I was doing 58 in a 35, listening to a horrible story of child abuse that came on the radio and i was so horrified and mesmerized by the story I spaced going through a tiny 'town' on a back road in California. Didn't see the signs even tho I know the area.
The cop reduced the speed to 50 in a 35.
Any idea how much this will cost me? I have some tight budgeting ahead and I won't know for sure until it comes in the mail in a few weeks.
Like $150 or more like $350?

no matter what the price, you can go to court to have the fine reduced. Don't pass that up.

Yikes. Usually that is considered reckless driving if you're going 15 or more over the speed limit.

Just battled my first one ever.
They clocked me at 39 in a 25. Fine was assessed at $175 and 4 points.
I went to court and chiseled it down to ... drumroll please ... $175 and 3 points.
Trust me, the cop cut you a major deal by dialing it back to 50.

Tell me it wasn't a construction zone!?!
My sister got clocked going 70 in a 55 zone that was also a construction area. The ticket was $600.

These are steep!
I will just have to hope for the best and wait.
It wasn't a construction zone, it was a little town that's a few extra houses on a road where the normal speed limit is 55, except for just before and after the town when it's 35. If you blink you miss it and I blinked.

If your ticket does not give the amounts, check to see if the court has a website. The costs of the tickets should be there.
