ok. so here i was cruising on I-5 down south. so im passing some cars and suddenly i see a patrol car flashing its lights behind me and i was like... damn man.. never got pulled over before. there was a female officer that came up and told me i was doing roughly 80 in 65. i give her my license and registration. then pissed off at myself cuz i liked to keep my record clean. anyways, i tell her that im stationed in lemoore and stuff and that i'm driving down to LA to see my family. she smiled and told me that she wont cite me for speeding but the smoked taillights and the windshield strip got to go + i'll need to install the damn front license plate. i've asked her questions cuz i didnt know whats next. and she told me that all i gotta do is show up at the CHP and pay like $10 to dismiss the case, and ofcourse imma have to put my stock tails and 'install' the license plate. i really dont want to get rid of the windshield strip cuz it protects my eyes from the sun glare. i'll have to talk to them about that. maybe i can just trim it or something. anyways, she was nice and stuff. im glad i wont be fined for speeding or anything else. i thought it'd be worse than that. what u guys think? any advices before i go to CHP office?

You can leave the tint strip on your windshield as long as it is less than 6". As far as the tinted tails, they are legal to have as long as you leave the red reflector part showing. The front plate, yeah, ur supposed to have it on, but who really does? I know I dont.

maybe we can go in together. I have a fix it for my headlights. I haven't gotten it cleared yet.

my deadline is in march. its interesting how she said she wont cite me on speeding even though she wrote my speed (80mph) and the limit (65mph) on the ticket. do u guys think i'll get hammered when i go to take care of this?

you lucky son-of-a-b*tch....
they NEVER let me go.

yeah the strip you can just trim. its like 4-6" or something. the front plate i would just put on, for me its not worth getting a ticket over.

 
Rep Power: 276

^^ what do u mean they never let u go? yea, about the speed do u think they'll hammer me at the CHP office, cuz its written on the ticket.. yea. im going to take care of this before march, so i got time.

When I was pulled over for speeding and let go with only a fix-it ticket, the officer still wrote my speed on the ticket but all I had to pay was the $10 fee for the fix-it.

Don't go to court because they charge you for the inspection on top of the $10.
If you go to a CHP station, they will inspect it for free.

<--- clean record, military ID helps

 
Rep Power: 276

i do have a military id, dude. it dont help all the time.

 
Rep Power: 276

do u think if i'd go to a CHP station and showed my military id that they'd just let me go without anything?

 
Rep Power: 489

bad luck??? I'd call that great luck!

 
Rep Power: 276

still didnt get the answer on my question.

 
Rep Power: 276

i know it might be, but i wont have clean record anymore, right?

 
Rep Power: 276

right on

 
Rep Power: 393

You will still have a clean record if you get those issues taken care of. I have gotten many fix-it's and my record is still clean, don't worry.

Where can I find a CHP station? haha

 
Rep Power: 276

i didnt know that. thats cool. i guess the fact that i told her i was in the military saved my *** from the speeding ticket. thanks for letting me know about that. heres the link where u can find the CHP stations in CA: http://www.laalmanac.com/crime/cr66b.htm

 
Rep Power: 393

You guys don't think they will look at other things on my car while I'm there besides what I got a ticket for correct?... haha

 
Rep Power: 276

Female officers seem to be way more understanding
Maybe u can get a doctors note about the strip and how it
protects your eyes oir maybe u can trim it

 
Rep Power: 276

yeah. i think she liked me though lol. regarding the doctor: i will have to pay one a visit lol. anyways, if that wont work i will have to trim it from 10" to 6" (the strip has 5% visibility).
