Should I be concerned?

[maddog-uk]

I know there have been previous postings on this but I wanted to ask some London based police the same question. Drove through the city (ie the square mile) in the Tamora. Went through the "ring of steel" check point and there was a BiB crossing the road. At that unfortunate moment my exhaust was snapping and crackling. I heard him get on the radio about the car. Not sure what he was asking. I was some what concerned! The car does make quite a racket, but I drove extremly cautiously for the rest of the journey through the city. Should I be worried about my exhaust noise?

dont worry about it,im sure if there was a problem then you would have been tugged not much further on down the road.

I think if anything they would flag your car for a tug when it is next PNC checked. (Aditional Vehicle Markers) or AV check.

What does that mean? The car is TVR throughout, no other parts on it.

Means notes that have been added by the police.... such as seen in an area hanging around areas where there has been crime or failed to stop or like you.. noisy exhaust stop and check. Nothing serios merely a stop and check or stop and obtain driver details etc.

More likely he was radioing his mates down the road/in the control centre telling to take a look at the tasty motor which had just passed by. They would have stopped you if there was anything they wanted to check - this is after all the 1sq mile in the UK where there is sufficient Policing
