents about the tint helping instead of hindering.

I don't see where anything about speeding is mentioned. I have a buddy who is a cop. He said the proper thing to do is: Give the guy a written warning then it gets registered in the system. The next time, if it's the same thing he gets ticketed. If for some reason something beyond your control quits working for the FIRST time, then you should get a warning. If he had a warning already, then dude you deserve it. I have seen many people driving around with one headlight, but I didn't report them to the police, I'd hate to meet you on the highway, you'd rat me out for a burnt out headlight while I am on my way to get a new one. Like I said before, I'd rather see my tax dollars spent on more important things.

Speeding is different. You are controlling the speed of your vehicle yourself. It is intentional.

Modman, you are right there is usually more to the story and we do not know the whole thing. Maybe the cop was going to give a warning and got attitude from him, which triggered the ticket, you're right.

But why do people have to start calling his vehicle a POS, what's a matter with this lovely group of people.

Exactly no one but him knows the full story, and it sure seemed to me that he KNEW of his problem for sometime and didn't fix it. So why does he need a warning? A warning is just incase you didn't know, no reason to get one if you just fail to fix the problem. E-brake stuck/frozen whatever happens, but when it's on and no light in dash etc, yea maybe it might not be so great. Big difference if you take care of problems though.......

And tell me this, if he just got a warning how likely if he to fix the problem and make sure it doesn't happen again? Decent? How likely if he gets a ticket? Very likely? Good reason to ticket instead of warning to me.

No, no one was talking about speeding but it is the same sort of thing. Cops have to draw a line on where you got to give out tickets instead of just warnings. Good example this spring I was in sylvan lake camping, 2 people I was with got a drinking in public ticket cops said they were tired of warning everyone (although the "warning" for us was the tickets). Yea it happens, you got to deal with it. You got to realize how much BS and idiots they got to put up with.

 

[khaos_]

Whatever.....drinking in public is still intentional, but you shouldn't even get a ticket for that. lol...blah...blah...blah

Some Vehicles are in spec for instance my trucks sometimes freezes ON. But the light will be off on the dash but no DRL. This is due to a 2 tooth gap between the 2. I would have told that Cop off. They are lazy thats all there is too it, drive past any timmys any time and your gaurenteed to be atleast one. Fight it and then after you win give him a gift card for timmys and tell him its where he belongs.

 

[Mike270412]

I don't have DRL on my truck...............

My smokin hot Bonneville doesn't have them either...

 

[jaredszakacs]

Ticket was issued after he issued the ticket is when the attitude came out becaus ehe never had them on his vehicle when he pulled me over and it wasn't even attitude it was well if you don't have to have the drl lights then why does the rest of the country have to have them on wich he explained he was exempt from that rule and we both carried on with the day no attitude to issue a ticket were a simple warning was all it took
