    Just opt for traffic school. You can do it on line in about an hour (it's suppose to take about eight) and you will have no points against your driving record.

    At least that's how it is in southern California.

      Find out if you can go to traffic school. I thought if you went 15MPH over the speed limit you couldn't go, BUT I could be wrong.

        Even if they say you can't go to driving school petition the Judge. Traffic school is a money maker for the state. The judge will usually agree to your request.

          My wife got pop in Washinton for for doing 91mph in a 70mph, the officer told her it would be $267. Let her off with a warning.

            At first I thought you got a ticket for doing 20mph, I was like whoah. Then again I usually don't process things like normal human beings.

                  2 points/ticket...usually...

                  #1) Opt to show up in court if you can; you may get it waived if the officer doesn't show

                  #2) Opt for school if you can't do step 1 or if they show...

                  "Traffic school will keep the ticket off your record, avoid a trip to court and there will be no increase in your California car insurance rates. Be sure to get approval from the court prior to taking the school."

                  School's allowed once per 18 months...

                    Consider yourself semi-lucky; Massholes have the WORST driving laws and the cops are almost always around writing tickets....sad to say I've gotten enough tickets lately and one more will suspend my license for 60 days...oof!

                      20+ over is "reckless driving" in most states i believe. you coulda got hauled to jail for that

                      getting tickets suuuucks though, sorry to hear it.

                        If you can afford it, it is worth it to have an attorney take care of the ticket for you -- no points, no bump in insurance. It may cost more now, but you'll pay less in the long run, trust me.

                        Shouldn't be more than $100 or so if you shop around, plus your fine and court costs. Particularly when you're looking at something 20+, it is worth trying to get it amended to something that won't stay on your driving record.

                          are you guys sure that getting a ticket for going 20 MPH over the speed limit IN CALIFORNIA will get me 2 points on my records ! ?

                            well it's usually 2 for states that use a point system...now I see CA is different & that there's no exact #. The fact if you're convicted of the 85 + your previous driving record will probably determine it in the end...if this is your 1st ticket ever or in ages, you probably could get into school and avoid the points/pay a fine instead...it'd be cheaper as points can be anywhere from 3-7 years based on your overall record & insurance company.

                            Remind me never to speed if I'm out there....yeeeesh.

                            This should answer all of your questions...hopefully...

                              Got 1 ticket in CT doing 79 in a 65..... Officer gave me a $240 ticket....

                              Got another ticket in WV doing 45 in a 25.... at one point the sign said 45 and just as I hit the corner, the second sign said 25, as I was braking to reduce my speed, the officer caught me and gave me a $645 ticket for reckless driving. Thought I'll go to court and speak with the judge (which I did). Judge didn't buy that was trying to brake. Added on the court fees and the ticket ended up costing me $740. Not to mention the $120 that they charged me in having my car towed away.

                              Most exp ticket I ever paid.
