Question

What are the possible penalties for going OVER 100 mph in a 65 mph zone, in California.? Need real answers?

Answer 1

My son got a ticket on I-10 between Indio and Blythe for driving 103mph. The judge fined him $350 and took his license for 30 days. He was 17 or 18 at the time, it was a few years ago.

I should point out that even though we live in AZ, they would not let my son pay the ticket online, by mail, or over the phone. He had to appear in person.

Answer 2

It will vary depending on with highway you can the ticket on for example...........

Highway 4 in Contra Costa County and Highway 37 in Solano and Sonoma counties the fine range is from $160 to $300.

Highway 118 the fine should be around $380.

The other highways maximum penalties for the listed offenses are six months in the county jail or a fine of $1,000, or both.

The penalty amounts are intended to be used to provide standard fine amounts for a first-offense conviction of a violation shown where a fine is used as all or a portion of the sentence imposed.

Since you exceeding the speed limit by 25 mph or more then you are not eligible for traffic school to get dismiss the ticket.

You can also be facing a license suspension as well.

1. Suspension or revocation of driving privilege.

2. Fines and surcharges, including court costs.

3. Insurance surcharges or insurance cancellation.

4. Community service or jail time for repeat offenders.

5. Restoration fees for suspended license or registration.

Answer 7

I got this on the DMV website. It explains the difference between an infraction and a misdemeanor and the ensuing results:

Getting Stopped

When a peace officer signals you to pull over, do so at the next safe spot on the shoulder or roadside. The officer will approach the passenger side of your vehicle and ask for your driver's license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance.

In most cases, the officer will write you a traffic ticket and ask you to sign it before he gives you your copy. By signing, you are not admitting guilt; you are simply agreeing to appear in court. The appearance date is noted on the front of the ticket.

Infractions vs. Misdemeanors

An infraction is the breaking of a law. If an officer witnesses you fail to stop at a stop sign, drive above the speed limit, or make an illegal U-turn, for example, you will be given a ticket with a notice to appear in court or pay a fine.

Misdemeanors are more serious crimes such as driving without a license, drag racing, DUI, and reckless driving. If you are ticketed for a misdemeanor, you are required to appear in court. You could get jail time―so you might want to hire an attorney to assist you with your case.

Paying the Fine

If you just plan on paying the fine and perhaps attending traffic school to wipe points on your record, there's no need to go to court. You can take care of your ticket by mail or online; all the contact information should be printed on your ticket. If it's not, call the traffic court in the issuing county.

You don't have to go to court unless you plan to contest the ticket, or got a misdemeanor violation.

Traffic School

Some traffic tickets can be resolved by attending traffic school.

You may then have the option of attending traffic school to erase the points on your license. Many are even offered online.

You will be charged a traffic school fee, which is usually the same amount as the fine would be. Then, submit your completion certificate to the court. If you're usually ticket-free, the points shouldn't even show up on your record.

If you had a more serious infraction (a two-point infraction), you won't be able to take traffic school to dismiss the charges.

Requesting a Trial

If you wish to contest the ticket, you must go to court in the county that issued it. So if you got zapped for speeding on the way home to Los Angeles from Tahoe, you'll have to trek back up for your trial.

To cut down trips to the court, you can request a trial through the mail instead (use certified or registered mail) at least a week in advance of your appearance date. You'll get some forms back, to explain why you want a trial.

f you do go in for your first court session, it's called a "preliminary hearing" and lets you enter a plea.

After you request a trial, a date will be assigned, and you may present your case at that time. If the charge is serious, you might consider hiring an attorney who specializes in traffic violations.

You will also be required to pay a bail amount when you request a trial (even through the mail), so be prepared to pay something on the day you appear at your preliminary hearing.

Since speeding at 100MPH is 30 MPH above the highest posted speed limit, it is likely that you will be charged with misdemeanor reckless driving.
