My question involves vehicle maintenance laws for the State of: California

I am a Adult Student Driver and I was driving with a instructor when I was pulled over by a police officer.

He said the car windows were tinted and issued a ticket in my name.(The cop said the ticket will be given to who ever is driving the car) The car is registered to the instructor who was with me when I got the ticket.

The instructor took the citation from me saying that he will take care of it. But from that time I am not able to contact him. He is not picking up the calls and not replying to my emails.

I am completely clueless about what to do in this situation.

Any advise is appreciated.
