    Dang yo, GA laws are so weird man.

    Before when I was in Miami I also received a citation for height but in Florida it was 23 inches from the middle of the vehicles Headlight to the ground.

    Now thanks to this reading I just learned something new and at the worst time too. Now cops are writing everyone in their mothers a ticket for $$$$. Just like that time I got a ticket for "Laying Drag" which costed me $400.

    Laying Drag = anytime when the vehicle makes the tire screatching sound this applies to the new asphalt parking lots and stuff. I got caught making a turn on a new paved road. Cops are bigger dicks now so watch out people.
    EK needs a new tune? baby needs more boost so a good tuner is needed....anyone?

    incest has been illegal for a while, though i'm not sure on the Ga regulations. if you got a ticket i'm sure you deserved it anyway.

    Are you serious man????

    Anyways,

    It's called "Stereotype" and no I did not deserve a ticket. Just because I own a modified car does not mean I deserve a ticket. Please know your facts before making stupid comments like that.

    Right. No one ever deserves their tickets. Every person in possession of a driver's license is a great, perfect driver. Come on, man. Don't try to put all that "cops are idiot" banter down on here. You had to have been doing a little more than just making a simple turn in order to cause your tires to squeal. I guarantee you that. And for that, you deserve the ticket. You drive unlawfully, you get caught, you get ticketed. Later, QD.

    I never thought they all are good, no. And I doubt I will ever think that my ticket was unmerited. You're one of those "they got me cause of my race, they got me cause of my car, they got me for my clothing style" type people that have to pass the blame to anyone but yourself. Later, QD.
