What is a fix it ticket?

A fix it ticket, also known as a correctable violation or a compliance ticket, is issued by law enforcement for a minor infraction that can be easily remedied. Common examples include expired registration, broken taillights, or a missing front license plate.

When you receive a fix it ticket, you typically have a specified amount of time to correct the issue and provide proof of correction to the issuing agency, such as a police department or court. Once you have fixed the problem and shown proof, the ticket is dismissed and you may only be required to pay a small administrative fee.

Failure to address the issue within the required timeframe can result in additional fines and penalties, such as a higher fine or a mark on your driving record. It is important to take care of fix it tickets promptly to avoid any further consequences.
