I'm starting to think my twingo attracts too much attention.

I'm starting to think my twingo attracts too much attention.
The past 2 days I have been pulled over twice by the police and had 2 fat parking tickets! I don't know whether its down to my driving or the fact that the tinted windows, loud exhaust and out there rims are attracting the drug dealer looks.
First of all 2 police motorbikes pulled me over for driving slightly faster than I should be around corners but luckily I had good enough chat to get off with a little slap on the wrist. My two parking tickets were within 2 hours of each other in separate areas. And the last police pull over was down do the officer thinking something was dodgey, but it clearly wasn't, when he realised I'm a well spoken 20 year old he seemed to immediately regret pointlessly stopping me and apologised. hopefully my girlfriend will calm me down later with some dinner, alcohol and...... cuddles haha

It's because they're jealous

Twingo RS is pretty rare to see (even more in Belgium, you're more likely to find an exotic super car) and they're quite catchy for the eye if you do run into one.

Id put it down to everything in your OP .

Definatly not helping yourself.

Never been pulled over in the 5 years ive been driving.

I've been asked to pull over during a police control on the highway because they thought the blue rings inside the Wind headlights was something I modded (which it isn't) but never been pulled over by the Po-Po whilst they were driving behind me or something.

Parking tickets are your own fault really if you park somewhere you shouldn't you run the risk of paying the price for it unfortunately and as for being pulled over by 5-0 maybe they were told to look out for a little renault and they saw yours and thought they pull you?

I've only been pulled once in mine but that's because I tried to overtake an unmarked beamer at 85-90mph on a 60mph road didn't get a ticket for it though so that was a mega bonus haha I was so gutted but then when the ticket never came through I was well chuffed

yeah to be fair I prefer not to pay for pay and display, did sort of deserve one of the tickets! the other one I parked on a small driveway that no one has ever got a ticket parking on but today they decided I parked too much on the path and so it was a 'hazard'. Haha that's pretty good luck you've got there!

You can't do the 'time' don't do the 'crime'.

I got pulled for having my fogs on. On the M25 at Dartford. In thick fog at 6:30am.

I genuinely thought it was a wind up!

Also for no insurance, when I did have it!

And the other, the only ticket I've ever received was for driving down a road you're only allowed to be on if you're a blue badge holder (I confused the sign for only allowed to PARK and I collected someone). The police officer didn't find it funny when I corrected him:

Him (writing a ticket) "It's a Renault"
Me "Renaultsport actually"
Him "in white"
Me "Black and White ID pack actually, I paid extra for that"

I accepted my £30 and made my mates girlfriend pay it as I was picking her up in the first place and she decided on the where

haha if you're getting a ticket anyway you might as well be a knob about it

:lol: I wouldn't of said that if I didn't think he was cool with it, nice cop with a good bit of banter. Only police office I've dealt with that I've not liked was the one on the M25. AS IT WAS CLEARLY (or rather not) HEAVY FOG!

Essex police are complete and utter tool's

I was pulled over 2 days after I got my twingo because the police man had never seen one before and wanted to know a bit about it lol

I've had that when it was quiet and they were bored

 

[DanPaul7]

Never been pulled or gotten parking tickets because i'm a good boy
Had a few cops stalking me recently though, probably curious as to what car it was though since they aren't exactly common. I've seen one pre facelift RS and i'm yet to see the facelift.

 

[Bones]

Had a white 200, 133 gordini and a LY R26, not been pulled once!

To say that you

Prefer not to pay for pay and display

you're asking for a ticket...

OP shows that they pulled you for feeling maybe you were driving erratic

Not been pulled in the Twingo, i've had two officers knock on my window when i was sat in a car park to ask me about it

Jra3d aren't you an officer of the law?

 

[waitey]

Jra3d aren't you an officer of the law?

That he is.

Although I imagine he drives sensibly when on duty as he seems to like going balls out in most corners in his twingo. :lol:

Been driving nearly 3 years and I've never been pulled. Been followed by a jammer once all the way home nearly but they changed their mind when I got to the bottom of my street. I thought the 133 would attract a bit of a attention though due to it being rare.
