Help: Exhaust ticket, bald tired question

[ayenoc]

Sup fellas. Tonight, I was test driving my buddy 240sx and plan on buying it. As I left his house, I gunned it 50mph on a 35 mph. I slowly slow down because I saw that cops was in back on me. He pulled me over and I explained to him that I was just test driving the car and wanted to buy it. He didn't get me a speeding ticket but wrote me up for modified exhaust and bald rear tires. Couldn't I just go to sheriff department and say that I end up NOT buying the car anymore because he had bald tires which I wasn't aware off and that the exhaust was just stock and had leak on it. Would they actually buy this? The exhaust ticket he gave me was not correctable except on the bald tires. Pls free to chime in on what should I do. Thanks guys.

if its Non correctable your buddy is fucked if he has a swap he has to go to BAR for inspection which if he passes is $100+ its better to pay the bail and walk

It's pretty easy. The ticket is in your name, right? Simply do a "trial by written declaration" and say you don't even own the car. Mail proof of your friend's ownership at the time that you received the ticket, and get it dismissed. Don't put it in your name until you finish this just to keep things a bit simpler, just in case.

If you can't wait... well... I've gotten the same exact tickets before. Either you can get a quieter exhaust for the car and new tires and get the ticket written off at a CHP station, or you'll go there and they'll say too bad it's not correctable (because they want to be dicks that day). So, if that happens, you make the changes anyways and you go to court. Dress respectfully, be courteous, etc.. I ran into this a few years ago (bald tires/exhaust ticket written as "non-correctable). I went to court and the judge asked me if I got new tires and if I changed the exhaust. So, I had with me a folder with pictures of new tires and a stock-looking exhaust mounted on the car, with some receipts proving that the new parts were installed after the ticket was given. I said, yes I made the corrections, handed the folder to the bailiff to show to the judge, and he just said "Good, pay the 10 dollar processing fee on your way out." If you're lucky and the judge is having a good day, it'll work out the same way for you. Professionalism goes a long way sometimes (not all the time).

Just my 2 cents

Mr Migs. Thanks a lot. yes the ticket under my name. I haven't put the car under my name. My buddy said just to wait until I clear my ticket.
