I always like to keep a clean record. If you ever do get pulled over there's a much better chance of getting a warning if your record doesn't look like Al Capones.

Its his first ticket.

OP: If you check your registration, you'll likely see that the Make is "Toyota" and the model is "ScionFRS." Case closed. Pay it and move on, its probably cheaper than a court appearance anyways.

The ticket isn't worth the fight or lawyer fee's. It'll be less expensive to pay the ticket and take a 5 hour course to get rid of the points.

All scions are TOYOTA according to the DMV.

My Registration says TOYOT I will still give it a try getting the judged piss off is your money

You won't get off on a technicality. My guess is that he also recorded your plate...your plate will match with your name and the car's VIN via registration.

However, my legal advice is what it always is on internet forums...if you are worried about legal advice, ask a lawyer...in person, not a bunch of internet strangers.

Not familiar with US law, but time is precious. Pay and move on. You can earn back the money lost and perhaps meet a hot girl in the progress wanting a ride.

Many insurance companies call the scion FRS the "Toyota scion frs" Same for most scions. If those people get in an accident is their insurance void? No, so pay your ticket and move about your bussiness.

Legal advice? On a car forum?

The only legal advice a non-lawyer should give you is to go ask a real lawyer.

Your situation isn't really worthy of getting a real lawyer ($$$)... so I suggest just pay up and stop coming up with lame excuses on why you broke the law and got caught.

BRZranger · 04-02-2013, 09:43 AM

Look into a deferral, might work out for you.

shawnperolis · 04-02-2013, 09:44 AM

Pay the ticket.

I have a similar situation that I look forward to resolving.

The police officer wrote my wrong birthday AND year model of my car on the ticket. He could not **see** the correct information that is printed on my drivers license and insurance ID car but he could **see** me do a traffic infraction?

Seems to me he has eyesight problems.

Step 1: Pay your fine and POLITELY ask for a deferral.
Step 2: Drive more responsibly.
Step 3: If unwilling or unable to do Step 2, try harder to not get caught next time!
