Hi all, got my first speeding ticket today.
I was in my cage driving back from Cali to Phoenix and I got pulled over outside of Blythe by a CHP doing 96 in a 70 zone. He just gave me a regular 'infraction' speeding ticket, not a misdemeanor or anything. 22356(B) VC EXCEED 70MPH. He did write '96' in the approximate speed field though.
I went to the CA DMV site and looked it up and it looks like I will not be able to take traffic school for 25+ over. Is that right? I think probably if I went to a court since I have a clean record I could probably get the judge to allow me to take driving school, but that is like 2 hours away.
Just wondering how much I should worry about this... should I just wait to get the ticket in the mail and see if they will allow me to take driving school or not? And is it such a big deal to pay for a ticket? Does it count on my record in AZ?
Thanks... boy do I feel stupid...
