For getting pulled with a Stubby can?....

Just a fine or should I expect points if they take a good look at it? It's very loud Twisted Evil

I don;t think you can get points, probably just a rectification notice and maybe a fine.

Lovely, I'll pull the clutch in and hope for the best in that case!

If you get pulled, say "I decline the road side test and choose to exercise my right to postpone the test until a more convenient time" and watch their bald heads go red as their brains overheat.

If a police officer wants to test your vehicle you can defer the roadside test.......problem is with that is if the officer believes that the defect will cause danger to any person / vehicle then they can refuse to defer the test. Not quite sure how an exhaust would cause danger......well apart from to peoples eardrums......loophole closed.

Better just to not be a smart arse and then get away with a verbal warning.

Hi

Probably a rectification notice. Possibly a fixed penalty. If they are feeling nasty then they will summons you for the same offence to maximise the fine and costs they can charge, plus add the victims surcharge (so potentially a several hundred pound fine).

If it is that noisy then they could be sneaky and use a section 59 (asbo), so the next time they see you they can confiscate the bike until you pay up to get it back.

All the best

Ouch....

I think I'll just be smart and let them decide what they want to do.

Being an arse is just going to wind them up.

It would have to be REALLY loud for them to pull you... I have no baffle and it reverberates like a bastard at 3k rpm through town and they don't bother looking twice.

The roadside tests/deferring part only comes into effect if they want to have the vehicle examined to find faults/offences, if there is an obvious fault or they pull you for something particular there's no need to use it you just get done for it.
