Wednesday is "Zero Tolerance Day."

From speeding and tailgating to unsafe lane changes and seat-belt enforcement, California Highway Patrol on Interstate 80, and Highways 49 and 65 in the Auburn area will be paying closer attention to driving violations linked to a majority of collisions, a California Highway Patrol press release said.
yikes! is that for only Wednesday or every Wednesday?

I'm not sure how much yet. They will probably send me something in the mail soon. I'm guessing about 300 bucks though
Good luck man...I was doing 84 on a 65. I think it's wreckless driving if it's above 20mph. Don't quote me on that though. My ticket is 390 + cost of traffic school.

wreckless is 25mph over isn't it? and you don't get the option of traffic school. will have to fight by trial by declaration

Yah wreckless is 20 over, the book says no traffic school but it is still up to the judge. I got a wreckless ticket in the S a few months back. My record was clear, and havnt done traffic school in 2 years, so judge cut the fine in half from 1200 to 600 with traffic school. I got lucky lol

Thanks for the heads up. Personally, I'm not a fan of Zero Tolerance, seems like a revenue generating exercise with little to do with safety.

Roseville PD got me this past Saturday. It sucks but what do you expect from a newly purchased s2000? Lol Anyways it only took me about three months from getting my car for this to happen. Maybe I'm lucky I went three months without one haha Anybody else have the blues from a recently acquired ticket?
Hey I live in roseville, where did they get ya?

My valentine v1 just came today haha, you have to know how to use it though. And it detects laser scatter.

Seems like going 74 in a 45 zone has little to do with safety either. Check out the track and autocross threads at the top of the page. They'll get you your speed fix more safely than on the street.
WHOLLY OUT OF CONTEXT BATMAN....
