Hey guys, I recently received a ticket for improper equipment, when I was pulled over for expired registration. The State Trooper (Virginia) walked up to my car and asked for the typical license and registration, then proceeded to take his Trooper hat off and look underneath my vehicle (where he saw my off-road X pipe). That's when he asked me what type of tow truck preference I had b/c he was going to impound my car. Fortunately, the officer had a change of heart and just gave me two tickets (expired tags and improper equip) and told me to get the car re-inspected.
The improper equip ticket states that I don't have to be in attendance at court and I can just pay the fine, but how would they know that the car was re-inspected? Any recommendations? Should I go to court with proof of the new fix or just pay the fines and fees and not worry about it?
