When you get a speeding ticket and it says VC 22349A, what does it mean?

Question

And what does just the VC part mean? And I want the answer in layman's terms, not some wordy document from the DMV!!

Answer 1

It's a speeding violation. Exceed Max Speed Limit 65. The cop must note on the ticket what was the speed you were going when he pulled you over or the ticket is void.  

Answer 2

Depending on where you are from it could mean a number of things.  

VC- vehicle code (VC followed by numbers could just indicate the offense you committed. i.e. VC22349A = Vehicle Code Speeding) The numbers are just another way of saying Speeding.

More than likely this is what it means. Texas uses TC, which stands for Traffic Code.  

You might ask a Police Officer in your state.  

Answer 3

The Maximum Speed Limit Law

Cal Vehicle Vehicle Code 22349.  (a) Except as provided in Section 22356, no person may drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than 65 miles per hour.

22356.  (a) Whenever the Department of Transportation, after consultation with the Department of the California Highway Patrol, determines upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey on existing highway segments, or upon the basis of appropriate design standards and projected traffic volumes in the case of newly constructed highway segments, that a speed greater than 65 miles per hour would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe upon any state highway, or portion thereof, that is otherwise subject to a maximum speed limit of 65 miles per hour, the Department of Transportation, with the approval of the Department of the California Highway Patrol, may declare a higher maximum speed of 70 miles per hour for vehicles not subject to Section 22406, and shall cause appropriate signs to be erected giving notice thereof. The Department of Transportation shall only make a determination under this section that is fully consistent with, and in full compliance with, federal law.

(b) No person shall drive a vehicle upon that highway at a speed greater than 70 miles per hour, as posted.

(c) This section shall become operative on the date specified in subdivision (c) of Section 22366.
