first fix-it ticket - Toyota Yaris Forums

yrsdrgn · 05-09-2007, 09:22 PM

well while going to my friend's house before school (carpool), i got pulled over by a cop. he said i was going 65 in a 35 zone (which i highly doubt i was going considering there were hella cars going slow) but later one he says "i think you're a good kid so i'm going to give you a fix-it ticket instead" and low and behold i get a fix it ticket on Hickey Blvd near Serramonte.

Only thing now is I don't know what I am to do after replacing the muffler.

Any info?

Thanks

Just drive the car down to your local PD, Sherrif or CHP. They will have an officer walk out to the car with you and he will sign the back of the ticket once he's satisfied that your exhaust is back to stock. That is if the ticket is only for "modified exhaust" or "loud exhaust". If it's anything else, you may need to go to the referee to get it signed off, which is just as easy, just takes longer and is by appointment only.

You pay the officer that signs it off. You then mail the ticket in or bring it with you to court (if you even have to go).

I'm pretty sure that I don't have to go to court so maybe I'll mail it in after i get it signed.

Kaotic Lazagna · 05-10-2007, 01:05 AM

i got my ticket signed off, then mailed it in with a check (i think it was a check).

yrsdrgn · 05-10-2007, 01:07 AM

mailed it to the court i suppose?

sorry for all the newbie questions.

I got a fix it ticket because my red square (temp registration) expired while I was working on smog.. I showed up at the local CHP office (I got my ticket on the freeway) with a check and my new registration card. All done in one shot.

Last time I had a fix it ticket was back in 1999.

Back then in the city of Westminster I just took my car just the way it was to the police station. Asked a cop to help me payoff my fix it ticket. He check, ok it, and I payed at the station. He took my ticket, handed me my receipt, and said "Everything is all done, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

FYI: My Fix-it ticket was for my front blinkers not being "Orange enough". Odd thing was they were stock bulbs... What an ass of a cop that gave me a fix it ticket =T

What exhaust setup were you using? I have the TRD axle-back which I can only hear when accelerating, but it's quiet when I'm stopped. I'm asking because I'm taking a week vacation this summer to CA and I don't want to get a fix-it ticket. Also did they make any mention of your blue headlights? I replaced my orange blinker blubs with chrome bulbs and now the orange is a red-orange. Basically I don't want to incur any more expenses for my vacation.

I too have those chrome bulbs for blinkers for quite some time now, I say a good 2.5 months and so far no problems. My friend, a LAPD officer, said they were "orange" enough to not get in trouble even w/ the slight redish hue...

i mailed it to the address on the fix-it ticket.
