Does California law require that you fix your broken third brake light? ?

Will you get a ticket with fees or just a fix-it ticket? Will you get ticketed at all? Just wondering.

thank you all for your replies.

I know it's only a few bucks to fix but I didn't want to fix it right away (i'm being a girly-girl) but I also don't want to deal with tickets, not even a fix it one.

I'll get it taken care of asap.

If it is installed on the vehicle, it must be operational. CA would most likely just issue you a fix-it summons. Once the light is working, follow the instructions & have the summons dismissed.

I called the California DMV office and this is what they said......" You can be ticketed for this if it came from the factory with one because this would fail under a safety violation and if it was an aftermarket one then remove it"......

Yes you will get a ticket if you don't fix the light might just be a warning they will usually just give a warning unless you are speeding or drag racing,

When it is working people are less likely to crash into you and hurt you, no big deal.
