$300 Mud Flaps

[SD4runner]

Just a heads up to you guys.

I did not know that I had to appear in court for a fix it ticket. Well, I got a letter in the mail last week saying that my license had been suspended and that I owed $433 due to a mud flap violation. They were 2" too small. So, I went to court today.. 3 hours later I got my mud flap violation dismissed (since I had gotten it checked off), but, then they tagged me with a $300 fine for not appearing in court that was stated on my ticket! Well, I had no idea I needed to appear in court. I have never gotten a fix it ticket or a ticket before, so I guess its just my warm welcome to the wonderful world of law enforcement.

Just a warning to anyone

that's what you get for being an environmentalist......:hillbill:

i thought suv's didn't need flaps and only pickups. regardless if they dismissed the ticket then shouldn't that mean you didn't need to go to court cuz it wasn't a valid ticket to begin with? i'd try to fight that if possible.

bummer

I thought a fix it ticket was nothing once the problem was taken care of and checked off. (Assuming the problem was fixed and checked off by a certain date)

[reggie 00]

Nope you have to go in.

I don't know i just looked it up on the court self help site.

I have used it for other things too, it is usually pretty helpful.

Back in the day i was fortunate enough to only get ordinary tickets, you know 88 in a 55 type a thing..

LOL! Thats the first thing they think when they see me rolling down the road with my "monster truck". :D :shake:

Dude, I have been targeted 2 times by those environmental terrorists. One time they drilled each tires sidewalls with 3" drywall screws. The other time I had tree sap on my windshield saying "Guzzler". Then I think to myself... They are just probably 18 year old douche bags with nothing else better to do than think they understand anything. I bet their 73 VW bus puts out more emissions than my 4runner. Fags.

when you get a ticket, even a fix it ticket, you sign off that you promise to appear in court

Ok, remind me not to live in Kalifornia......that is just an outright cash grab. :gay:

Yeah, I just learned that one a little too late.

Yes, please stay out of California, we have enough kooks living here now a days!!! Not to say your a kook, but, there are way too many dumb *gratuitous expletive removed* moving here. :)

Hahaha, you guys can have your "kooks" and if I see any I'll be sure to give them good directions because they're obviously lost on their way to Cali......they don't seem to last through a cold winter so I'm fine right where I am sans "fix it" tickets and all. :tongueout:

[SD4runner]

Nonoo... I dont want any more kooks here. Its f'ing ridiculous. Thats the other problem... they call it Cali. That pisses me off for whatever reason.

Its like its some f'ing tour or someting. people come here, crowd up the streets and don't respect the locals and land.

I saw a truck load of douche bag dudes with that soap crap on their window "Cali Bound"... I was ready to go over there and rub wax on their windshield.."GO HOME KOOKS!!" But, yeah, I end up taking a few deep breaths and relaxed, and just chucked a few rocks instead.

Nevermind, i dont know what Im talking about..

He did fix it, read his first post better.
the fine was for failure to appear.

[Peter]

Relax Jimbo...
I don't know if you see it but you're "reading" off as kind of a jerk.

Jamie:
Just 'cause you're jealous...
(yeah I know it's weak. I got nothing.)
