california ticket violation 23123 aka cell phone violation

arcticreaver · 03-16-2009, 12:11 PM

okay i read the law that for first time violation it is only a $20.00 fine. second time $50.00 fine.

my boss just got a ticket and the letter came in today at 132.00. wtf? did we misread something here?

There's also a bunch of "charges" and "fees" associated with it. Basically, the courts, cities, county, state, police wants a piece of the pie.

Cali has to get their money somehow...besides steeling your taxes I suppose...but god damn...thats a big hit. I assume if your caught on the phone whiel driving they give you that ticket?

i think it's total BS that on the official law it states 20 to 50 dollar fine when the ACTUAL bill is for 100+. i need to move.

While I don't agree on the $$ amount discrepancy of fines etc..

I'm all for the banning of talking (non-emergency) on a cell phone while driving..

this law doesnt bother me at all. i cant stand people that are on the phone while driving.

Don't break the law and you don't have to worry /thread.

Tell your boss that Chubbs says, "Just be thankful you didn't cause an accident while you were on the phone."

...no sympathy here either.
