GF just got a fix it ticket for something that isn't broken: advice
As the title says...I just got a phone call from my GF who just got a fix it ticket for her taillights being broken. Problem is they aren't actually broken she just did not have her lights on so they weren't on when the cop pulled her over. The cop and her didn't realize that that was the real problem and so the cop wrote her a fix it ticket to get her taillights fixed.
So she calls me and asks, what do I do?
And since I'm not really sure what you would do in this kind of situation I'm asking all of you on what you should do.

Why not just call the station tomorrow, ask to speak with the Cop that pulled her over. Then explain the situation and set up a time to meet and have it signed off by him personally, or torn up and thrown away.

Guess how much the ticket is if they cite you for driving with your lights off. That's a moving violation. She scored, just have her go to CHP, say "Look, my lights work" and have them sign it off. Pay the $10-$15, go about your day

Not a bad idea about going to the cop station and talking to the cop and have him tear it up or whatev. I think I'll have her do that.
Yea she is really lucky the cop didnt notice that she just was driving without her lights on. Luckily, she was only driving up the street to her friends house and not on the main road or anything where could have been worse.
Just a simple mistake.
