Amazing how a simple question with a simple answer can garner so much misinformation.
The statewide schedule for traffic fines provides for a fine here of $266. Your fine will be within a few dollars one way or the other. Going 19 mph over the limit is NOT reckless driving, and you CANNOT go to jail for it. It is ONE point on your DMV record.
You are probably eligible for traffic school, which will cost a bit more, but will keep it off your record so it will not be a point and won't affect your insurance.
It looks like you can pay a traffic ticket online in Riverside, but NOT get traffic school. That probably can be handled through the mail, however. |

It will be a lot. 25mph zone sounds like a school zone. SLOW DOWN. |

About $500. And don't forget the points on your license and the subsequent increase in your insurance premiums. Isn't speeding FUN???? |

Ouch! That could be considered reckless driving. Hope it wasn't Riverside County Sheriff's Department that popped you. They go for the money every time!
Either way, you are into the hundreds and maybe traffic school. |

is it just a speed ticket or are they getting you for reckless? if its for a speed ticket about $390. I think you got to be 20 over for it to be reckless..sounds like this cop let you off easy.
ALL CALIFORNIANS SLOWDOWN..life is tooo short anyway. |

Your ticket should say the amount OR just stop a cop and ask if he/she can look it up in their bond book. I think 19 over will get you about 300-400 with a few points off. |

Go to court and call the cop a liar, the judge may side with you, or if the cop doesn't show you win, or plead guilty, pay the fine and ask for traffic school, that way it doesn't go on your record. Don't know about the fine. |

Do you like Alcatraz----pay the ticket whatever the cost---if they put you on probation and suspend your license DO NOT DRIVE like some INFAMOUS BLONDIE did recently----you don't want to have to go to jail for 45 days (23 with good behavior and one day off for a panic attack).... 44 isn't all that bad---maybe 4 points on your license and $300 UNLESS your cop is a real ROOKIE--then it might be more--since rookies always are trying to be BY THE BOOK to prove themselves. and they always show up at court UNLESS you just plead guilty and then they will just send you a bill... OH but guess what ---your CAR insurance will either go UP or get canceled all together----.. |
