Any police officers here?

I was wondering what the average amount a ticket would be for having a busted headlight? Anyone know the answer, or know an officer that can give me an answer? I got pulled over cause my right headlight was out and got a ticket for $115. To me, this is an insane amount of money. I live in Philly, by the way.

seems cheap to me

$115 for a headlight being out? That's like the price for speeding or taking a red light!

 

[igdrasil]

not cheap, the ticket here in PR is $50.00.

thats bulls*** sign that s*** not guilty and bring them to court and tell them that the headlight just went out that day.

 

[k-lea]

It's like a $75 dollar ticket in NJ I think.

Here in oly it's a swift kick in the ass and you're on your way.

Go to your court and show the magistrate you fixed the problem. Fine should then be waived.

In oklahoma its $165 fine and 1 point moving violation on your driving record.


however not wearing a seatbelt is $50 and not a moving violation so it doesnt go on your record (boom07)

 

[dupa12345]

im sure he didnt make it up

you have up to 115 to spend on fixing it now and trying to get out of the ticket

You should follow that cop home and take a baseball bat and smash out his car headlights.

ya great idea (five-0) (piss)

Isn't it just a fix-it ticket? I thought you only paid the fine if you failed to get it fixed.

in oklahoma its a fix-it-or i give u another ticket

 

[NoRotorNoMotor]

has to be, there is no proof that the bulb didnt burn out 1 minute earlier, but they do ticket you just so you fix it

Thought so. That's how it is here too.

im pretty sure in PA there is a minimum amount for any ticket that you get... when i was in high school i got a ticket for disobeying a street sign and it was $94.50 because that was the lowest amount....so like 6 years later, i wouldnt be surprised if $115 is the new minimum ticket value

i agree, it sucks, i would still plead not guilty and hope to get off, but i doubt it would get reduced
