30 mph over the speed limit

I think like 480...

California Traffic Tickets Fines 2011

You will receive in the mail how much the ticket will cost you. It should list the fees and even a option to pay additional fees to take traffic school so that the points stays off your record.

i guess for me it is because here in PA the cops let you go 10 over the posted speed limit....

By law local cops have to. They don't use radar/laser so you have to be 10mph over to cover any errors. State police have radar but can only use while stationary. With radar you have to be 6 over to be stopped. State police usually 74+ in a 55 or 80+ in a 65 will get you an invitation to the road side disco.

In every populated area of CA, when traffic is moving, you will see a car doing 100+ every single day. Especially in places going out of the city areas. I am not saying going 85 is right but in most 55's, doing less than about 70 is straight up dangerous. Some places in Cali, doing 20 MPH over will still make you the slowest car on the road, outside of semi's. Socal is worse than up here as well.

Go to the judge, explain your situation, say you are a student and don't have much money. You can't get away with the ticket. But you can certainly lower the cost of the ticket. IF you are honest. so pay for the ticket, go to court, admit fault say you learned your lesson and explain the situation you are in and go to traffic school. I've been up that mountain... I don't dare to go over 80 or near 80 now a days lol 60 miles of mountain.... Since you don't live around that area you will probably write a letter. OR take a chance go to court and if doesn't show up your case will be dismissed!

when you go to courthouse to set up your court date. ask for a "discovery report". its the police report for tickets. read through it. see if it states WHO calibrated the laser. 9 outta 10 times cops only put down the time of their last calibration.. but its required to be checked off by someone else. and when you go to court you simply say "in the discovery report it doesnt state who serviced the smd (laser gun), it only says what time it was calibrated at. then judge will dismiss the ticket.

it works for me EVERYTIME. althou im not sure if things are the same in WA as cali

I could be wrong but to my knowledge, this doesn't work in Cali, at least anymore. You don't even need to be clocked in CA, they can estimate your speed. In all cases where this has happened to someone I know (and myself), the speed has always been lower than the person was actually going so it isn't something problematic.

That used to be how everyone got off but I believe that does not hold up in Cali anymore, could be wrong.

Either the ticket will be between $200-$300 or go to driving school. It's your best option. You take no points and you don't have to pay. Good luck though man!

he actually caught me not with laser but getting right next to my quarter panel and pacing me. he said he did it for 1/2 a mile but i really doubt that

why did he put down 85 when u said u were going 70-80 mph..?
