Default Anyone else been stopped by VOSA?

Got pulled over by VOSA today for a check 'of my cars roadworthyness.' This basically involved two chaps looking at my tyres and lights. Well worth it!!! LOL. Wonder if VOSA need anyone else as even i'm qualified to do that . Thought or VOSA done at the roadside was tank dipping commercials for using cherry. This happened to any one else?

I got pulled by the rozzers for window tints. They had a guy from vosa with them, and he put a prohibition order on my car, basically banning it from the road until the tints were removed!

I got stopped driving my daughters Nova 1.2 a while back. Confident they'd find nothing wrong I sat chilling till they went ballistic at the emissions they got on their screen They said they were the highest they'd ever seen, when they eventually told me the figure I calmy said, 'Is that all, my Rover won't even run smooth that low'
They weren't keen to let me go but they did and I tuned it that aftrernoon

I just thought what a waste of time!! For all they knew my brake discs could of resembled a couple of digestives, my shocks coulda been fucked and for all they knew the car might not of even had a MOT on it as no back ground checks were made. What were they, just bored or something! lol
