DUFFM4N · 09-22-2008, 05:38 PM

congrats for you! *golf clap*

mangoes · 09-22-2008, 06:13 PM

DreamN · 09-22-2008, 06:15 PM

That's great to hear. We need more ppl to chime in on this who have ref tickets.

LifePlazaCircuit · 09-22-2008, 10:30 PM

I have a ref ticket for modifeld exhaust, smog emissions, and air cleaner..

What exactly do I do to clear the ticket.

My court date is on 10/07/09

I was told to take my car to any smog shop take the smog cert. to the judge and he will clear it but no one can seem to confirm this.

Anyone have any info??

DataXUnknown · 09-22-2008, 11:32 PM

Wonderful...my court date is coming up in October...lets see if Riverside County is any nicer.

go today and go see a judge and just tell them you will not be in town for the court date and share the other examples as above stated.

PRADOgy · 09-23-2008, 01:50 PM

I feel we should take advantage of this.. but keep it amongst us zilvians.. =X

besTint · 09-23-2008, 10:27 AM

cop just put modified emmissions and didnt specify but he was tripping on the intake piping when he gave it to me.

***CrimsonRockett*** · 09-23-2008, 10:36 AM

I should go to court already.

I'm due for 10/10/08.

So, just told the judge you fixed the problem, but since the ref stations were closed, you couldn't do anything about it?

MudRacer · 09-23-2008, 10:43 AM

Yea, I think u can still show up in front of the judge before your date. Explain the situation and he may write it off. Correct me if im wrong.

s13silady · 09-23-2008, 10:53 AM

ok this is just what ive HEARD, and i would like to see if there is a definative answer.

i have quite a few buddy's that are state smog employees. and a few cop buddies.

they were telling me that the state refs might not even open up anymore. they said that good ol arnold is looking to abolish the state ref program. anyone have any insight?

well he knew right off the bat i couldnt ref shit. just asked where the car was, told him it was at the shop and he said pay ten dollars. i couldnt keep myself from smiling. i tried so hard not too but i know there was a good smirk showing.

Teddy · 09-24-2008, 01:12 AM

So.... does this mean that I no longer need to shit bricks when I'm being tailed by a cop?

Grenade180sx · 09-24-2008, 09:17 AM

HAHAHA. your extremely lucky my friend. riverside county was not kind to me. $654 big ones they screwed me with. so lunch on you next time HAHAHA oh and ill need a ride.

chairmnofthboard · 09-24-2008, 09:51 AM

Sweeeeeeeet

besTint · 09-24-2008, 10:06 AM

yea there was another guy at court with me who had a ref ticket with a speeding and he paid $200something.

markyboi · 09-24-2008, 11:54 AM

quick question: how do you know if you have a ref ticket?

i got a ticket that says modified exhaust and he checked it off as non correctable

would that be a ref ticket?

Grenade180sx · 09-24-2008, 12:06 PM

no.. a ref ticket will have a little white label put on the back saying you cant drive your car on the street as it is a gross polluter.

not necessarily. sometimes the cop is lazy and will just write on the back.

it will have NON-CORRECTABLE checked off... but as soon as he checks it off non correctable, thats ref.

so since i got a modified exhaust ticket that checked off as non correctable, it is a ref ticket correct?

any1 else?

blakeZX · 09-27-2008, 10:08 PM

Maybe someone can answer this for me...if my car is registered in Montana (no smog or inspection) as a company car, can California cops still send me to the ref., or am I off the hook since the car is not California-titled?

Hope my loophole works...

You should've told the cop to eat a dick. But since you didn't...
Go to court, show the judge your out of state registration, tell him the car is registered with family there because you usually leave the car at their place in that state. See the bailiff, pay ten dollars, walk away. lol

Grenade180sx · 09-28-2008, 01:00 AM

no. its not a ref ticket. i have a ticket for excessive exhaust noise its checked correctable NO> i called court they said just pay the 10 dollars. A STATE REF TICKET WILL HAVE MODIFIED EMISSIONS ANDOR the white sticker on the back of the ticket.

rebornS14 · 10-07-2008, 11:50 PM

got a speeding ticket with modified emissions/state ref bs. went to court last week and i paid $220 for my speeding and got the ref dropped. wo0t!

cc4usmc · 10-08-2008, 02:45 AM
