Q: how much time do I have to drive with tint?
Hello, I live in Sacramento, CA. I was issued a fix-it ticket regarding tinting until October 10. Can I drive with the tinting until October, or do I need to remove it during some other period?

A:
You have until October 10 to address the fix-it ticket for your tinted windows. This means you can legally drive with the tint until that date. However, it's important to get the issue resolved promptly to avoid any additional penalties.
In California, a fix-it ticket is a type of citation that allows you to correct the violation and show proof of correction. This typically involves removing the tint and having a law enforcement officer sign off on the correction. After that, you need to send the signed proof to the court to clear the ticket.
Driving with the tint past October 10 can lead to further legal issues, including additional fines. To avoid complications, take action as soon as possible to ensure your vehicle complies with California's window tinting laws.
