Yeah they're pretty F-ing mean when it comes to tint.

If the cop doesn't show up when you go to court you stand a good chance.

Cops get 3 tries to make it to court. They schedule all their court-appearances for that officer on one day. I would obviously lose the case, pay the fine AND court-cost, AND probably be forced to remove the tint under threat of further harassment.

I'll just pay the fine.

Traffic court varies from state to state. In my state, you're a fool if you don't go. The worst that will happen is that a judge will lower the fine by court cost, so you're no worse off. I've seen them decrease the number of points, give Probation Before Judgment, and throw the case out if the officer isn't there on the first appearance. Granted, if you reschedule your court date, the officer is allowed to miss.

My mom got a speeding ticket and rescheduled the court date. On the rescheduled date, the officer didn't show up so it was thrown out. How long do accidents/tickets stay on your record and affect your insurance? I have a ticket from 2.5 years ago and an accident last year.

I'm with you Jeff. My insurance gave me the same BS last month. 23 years of driving with no moving violations and only two accidents and they raise my rates because of other idiots.

If you're going to raise my rates, do it because I'm an idiot, not because someone else is.

yea, see.... no one's rates are going DOWN unless they just turned 25, or switched companies. When you take out all the other variables like age, location, carrier etc, you see that the rates on our cars have gone up.

now lets get back to talking about VDC and 300zx twin turbos.
