CA Traffic Tickets Effective January 6, 2012
CALIFORNIANS
BE VERY CAREFUL OUT THERE!
THE LOS ANGELES TIMES HAS AN ARTICLE ON THE SUBJECT: "FLOORING IT ON CAR FINES".
PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES !
Subject: Important Notice: HUGE California Traffic Tickets Fines Effective 01/06/2012 Please be extremely careful in your driving and car registration & insurance matters. State of California is broke and they are trying hard to squeeze all of us hard to collect money. Effective immediately, if you do not stop at the red light, be ready to pay $436 in fines or if you pass a school bus with fla shing red signals, you will be charged $616. The state of California is going for blood, so be extra careful in driving, You cannot afford messing with them. I have been hearing that Highway Patrols are under pressure to issue a lot more tickets than last year with at least 30% increase in fines over 2009, so beware of radar guns, highway and traffic cameras installed everywhere and the tougher enforcement of parking rules. Just for your info, the next time you park in the handicapped zone, even for a minute, you will be looking at almost $ 1000 in parking tickets, so it'd better be worth it.

fully 85-90 perecnt of all motor vehicle accident claims we see these days are caused by people following too closely.
as in: "oops! i did not notice that you were all stopped for the red light. so sorry about the eight car pileup i caused by slamming into you all at the speed of 60 mph".
tailgating should be added to the list and enforced too. | |

A couple of these I didn't know they ding you for. The change of address I didn't know even though I haven't moved in a long time. And I thought you were allowed up to about 4 miles over the speed limit, or a warning. Everything else seems pretty standard, expensive but standard. Listening to the State of the State address tonight?

Tailgating is way out of control. I actually narrowly averted rear-ending someone today (and being rear-ended also) when the person in front of me stopped quickly on the freeway.
I probably was too close and did not even realize it, but if I'd been as close as some people, I'd be exchanging info with them right now. My Legacy
