thats a good one DM we need a ninja smiley

or from what I have been told hire Danny he has Super Secret Ninja powers :danny:

as far as i knew they could only give a warning it must be a city law. But first how long did you emit smoke for approx.

[QUOTE=tiremann9669;612205]I'm not saying it hasn't happened, but I've never heard of anyone in NY getting a ticket for smoke. Cops here are to bust tryin to bust you for not wearin your seat belt. QUOTE]

I have. Ever heard of J. R. Collins trucking out of Ohio? They have a fleet of Mack dump trucks, and he was truck pull champion a couple times, with the Buckeye Bulldog. ALL his trucks RUN!!!
He got a smoke ticket in NY. $2500, and the truck was impounded. They flatbedded it out of state, and had to fix it before returning to NY. He now runs propane to clear up the smoke.

[quote=Racer9;612333] No kiddin, where did he get the ticket ? Was it at a truck inspection point, or just a pullover ? :c:

well actually when they are trying to get you to wear your seatbelt they are trying to save your life
I take it you have never been in an accident where the vehicle rolled
I have and it is not fun :ouch:
if I had not had my seat belt on I would have been thrown from my truck and either it would have rolled over me or the other vehicles would have run me over

next time you wanna drive without your seat belt on remember this thread https://www.dieselbombers.com/web-si...ers-busta.html

I t can happen to you or anyone on this site and beleive me there was nothing I could have done to avoid the trailer:scare2:

About the seat belt crap(way off topic). If I would have been wearing mine when I rolled my Camaro in 02, I wouldn't be here now. MnDOT posted their accident numbers 4 years ago in the Minneapolis Star Trib. and it was only 4% better odds if you wore a seat belt. It should be the person's choice if they want to wear them, and also their choice if they want to belch "excessive" smoke.
It probably wasn't even excessive, more likely just a cop wanting to give a ticket for something. :c:

Why should emitting excessive smoke be a choice? It occurs through modification of the engine to emit higher-than-regulated emissions, the smoke itself is damaging to the human body and it comes with plenty of unseen emissions that are also damaging to the body or the environment, and it's physically an eyesore and possibly a dangerous visual impairment or distraction.

A world where black smoke emissions were unregulated would be a very sooty world.

It should be illegal, there should be factors working to keep us from modifying our vehicles. The factors shouldn't be the federal-level $1,000+ fines, but I have no problem with $100 fix-it tickets being handed out to weed out the irresponsible immature riff-raff and keep it from being too easy.

The same with loud exhaust. It can be very annoying and a world where it was condoned by our governments would be an incredibly noisy world. Fix-it tickets don't keep people from running loud exhaust if they really want to, but it does tend to make them act more responsibly with their loud exhaust and keeps many people on the fence about loud exhaust from going to loud exhaust.


As for seat belts and helmet laws, I don't think they should be around, but in a world where they're already firmly established I don't think they should go anywhere.

I AGREE 100% TO THIS!!!

Not quite, no jury for traffic violations, at least not here in VA.
