Re: Got my first ticket
I've only gotten one speeding ticket, paid it because I knew it was my fault. Since then I haven't gotten any flak from cops in well over a year. Except one time when me and twack were cruisin... :P

Helps when your car isn't fast enough to break the speed limits in the first place.

Re: Got my first ticket
^ lucky bastard, and no radar detector even
BTW, they will throw out the tint ticket completely if you tell them you'll take it off. I've never paid for one.

Re: Got my first ticket
I'm going to take it off and re-do it with 50 I guess... i'm a little upset about it I guess, cause I thought I got 35 or 30 and it was bobbling between 23-24 on his meter.

30 - 6 (factory tint) = 24%
Don't take it off, just go and tell them you'll get it removed. You're getting too bent out of shape over a dumb ticket.

Re: Got my first ticket
Haha, this thread ftw.
I thought the tint number you order usually accounts for the factory tint. I got 20, and it reads 20 or 21 every single time with their measurer, and it did on my Bravada when I had that one too. I guess maybe it depends on the tint company whether or not they include factory tint in their numbering.
BTW, what was the speeding ticket for and in what MPH zone?

There's an open invitation to autocrosses and other track events. Leave the straight line highway dick wagging to the ricers and people who think they are good drivers.

I can get away with that? Aren't they going to want me to prove to them that I took it off? Me just saying i'll do it is enough?
Also, how the heck do I find out how much i'm supposed to pay? The ticket has no info about that on it??

Since you have a clean record I don't think they'll give you any hassle about it. But, do you have any old pics of your car before the tint? Or, just find a picture of a blue 4G online  I've done both of these tricks before.
There should be a website and/or phone # on the ticket, it sometimes will take up to a week for the citation to get into their system though so be patient.

Re: Got my first ticket
I got pulled over about a year ago basically because I drive a tuner car. It was like 2am and I made sure I wasn't speeding, but just because I drive a louder than average car the cop assumed I was flying! haha it was also dark out so my tint looked even darker. I think mine is like 35ish, but im not sure. I just played super super dumb and acted really concerned about it and how I will make sure to take it off right away lol. I was askin him where to get it off and how to do it and just playing super dumb and he ate it all up. He did end up getting me with a tabs ticket which was easily dropped when i talked to a hearing officer. I wish the hearing officers were cops because they'd be much better lol

Haha, I did the same thing. The only previous pictures I had were with Iowa plates so I had to get a picture of another online, I kept it for future use as well. I even have like 3 warnings for tint, they still let me off.

A race is a race. You watch nascar dont you? They hold the steering wheel in one position the entire time, much like drag racing.
Im glad you are good at dodging cones.
