the way i look at it, legal dosnt really matter as long as your not going extreme. 15 to 20 % tints, nice drop, 4 inches or so sine you dont want to do bags. make it look supah hott, oh and remember a stereo dosnt have to blare all the time, but its always good to have the option. at least get some headlights

In September I got pulled over in my beater Contour when I was driving it to the scrap yard. The car looked fine,except it was green with a dented purple fender and purple hood and steel rims and no muffler,lol,but on the inside,it was all ripped apart with tons of scrap parts and junk and garbage all inside.

My dad was infront of me in his car as I was following him,and we went through an intersection and there was a police car making a left turn towards me,and I glanced over at the cop thinkinf nothing of it.

2 mins later,red and white cherries behind me and I was like wtf,I wasn't speeding or anything,so I pull over. My window crank was broken so I couldn't roll my window down so I took off my seatbelt and opened my door and started to get out and the cop was like "Hold it right there! Don't move. Stay in your vehicle!" I was like holy crap,meanwhile my dad has stopped infront of me and gets out the cop yells at him "Don't move. Who are you?" and my dad says "I'm his dad" and points at me and the cop looks at me and asks "is he?" and I'm like "yeah..." . So then the cop tells him to get back in his car and then the cop looks at me and I look at him and I greet him and he's like "Any reason you looked at me kinda funny back there going through that intersection?" I laughed and said "well look at the piece of crap I'm driving,I figured you'd probably pull me over for driving an unsafe heap of junk'...ironically we're pulled over right at the front entrance of the junkyard too,lol...

Anyways,the cop asks me if it's my car of if it's stolen and I said it's mine and gave him the registration,but the car is in my mom's name,so he's like "so you're sure this is your car,Kathryn?" and then I laughed and told him it's my mom's name and gave him my licence and after bugging me with stupid questions for a couple mins he just let me go and my dad comes up to me after the cop left and he's like "what the hell was all that about?" and I burst out laughing and said "I looked at him funny."

i don't think there is going to be a set list of rules, as each province/city/town/region/county/municipality will all have certain rules that are enforced differently.

and the whole motor vehicle act is huge

i know that the rules change driving 100km up island

one of the minitruckin issues from recent months has a big list of laws by state in it.

It is illegal, but why do you think it takes the cop 20 minutes to come up and talk to you? To find some bullshit law that he can "pretend" was the reasson why he pulled U over.

I was pulled over one evening for "driving with undue care"??????????WTF?
He said I was too low to make an emergency manuver(sp). I was barely tuckin tire and driving less than the speed limit. Bam, 6 points and a $300ish fine. Morale of the story is if they wanna F you, lube it up first so it hurts less.
