CAUTION: all rhd owners or soon to be!!!

So I am just gonna throw this out there just in case if anyone does NOT know this. I recently had the opportunity to do a ride along with one of my friends that works for the Ontario Police Department, which is pretty much thee city to street race in. Anyways on this ride along I got to see all of the cars that he impounded himself and guess what they were, RHD HONDAS and they are all going to be crushed into little pieces. oooooo man I got to see some BEAUTIFUL hondas and nissans that were rhd, so sad to think that they are on there way to car heaven. SOOOOO ALL RHD OWNERS AND SOON TO BE OWNERS BEWARE, half of the cars that i saw were just cruising when they got pulled over. RHD = BIG FAT RED FLAG FOR THE COPS!!!

I don't get it....

So if you're driving a RHD car, that's probable cause to pull you over and impound your car?

most times RHD cars are not registered and do not have up to date tags = getting pulled over and impounded

Sounds like it's a problem with the registration then, not with the car.

Wow, that's a pretty powerful accusation. Do you have any proof to back this up?

Cops are strange.... I had one try to write me a ticket for reckless driving for riding a motorcycle on two wheels..... He was just disturbed because there was side car attached.

FYI, in Las Vegas I would say that 6 out of 10 Civics or Ingegras that I pull over have either a stolen engine or stolen transmission in them and at least one of the VIN's has been removed or damaged on the car. Next time you go to a car meet and everyone has their hood open try to look for the engine boss w/ the serial numbers on them. Most of the time they will be filed off, ground off or painted over. Obviously I'm not talking about mom and pop, I'm talking about the late teen early 20's "street racer". If you want to belive it or not the street racing scene is why Civic's and Integra's are stolen so often. I could attack your ingorant comment on so many levels it would be sick. Then again the only people who complain about police officers are the ones who need to be delt with the most.

Always remember the motto, The nail that sticks out will get hit with the hammer.

Yep, deviating from the social norm will make you a target.... The story of my life. "Follow the leaders, pay the parking meters".

If you are going to drive RHD in Cali you might as well be smoking a blunt cuz its pretty much saying "hey pull me over". Dont get me wrong rhd to me is super sexy when its done right, especially on the fit. Its just not worth it.

fyi the cars are not parted out at all, strictly shredded or used as under cover cars during street races!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, ok, I concede! I was just trying to make a joke while making a point. What I was trying to say was that untill you work in law enforcement or with an auto insurance company and you see the end result of wreckless driving from people street racing on public roads or people who intentionally strip their cars, sell the parts then burn the frame only to attempt to report the car stolen, don't be too quick to judge that all cops want to do is give people a hard time. I have never in my career put on my uniform and said to myself, "I'm going to go be a dick to someone today".
