Got a ticket today,
 

So, I was leaving school today and once I turned on to a main road went through my first 2 gears, like I do everyday (makes me happy to feel boost after a boring school day). No traction like always and ---- is loud when I,m boosting to redline. About a mile later I get pulled over by a cop and he tells me my exhaust was louder than normal. Told me that ---- was illegal and fined me $139 for it and another $124 for cracked windshield. Have a question though, He just handed the ticket over to me without having me sign it and he spelled my first name wrong (missing a letter) after that he left. I want to know if the ticket is valid or not. Let me know what you guys think before I call the police station or a lawyer to ask.

Re: Got a ticket today,
 

what is ur first name and how bad does that 1 letter affect it? like if ur name is John and Jon was written

I know if they spell ur last name wrong that can potentially void a ticket, or if they write the wrong car. I'm really not too sure on ur case tho.

In FL if u have a cracked windshield in the driver's view, insurance usually takes care of it, or at least reimburses u for it

Dmitriy and he wrote it as Dmitry. Also, you have to sign the ticket when he hands it to you which automatically signs his copy too, which means you agree to getting pulled the ---- over, and promise to schedule a court date.

You should be able to get a repair and report before they issue you a ticket. I had a asshat cop do the same ---- with me. I took my car to the police station, had another officer listen to my car, and he wrote off the ticket.

I've never had to sign a ticket. Where the ---- you live? *Ninja edit* Washington

Re: Got a ticket today,
 

what about windshield?, change that ---- before sending out the ticket, too? Might come out cheaper cuz i'll do that ---- myself.
Because i do not have a problem with temporarily welding a piece of stock ---- on, might even keep it permanent from future police troubles.

Re: Got a ticket today,
 

In Washington, if you refuse to sign the green copy he'll ask you to sign the yellow copy, and if you refuse again, he'll ask you to sign a red one. If you refuse for the 3rd time he has a right to take you to jail. Im probably going to call up a lawyer and see if signing is required.
I actually thought he would write me a reckless/negligent second degree because that's what burning out / unsafe accelaration and plus the car get's all over the place with no traction.

if u have no prob wit it....i suggest welding a stock muffler to some pipe and put it on the car for a day, just to take it to the police station and be like "how is this loud?" then go home and change that ---- back

Re: Got a ticket today,
 

The LS spools the turbo very quick, so stock exhaust might not be too bad. Anybody know a place where I can buy a new windshield? Feel like replacing that ---- too.
