In today’s video, we break it down as to what a policeman really looks for on your car that would give them reason to want to pull you over on the side of the road, even if you're driving responsibly.

This video answers perfectly why you might get stopped by a policeman, but more importantly why they have chosen to pull you over, hopefully you get some value from this video, as i for one have learned lots too! Its not just modified cars that policeman choose to pull over, i was lucky enough to join in on a ride along the other day and videos coming soon should bring this to light!

Brief message from Owen.

When I was younger I had many cars and all were modified in some way, some more than others. I’ve had many RSs including S1 Escort RST, Fiesta RSTs, RS Cosworths, R5 GT Turbos, Subaru Imprezas, Astra GTE, Golf GTIs, Mk1 and Mk2 Focus RS and many more.

The car I got stopped in more than any was a Red Fiesta RS Turbo. Pretty standard looking from the outside but running a stage 2 tune (which was quick for one of those!), lowered etc. I could never understand why I got stopped so much in that car.
Today of course I understand more the reasons why Police would stop a car and I’m hoping that this video may help you understand why sometimes you get stopped and what I’d be looking at on your car and why.
In many cases it is the manner of driving that attracts our attention but in some cases it’s the car.

Police in England and Wales can stop any vehicle to establish whether that car is legally on the road and/or to establish whether the driver is legally allowed to drive the vehicle. It’s a common myth that you have to have committed an offence before you can be stopped, you don’t.
I can only advise you on this and it’s up to you whether you heed the advice. If you do it may stop you being stopped although some officers may see things in different ways so it’s no guarantee. This is my perspective. I have no ulterior motive in doing these videos, they are for your benefit so I’m not hiding anything or purposely misleading you.
Hopefully these videos help you understand why we do what we do as well. It’s about keeping all road users as safe as possible and reducing death on our roads.
If you are stopped then being polite and honest about your mods really helps and may speed up the process significantly.
We have so many more videos planned including:

JDM with my friend Paul Wiffin from Whifbitz and his Supra
Drink and Drugs - your questions answered on CBD, prescription drugs etc.
Biker Down - what would you do if you came across or were involved in a serious RTC?

Keep safe
