I have heard that the PD are up to the same sort of thing up here in the North. The PD's idea on this one is to ratchet the pressure up. Rding with illegal zorsts in no big deal crime wise but riding without insurance is far more serious and likely to cause you longer term grief. They know very well that if you get a rectification notice, you get it sorted then put the loud cans straight back on, bit of hassle but thats all. If you can be done for no insurance then its more serious and insurance companies take a very dim view as well. Far more hassle and insurance problems. I would be very interested to know what happens if you have told your ins company about non legal pipes and PD try to stir it up. Hence the can companies doing lots of Road legal cans with removable baffles. Ray |
