CHP-Notice to appear
I got a fix-it ticket for no front plate on my Z about 2 weeks ago in Malibu.
All I want to do is pay whatever fine I need to pay and be done with this, but it looks like they're making me appear on 9/7 in Malibu to show I've fixed this...?
There's no fine amount on the ticket, and there's that appearance date, so I'm a little lost - usually you can just pay or appear. Looks like I don't have that option on this one, is that possible?
At LAX I've received ticets for no front plate - you just pay the $45 and it's history - this ticket is different.
Anyone know if I can just pay a fine and forget this appearance thing? Where do I go to find out (without having to drive to Malibu...!). Doh!

Actually, there has to be a way of doing this over the phone/otherwise...my buddy was with me in his own BMW and got the same ticket. He lives in SF though...

For those who care/want to know (future ref), I called and he said you absolutely have to put the front plate on the car and bring it in for sign-off. There is no fine aside from some $15 fee. I have the bracket, I have the plate, but this will leave me with two frigging holes in my bumper.
WTF.
WTF.

it seems strange they want you to go to that specific place.. read the back of your ticket under 'correctible violations' carefully.

every where is different. you need to show the judge or chp that u put ur plate back on and maybe pay a fine for court fee or some time consuming fee. LAX cop didnt care if u had it back on or not imo

while different cities have different fix-it ticket processing fees, the basic california vehicle code doesn't change. CHP isn't city-specific, is it? any ticket i've ever gotten from a CHP officer [the top of the ticket will say CHP] has looked exactly the same, and the instructions on the back have been the same.

when i first got my ticket, i didn't think i had a choice either. online it didn't give an optional fee. but when i called, they gave me a price to pay (instead of showing proof). however, i fixed it anyways since the fee was too high.
but yea, i did the samething that dirty did. bought some zipties then put my Performance Nissan cover over the plates (so the zipties weren't obvious) and i was good.
