Got a ticket after 5 days of owning my car

sole cal · 12-28-2009, 12:57 AM

So I picked up my exhaust and it was slightly too big for the inside of my car, pipes were hanging out of the front passenger window (1-2 feet out). I was driving in the right lane on the highway when I see the sirens. They gave me a ticket for having the pipes out of my car. Anyone know how much a fine like this is and if its mandatory to go to court?

Help me out, first ticket

What an a**hole cop. I see people all the time with stuff tied to their cars and sticking out of trunks.

did you have red tags attached at the end?

sole cal · 12-28-2009, 03:33 AM

nah no red tags, is that what makes it legal? i had no intention of getting pulled over whatsoever, im reallly pissed. i see this around all the time

khoda355 · 12-28-2009, 03:36 AM

i think u need the red tag... makes sense to me.

khoda355 · 12-28-2009, 03:37 AM

but still STUPID!!!

m3pare · 12-28-2009, 03:41 AM

yeah, i'm pretty sure you would've been fine with red tags attached. i believe they're needed if cargo extends past 1 foot beyond the vehicle's limits. i agree it was an asshole move though, as you were on the very right lane on the highway.

sole cal · 12-28-2009, 03:43 AM

Anyone know if this will make my insurance increase?

khoda355 · 12-28-2009, 03:47 AM

i think its a moving violation? right?

khoda355 · 12-28-2009, 03:47 AM

no no no, i dont think it is... think about it some more seems like it is just going to be a fine.... really still stupid, sorry bro.

its not going to be reported to the DMV. (Which will report it to your insurance company) Just pay the fine and it should be over. You never got a "fix-it" ticket? Very similar liking

No warning?!? Ass cop prob had to fill his quota but I hate stupid tickets like that
