Can you get a ticket for...

[dtmcnamara]

Ok so allegedly i am in some trouble with Gwinnett. The cop was talking to my mom and said that they were going to impound my car for the tint thats too dark, which is like 2000 years old, and because i do not have a horn on my car....

Can you get a damn ticket for not having a horn? I mean come on. I have the horn I just dont have a button to push it with because the air bag went off in the truck...


Anyone know?

THANKS

Can you get a damn ticket for not having a horn?

Technically yes. Later, QD.

[dtmcnamara]

Technically yes. Later, QD.

really. thats honestly a new one to me

[Nemesis]

If the car would fail a state vehicle inspection then yes.

If the car would fail a state vehicle inspection then yes.

And a non-working horn will cause you to fail emissions. Later, QD.

how? i have passed emissions last 2 times.

[Nittanys1]

because they didnt test to see if the horn worked...they just assumed it did...

[ISAtlanta300]

Not having a horn is akin to a brake light being out, or your blinkers not working, etc.... so I would say yes...

[dtmcnamara]

hummm....o well. they can take the truck. its a POS anyways. i dont even think i could sell the damn thing.

[BKgen®]

here's what you do about the horn:

step 1 - buy and install train horn/compressor.

step 2 - tell cop to stand in front of car and tell you if it's loud enough.

step 3 - laugh your ass off. (and/or RUN)

i've always wanted those.. they are expensive as hell now

[IOnlyLookStock]

They did for like a month or two, and then brought them back. So everyone went and got 5%, and then it was illegal again. I just said Fuck it and kept mine on, Never got pulled over.

[BuBBa DRiFT]

i got pulled over by a cop, he saw my hornless wheel and asked me if i thought it was legal, i told him i rev my motor to anyone who gets in my way, he just laughed and gave me a tailight warning

[dtmcnamara]

well right now the cops are just trying to bust my balls for anything and everything that I didnt do. and because they have nothing on me they are just nit picking everything else they can to make my life miserable....o well I am just going to get me a little red button and drill a hole and mount it to the steering wheel....

Here is a guide to keep you from getting a ticket like that:

You guys have no idea how much fun Train horns are. I paid like 165 for my kit shipped and it was worth every single penny. I literealy cried I was laughing so hard the first time I got my friends with it.
Totaly worth the money.
This is the kit I have

Not in the state if GA. The only way you can fail an emission test for a safety related problem, is on a 95' and older, which requires a dyno test. If there is anything about the vehicle that the inspector feels to be unsafe to test it, (fuel leak, flat/ odd sized tire on the drive axle, etc..) he/she can fail it. An emissions test has nothing to do with vehicle safety features. It is not a vehicle safety inspection, it is an EMISSION inspection. But don't take my word for it. Call the Clean air force, and find out for yourself. 800.449.2471

[quickdodge®]

But don't take my word for it.

You ought to know I won't do that. You've been shown wrong on a few occasions. This one included. Later, QD.

[silversol]

Technically i police officer can wright you up for anything they want. maybe it will hold up in court maybe not.

[kwillsksu]

i think i remember a cop saying that any modifcations from stock done to a vehicle is technically illegal....but dont quote me it may not be true...

[RandomGuy]

You sure you're right? got a source? I'm pretty sure that emissions inspections only test the EMISSIONS output of the car to see if its within the DOT legal spec. I don't even have a horn button on the starion.


I have however done a salvage inspection on a car of mine (and this is where they tested everything, like turn signals, horn, wipers, etc)

Maybe your age caused you to get a little bout of alzheimers and get the old mixaroo.

maybe in california, definitely not here.

[dtmcnamara]

if this was true then cop cars would be "illegal"....but o well they all lie anyways.


I had a cop straight up tell me he had pictures of me on my motorcycle running from the cops. told my parents that there was a warrant out for my arrest and that I was going to jail for a few weeks because of this.

Ends up all he had was a picture of my motorcycle in the garage. no case or warrant out for my arrest at all...everything was dropped because it wasnt even me, dumb ba$tard$...

Thats absolutely rediculous, don't listen to him. I hope I don't get pulled over for my aftermarket windshield wipers!

[quickdodge®]

don't listen to him.

Why? It's the truth. Later, QD.

[ksniperfox]

And a non-working horn will cause you to fail emissions. Later, QD.

not in this state.

im GA certified inspector..

[Vayda]

I'm getting a new horn soon, you can have my old one.

Of course you would be stuck with a horn from a Hyundai accent...

Honestly the ticket would probably be less embarrassing.

What does my age have to do with anything. It is so. I've been right there on many occasions as they actually do reach in and test the horn. The horn is a safety feature.

maybe in california, definitely not here.

Yes here.

God Damn you're an idiot.

Don't use my name in vain you spineless fucck. Later, QD.

[quickdodge®]

That's been my understanding. Why would they test the horn if it isn't so.

And I'll definitely take your word over someone that has an obvious deficiency in grammar and basic educational skills...InIt2LoseItFucckBoy. Later, QD.

[ksniperfox]

maybe they like honking the big one?



i am aware that other states have 'safety inspections' where they would test the horn. they may or may not have emissions testing in addition to that, i do not know. however, if they rolled it all into 1 big test, it would be easy to think that testing the horn is part of the inspection. however, since only emissions testing is required in GA, we have no need to reach in and honk..

if i needed something i would honk at the techs in the main building so they would come to where i am and help me..

[Init2winit]

The horn is a safety feature.

And what does that have to do with the emissions of a vehicle? Not a ****ing thing.

Don't use my name in vain you spineless fucck. Later, QD.

Would you rather my call you a god damn moron instead? Or how about god damn wigger? Yeah, that more suites you right there.

Gotcha. I don't know why they would do that then. This year is my first year ever dealing with emissions. And I was told by the guy that did mine that it was a violation. I figured I could trust him. Guess I need to go elsewhere. Lolol. Later, QD.

[quickdodge®]

Who said anything about just emissions. I was also speaking on safety. Check out Bill Cosby when he did Reading Rainbow sometime. Not only will you get a few good laughs, you might also learn English and reading comprehension. It'll help you in your quest to rise from the level of IDIOT.

Would you rather my call you a god damn moron instead? Or how about god damn wigger?

You don't refer to your God like that, whore. You will respect me and you will resume sucking my fuccking dicck.

Yeah, that more suites you right there.

I'm not a fuccking hotel or office building you dumbass. How the hail can you call a genius an idiot or moron when you yourself can't even spell?

Lolol @ you being a pornographer......you couldn't even get your hand wet if you held it under running water. Not only is the joke on you, but the joke IS you. Later, QD.
