Ok, this morning I went to get my front license place fix-it ticket signed-off by CHP. The officer walks out to my car.

Takes a good luck at the car...touches the front plate to make sure that it is on!! MAN...good thing I did not do the double sided tape thing.

Then...says...the windows are tinted...

says...you are not supposed to have any tint. But...he then tells me he would not cite me....especially since I did not try to hide them by rolling down the windows like many people that come by do. (he always checks windows rolled down...dead give-away!)

Anyways...1 ticket down....2 to go.

Sweet magmd. Was there a fine that was assessed?

[magmd]

nah....no fine at the CHP.

But I do have to send in the paperwork with $10 processing fee.

BASTARDS!!!!!!!

You know, Mag, I thought about you this morning. One of my patients has had a 7-series since 2001 and has never ever had a front CA plate. She bought one of those chromed ones with the BMW Roundel on it, that's it. She's never been cited. How did you get so lucky?

[magmd]

Well..I had nothing on the front. No plate...no holder...just plain beauty.

Ahhhhh...those were the days.

DAMN those HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!! :finger:

2 to go? what else did you get a ticket for?

[mds82]

[brian32e]

In CA you can't have any film on your front windows. all tint is illegal.

[325 Baller]

you cant have tint on your windows in CA? That should be illegal, thats totally crazy. God i could never live in CA.

You're not allowed to have tint on your front windows or windshield. You can have it on any other window.

2 to go? what else did you get a ticket for?

One is a metermaid ticket...no front plate....that is just paying a fine and mailing it in.

The other was for "failing to yield to a pedestrian"..total BS if you ask me. but whatever.

[sdorn]

Did you hit the pedestrian?

[magmd]

LOL...no, I did not hit them

Ok...here is the scenario once again....(by popular demand, although I know that many have already heard my rantings when it happened several weeks ago)

I was at a intersection red light...waiting to make a left turn. Light turns green...I enter the intersection. Pedestrians are crossing the street/crosswalk...as they do when the light turns green in the same direction of travel as me.

So...I can't go until they have cleared the lanes that I was intending on going into. Well....some pedestrians had already reached the curb. Some were still in the lane closest to the sidewalk (right lane) . I turn into the left hand lane......BEHIND the pedestrians as they walk away from my intended path.

Then....5-0 decided to pull me over. Says I cannot enter that crosswalk until the pedestrians are SAFELY ALL ON THE CURB. "failing to yield to pedestrians". :finger:

So...off to traffic school I go...well, going to do the online program to keep this "offense" off my record. to that cop!!
