Speeding on the 5!
The max penalty for over 100 mph is $1750 and a 45 day suspension. CHiPs wasn't kind enough to write my ticket for 95mph.
Judge saved me $1113 and 30 days!
Only thing that sucks is that I can't correct it through traffic school so I am stuck with the 2 point hit!!!!

What the heck? $637?! Jeez, that's pricy. What was the ticket written up as? 108 mph?
I got pulled over on 101 two years ago going 130~, and the cop wrote up the ticket as 95+mph and my ticket was around 350. And MGV156, it's not true that you can't go to traffic school for violations over 25mph because I was able to go to traffic school just fine, even though my ticket was for 30+mph over.

My gf got ticketed going 95 on a 65 and she wasn't allowed to take traffic school. This is what Santa Clara county traffic court told her. May be it's different for other counties??

Did she have a previous ticket less than 18 months before that one? Because my ticket was in Santa Clara Country as well. I just got the fine sent to me via mail, and I just paid for the ticket and the traffic school as you'd normally do.

Re: Speeding on the 5!
Around where on NB I-5 were you? I got snagged going NB on 5 a few years back doing 105 but CHP put me down for 95 but still 25MPH over the limit does not qualify you for traffic school. I had to plead with the judge on that one given my driven record was immaculate. If you didn't get your court date yet.....just reschedule. Just last year I got one on HWY 50 going to tahoe. CHP rescheduled on me, I rescheduled on him and when the court date came he was there but for different citations and no idea or information regarding mine so he requested a dismissal. I got off scotch free!!!! Hope you have the same luck!

Got caught North Bound on the 5. I was doing about 90...cop on south bound claims I was doing 108. Whatever. I have to deal with it regardless.
Anyone get a speeding ticket on the 5? What happened? How much was your fine? Or did you get suspended?
Help!

Furthermore, it is not a a felony to go over 100 mph. This is simply not true.

Trust me... If you get busted for over 100mph: no traffic school and 2 points. The cop wasn't nice enough to write my ticket for 95mph...He stuck it to me for 108mph.
And, it is not a felony.

Re: Speeding on the 5!
I got nailed about a year ago with a similar situation. He said I ws doing 112 and geve me the speach about an automatic misdemeanor & License suspension for over 100mph. Anyway I was really nice and so was he...wrote me up for 85+ and the fine was about $175.00 if I recall. I had a clean record at the time and I know the two factors that affect the fine are the number of points already on your record and the county you were caught in. I think I was in Kern county at the time. Good Luck
