What roadside violation(s) have you ever been cited for that you could've fixed but were too lazy to repair and it ended up costing you more time and money then if you would have fixed it from the get go?

The purpose of this question is to self evaluate ourselves if we have evolved from our previous indifferent mentality and have learned to find the time to make the issue at hand now a safe and cost effective one.  Sharing your experiences will also educate other drivers by them learning from your mistakes.
