Arcangel · 03-11-2009, 10:24 PM

I dont give a damn what NJ says Im not putting my front plate on thats what I have a permanent metal family PBA card for! OH and NJ is right behind Cali in the Lameness!!

It's a $25.00 fix it ticket! It's no problem, unless-a cop needs his ticket quota!
Then he will definitely pull you over!

yea my brother has had his vette no front license 3 years no ticket so I'm pretty sure it wont be a headache

My Z has no front plate and the cops don't look at me. But my friends 240sx gets pulled over almost every time. I don't get it.

tags are not sent to recipients certified return receipt, therefore, the state does not really know if you have received them. you could get away with just driving with the temp sticker on the window for quite some time. when i bought my 03 350z i did this for quite a while. if any cams take pictures of your car as you accidently drive through yellow lights they have no real clue where to send tickets (toll roads)etc.....one of the other attorneys i work with had just purchsed a vette at the same time and swore he would never tag his car. i eventually put the rear tag on and got away with no fronts for a couple of years. on my way to church they finally got me for the fix it ticket for the front... good luck

What do I do if I get a "fix-it" ticket?

If a police officer gives you a "fix-it" ticket on a "Notice to Appear," the "yes" box will be checked below "Correctable Violation" on the front of the ticket. The police can give you another ticket if you don't fix the problem immediately.

When you fix the problem, get an authorized person to sign the "Certificate of Correction" part of your ticket.

Take the proof of correction to the court and pay the dismissal fee before the deadline. You can check your ticket or contact the court to see if the court accepts proof of correction by mail.

The court will then dismiss your case and it won't go on your record.

Why do we (CA)have to have a front plate any way?

Exactly! Just put em up! I got pulled over before for not having front license plate. I guess, I just got lucky because the cop let me go. It happened during the time I was taking photo of my WRX.

It doesn't look good, but it's really not worth spending time, unnecessarily, getting pulled over when it could easily be avoided.

That just about sums up how Americans lost America to the government.

Its so lazy cops can write you a ticket from the front and not have to walk ALL the way to the back to get the plate info.

I havent had a front plate on my Z for years and years and years. Have I gotten fix it tickets? a few. Mostly from those jerks at the San Francisco department of parking and traffic. I just throw the front plate on, get it signed off, and then take off the plate. done.

So as long as you get signed off, the whole fix-it ticket doesn't go on your record?

Also, is there anyway I can keep my car registered to Oklahoma even I move back to California? Front plates aren't required and a tint law is virtually nonexistant in OK. :/

if you are going to live in California, you have to get your license plates changed to CA ones. i think you are required to do so within in first 3 months.
