Depends on the laws in your area. If you were hauling a heavy load, with a diesel, I am not entirely sure what the cops expect...... perfectly clean exhaust? I would fight it, just on general principles...... but, that's just me.

Sounds like your truck should be impounded and your license revoked.

even if you fight it and win (which you likely will), you get to pay court costs, which is the majority of the citation, I would wager.. It's all about the $$, my man.. Do you really think a cop takes 'dumping smoke' personally? If he does, he needs a life.. I'd guess it more likely that he pulled you because he has an expectation to write X number of tickets, and he is looking for a way to justify it to himself, so he works himself up to be all angry like..

go ahead and make your contribution to the state, so somebody who chooses not to work for it can watch tv on a 52" LCD, and deal with it.. Sucks, huh?

Just pay the fine.
You'll pay for it some way or another.

And don't dump so much smoke.

Wrong place at the right time for you.

It was prolly easier for him to pull over a truck that is smoking while pulling onto the highway rather than trying to catch somebody doing 80.
*EDIT*
It's RECORD!!! Not REQUIRED!!!!


<- grammar and spelling ****.
