fix the window and send them the receipt signed from the person who did it.

at least thats how they do it in CT. then they drop the fine i believe.

is it THAT bad where it needs to be replaced? i have 2 cracks and 1 chip on my windshield. the chip is right in front of my view, 1 crack is a tad on the right of my view and the other is on the bottom pass side, both no longer than 1'. I got mine drilled and filled with silicone at a local glass shop and have gotten stopped about 3-4 times in my car with zero problems. you really cant see the crack unless you look for one or a light reflection from the sun. it also depends on the state laws because you might not pass inspection, being its Cali i guess thats how they are. you cant do anything to your car over there.

i'm assuming that its a fix it ticket for a cracked windshield.

if so get it fixed, find a police officer to sign the ticket after he's verified that it was fixed. send the ticket to the courthouse with the processing fee. it should be like $10.

or you can take the ticket to the courthouse and pay then get a reciept verifying that it was paid.

i'd just go to the courthouse myself.

that's if you have a glass coverage. if not, then it gets covered under the comp coverage.

Itd be VERY stupid to not get that fixed...forget about that ticket. If you get in an accident with a windshield like that it weakens the structure of your car, plus it could collapse on impact and seriously injure you.

Pay the ticket, get it fixed. Use some common sense.
