so.. i was running through the ventura freeway with 82 miles on it...
i got caught by the police and he gave me the ticket... damn damn!
i searched about the ticket and usually ppl who got caught around 80 miles got fines around $350.... man.... i am knocked out on that!
does anyone got a ticket as same situation as I do?

 

umm yeah. Congrats.

You're lookin' at $420 w/traffic school to avoid the point - but it has to be up front

approx $380-450 (depending on the flexibility of the judge) if you want payments. You'll be hit with a point on your driving record.

Lesson Learned. Pay up or slow down.

 

ya unfortunately some of us learn after multiple tickets. Its one of those situations where you have to make a choice, drive normally and be unbothered or drive agressively and take a risk

Anyone else have a huge Eagle, Globe, and Anchor on their license plate?

 

^^ kris you never cease to amaze. dont get pulled over in your Rx8 but got busted in a range rover. wtf dude lol any way this is how you skip traffic school you pay the ticket but you pay 10 dollars EXTRA the county financial dept will send you the 10$ back ***DO NOT CASH IT*** in fact Shred it. this way they cannot put a point on your record because financial stipulations havent been resolved. Dont ask me how i found out :-)

 

also the only guy i know that gets pulled over doing 7mph... for the same reason. No front license plate.

 

I got pulled over going 0 mph, thats right. Sitting at a light, and a cop passes by in the incoming traffic lane, turns on his lights and comes right behind me. Reason?? No front plate

You: what seems to be the problem officer?
Cop: No front license plate...

*press button*

You: i think you might be mistaken...

 

I have a hideaway license plate on the back of my FC, it flips around, but i think that right there takes the cake!!!

 

there have been cleaner placements but that's pretty much the jist of it.



i'm gonna be messin' w/mine a lil' bit bcz my front lip kinda makes it a lil' difficult

 

Where can I buy one of those? lol

 

iirc, the manufacturer is called 'swift motorsports'. Google them

 

I like it, but it hangs down like 1/2 an inch below the bumper, when i already have some clearance problems... oh well, time to modify some things

 

Coolcool. Thanks.

 

I bought mine new off of eBay... but it stopped working after a while (haven't taken the time to check it out). It's called the show and go license plate, by Altec Products.

 

oh damn...guess there's more than one company that made this...I know Swift Motorsports makes the other one...

yeah, i would imagine that after a while the motor would either give out or submit to water damage

 

I got a ticket in my old Toyota Camry but never in the 8 and i go 80 everywhere. It's like I'm invisible, maybe cus I'm grey? I expected to attract more attention but it's been over 3 years now!

 

my 8 is red so its like a PLEASE LOOK AT ME signal xD

 

I hear you... mine gave up due to many car washes, and that under-spray thing... But hey at least the 8 is clean!!! And yeah, they are basically the same thing. The only noticeable difference between the Swift Motorsports and the Altec one is the remote. Other than that they look exactly the same to me.

 

total hijack post but does anyone have pics of the hideaway license plate thing on an rx8?

but im still right.

 

First ticket I was doing 84 in a 70 zone it was $167.00. Extended the ticket and did trial by declaration. Cop never responded and won.

Second ticket was doing 87 same spot a year later. That ticket was only $365.00. Same thing extended it and did trial by declaration, but this time the cop responded so I was guilty, but you can appeal the court and get another trial in front of the judge. Cop did not show and won again.

Its all luck
