So I mentioned this a couple times but a couple months ago I got a ticket for tinted windows, no front plates, and smog control device (BOV and Accessport).

When I got the ticket in the mail, I only had fixits for the tint and plates and I didn't have to go to the state ref, but that $hit was $523 (probably from the smog business).

Anyways I went to court and saw the judge. I showed the sheriff what I got signed off and the judge adjusted my fine to only $65.00!!!!!!!

It was a long *** process but all worth it in the end!!!!

 

Hey there,

Umm Im just a little bit confused about why you are thanking the courthouse? You still had to pay a $65 fine and had to take the time to show up in person. Is it because you didnt get everything signed off before the due date? I was in your shoes recently, as last month I had to get 2 fix-it tickets signed off... (no front plate and broken left front headlamp) but I only had to a pay $10 fine. I simply mailed my proof of corrections + $10 to the "Kern County Superior Court"

 

Hell yeah! That happened to me too when I got some fix it tix... My fine went from like $380 to $50 or something in that ballpark... I was so happy! When I saw that they wanted almost $400 for exhaust and clear corner lights, I nearly shat myself.

 

Seeing the judge will almost always reduce a fine unless it's over 100 mph speeding then they can actually charge you for wreckless driving on top of speeding

 

and btw in 2009 fix-it's will be 25 instead of 10, and traffic school 49 instead of 25, estimated 280 million in increased profit

 

Where did you originally get pulled over at?

 

yesterday i went to court for 2 state refs, no front plates, failure to comply, no insurance paper work, and i only ended up paying 60 dollars for everything. all the violations were dismissed because i had all the paper work. the 2 state ref was 600 each and the failure to comply was a good 900 dolllars...

 

how did you get busted on the accessport? i never really drive with it plugged in

 

even if you do drive with it plugged in, there is no reason to assume that it is changing emissions in any way. You could be running a married stock mode map

Congrats on your success!!

 

i dont get the whole accessport thing.

you can mod your chip, then take it out and still drive on the new map?

 

all you do with your accessport is flash your current ecu with a stage 1,2 or protune it. once its done flashing remove and let it sit in a very dark area for months to come. and you can drive on the new map.

 

Yea most of the time. I was talking to my barber last night and he told me he went to trial and lost for running a red light and actually got an increased fine (probably from court fees er sumthin)

In my driveway haha

Yea I had it on that day because I was showing my friend all its uses. Hahha he still ended up getting one even though I got a ticket for it

 

Im just happy I got my fine reduced $400. I got everything signed off that showed as fixit. The smog thing didnt show up as a fixit so I didnt get that signed off. Im also grateful I didnt have to go to a state ref!

 

Driveway, wtf?!

If I feel like I'm in danger of being pulled over/it actually happens...I switch the AP over to monitoring fuel economy. "Yes officer, I use this device to drive efficiently & save fuel".

 

^^^ He was a motorcycle cop, his whole job is to go around and give a bunch of tickets. He probably dealt with a few subies before cuz the first thing he asked me was what was plugged in under my steering wheel. I was surprised he saw it cuz the wires tucked in behind the panels n stuff.
