First time getting a ticket
so I got my first speeding ticket in my Z today Because its my first time, I dont know how much the ticket will cost me. I was going 75 on a 65 highway (yeah, I know this is such a bs way to get pulled over).
Can anyone tell me the approx. cost of the fine? thanks |

You'll also get a letter in the mail with the fines on them. It's gonna be some ridculously high fee but this is usually the maximum fine they can put on you for your violation. Going to court to plea will almost always reduce the amount.
(I got pulled over a while back for not coming to a complete stop before turning right on red. Initial fine was $560. I asked for traffic school and ended up only paying $320. Still pretty high but not as bad)

You really got pulled over for going 10 over on a 65 mph highway in Cali? That's crazy... I guess I'm lucky I didn't get pulled over for going 25-30 over just keeping up with the fast lane of traffic.
I'm surprised you didn't get a break. Cop must have been a hard *** or was simply jealous of a car he couldn't possibly afford on his crappy salary. Or you were a **** about it :P

If you have the option of taking traffic school at least once (unlike 5 times per driver in the State of Florida), take up on it. Maybe the individual that pulled you over gave you a break in speed and lowered it in your favor.
If you go to court for it, he/she has the right to amend the ticket to reflect actual speed you were going at the time. |

usYou think that is ***, I was coming home form an install on sep 11th passed a cop on the side of the road. Two minutes later I get pulled over. He asks if I knew why I was pulled over. I was going 80 in a 65 but staying with traffic. He says that and changing lanes rapidly and have illegal covers on my tags. The same weather tech covers I have had for 5 years been through two inspections with them and been pulled over at least 5 times with them on. NEVER ONCE did anyone say anything about them. But wouldn't you know it, he gives me a ticket for that a 85 dollar ticket for covers that are legal. Meh cops are having fun now a days.

You should fight the ticket and see if you can get it reduced. Plead not guilty. That's what I did a few years back, but i'm not sure how it works in Cali.
