Lost of income due to driving record. $???

Too much money but it was all worth it.

I have had over 40 tickets with my Mustang since 1989, these are just the ones I could remember, my old plate said "14CHP2C" and cops hated it, I got pulled over at least once a week. I dont really want to try to add the money up.

18- tinted window tickets
1- moving violation ticket for too many tinted window tickets by the same CHP officer
10- regular speeding tickets
6- no front plate tickets
1- stop sign ticket
1- for 115mph plus
1- for street racing plus went to Santa Rita for the night
1- for DUI
1- for modified vehicle too low
1- for too loud-REF ticket

I see alot of you have gotten a tkt for no front plate!!! So if you put it in your front window on your dash does that count as having your front plate on??? Marvin do they bother you with your window plate??? I don't have 1 but I have never gotten a tkt for it!! I hope my luck continues!!!

front plate in the window advertises that you don't have a front plate to the cops.

No, not at all. Read this from the California Vehicle Code. Always go there for all of your questions. Or you can find it online and Google it!!

5200 CVC - When two license plates are issued by the DMV for a vehicle, they shall be attached to the vehicle for which they were issued, one in the front and the other in the rear.

5201 CVC - License plates shall at all times be securely fastened to the vehicle for which they are issued so as to prevent the plates from swinging and shall be mounted in a position to be clearly visible, and shall be maintained in a condition so as to be clearly legible. The front license plate shall be mounted not more than 60 inches from the ground.

Hey N8, that's quite a record you got there. What happened to the stereotypical pull over the black guy for know reason at all routine. Did you have any of those? Scariest one I ever had was "Licence, registration, proof of insurance and as a matter of fact.....I think I'm taking you to jail". Instantly shit my pants!!!! [Eek!]

I've been to Jail twice over my car. Both times really wasn't my fault.

1st time was really just a domestic violence issue, it just so happen there was two mustangs involved and I got to spend the night jail for exihibition of speed.

2nd time was a DMV error, I was in ATL and got pulled over for speeding and lic. came back suspended. Under GA law, out of state lic. "Go directly to Jail" do not pass go. Spent the weekend in there. Had to have my CO get me out.

I have been pulled over, and even harassed but never for a moving violation. Not saying I am goodie 2 shoes. Just luck y I guess. But I never was a reckless one anyway. I value life too much. Plus I am handsome. So I figure why drive fast so the ladies can't get a good look at me. [Razz]
