Top Reasons For Being Pulled Over???
 

Have heard the obvious with other cars.... speeding, tint, etc. What are the top Z reasons for getting stopped?

Breaking the law in some manner.

Exhaust....
 

My neighbor has an aftermarket exhaust. Nothing too loud and there was a cop in the neighborhood and as soon as he left his driveway he was stopped. Let him go but stopped him for it.

Never knew this was an issue that was enforced but there must be some community sound ordinance that he violated.... Again it wasn't too loud sounding to me. Louder than stock of course but I have heard much louder.

No front license plate :)

No front license plate is the only reason I've ever been pulled over in the Z. *knocks on wood* :bowdown:

:iagree:

I've yet to get pulled over in the Z (jinxing myself) but with my prior cars, this was the #1 reason.

I wasn't technically pulled over, but a cop that checks the area where I work, saw me in the morning and followed me until I parked, just to ask me what my Vanity plate meant. He said he's seen my car several times and always wondered what it meant (it was my social media profile). Very nice guy.

In my 3+ months of ownership, no "officer friendly" incidents yet (Waze don't fail me now!). I've had an officer follow me in highway traffic, changing lanes etc to stay behind me.

For prior vehicles: all for exceeding the speed limit with one exception: One car I bought the dealership put the wrong year on the temp tag (it was bought end of year, so not that hard of a mistake to make) and I got pulled over to check on the tag.

Georgia has tight limits on tinting unless you've got a medical reason like Lupus. Honestly I'm not certain about the noise ordinances.

Whew!! That's a good one! I knew a guy who had a wide body kit on a MR2 Spyder and he was stopped because the cop was curious about the car.

Only one stop so far. Over the speed limit. Lectured and let go with a verbal warning. I asked if they were going to step up patrols, cause I was tired of people trying to run over my ***. It's a work zone, and people regularly run 20 or more over posted speeds. I was only running about 7 over.

there's nothing special about the Z that gets it pulled over any more than any other sports car

don't drive like an idiot or add any special stuff to the outside that draws attention (i.e. a bigass wing), and comply with your local license plate requirements

cops are looking for:
1) stuff that draws their attention, like aforementioned bad driving, speeding, etc
2) a reason to stop someone they're already going to stop, in which case . . . ur getting stopped no matter what car you drive

I was stopped by a young cop during a blizzard and he asked me if I should be driving in the snow with a sports car....all I had to do was show him my snow tires and he just laughed....he said good luck and don't crash...:driving:

No close encounters of the police kind in this Z (yet) - but I got pulled over two different times in my old 300ZX TT back in the 90's "just to make sure I actually owned it" :)

Once I pulled myself over... Same 300ZX TT, also back in the 90's: I was goofing off with some Porsche at like 2am on highway 36 between Boulder and Denver, at ludicrous speed, when I noticed rollers WAAAAAAY back there - like a couple of miles back there...

The Porsche took off and I pulled over to wait for the hammer... The officer had no idea how fast I was actually going, but knew it was too damn fast - but being as I was at least pretending to be a responsible adult he let me off with a warning. :)

My AL Priority "Parking Sensors" saved me from being pulled over this morning =)

Not a Z but for me Ive been hit up 3x for my exhaust
