HUGE California Traffic Tickets Fines Effective 01/06/2011

California drivers - be advised that traffic ticket fines are increasing substantially in 2011.

Effective immediately, if you do not stop at the red light, be ready to pay $436 in fines or if you pass a school bus with flashing red signals, you will be charged $616.

The state of California is increasing fines, perhaps in an effort to increase state revenue, so be sure to use care when driving (as you really should in general, anyway).

I have a feeling there will be more radar guns and highway traffic cameras out there.

There will probably be tougher enforcement of parking rules also.

So the next time you park in the handicapped zone, even for a minute, you will be looking at almost $ 1000 in parking tickets.  Think twice as to whether or not it's worth the risk!

So please all of you fellow California drivers:  plan accordingly and give yourself ample time to get to where you need to be so that you don't end up driving like a maniac and having to pay the price.  Not to mention the affect it may have on your auto insurance.

And whatever you do, PLEASE don't blame the patrol officer.  They don't create the laws, they just do their job and enforce them.
