Start fighting your traffic ticket in under a minute
Usually, you will receive a speeding ticket for going 90 in a 60 MPH zone if you receive the written violation code 22349 a vc.
A speeding ticket for driving thirty MPH over a 60 MPH speed limit will be approximately $490. However, it is worth noting that this can differ depending on the county or city in California where you were caught speeding. Certain counties do add on additional penalties that can raise the cost of the ticket by more than $100.
Where Can You Find Full Details Of Your Ticket Fine?
The full fine that you are expected to pay will appear on the courtesy notice. This should be sent out to you a couple of weeks after the date of the violation. Do be aware that courts are not required to send out a courtesy notice in California. If you do not receive a courtesy notice, then you will need to contact the specific court. They will be able to advise you on exactly how much you will need to pay for traveling at 90 MPH in a 60 MPH zone.
When Is This Type Of Ticket Not Valid?
A speed detection device such as lidar or radar will be used on arterials where the speed limit has been reduced below the maximum set point using a speed zone study. However, it’s important to understand that according to California Speed trap rules, the speed zone study needs to have been conducted based on the rules that have been laid out in California MUTCD.
If the speed zone study was not valid on the date of the speeding ticket, then it could be thrown out of court. Particularly if this is in regards to the 85th percentile speed.
It’s worth noting that this condition is not applicable in areas where the streets are less than forty feet wide or if the speed limit was violated in a school zone. However, here the speed limit will be 25 MPH.
Can You Fight A Speeding Ticket For Exceeding 60 MPH In a 30 MPH Zone?
Usually, you will receive violation code 22350 vc if you are caught speeding below the maximum speed of 65 MPH. There are numerous defense strategies that could be applicable in this type of situation.
If you were over 65 MPH then you will receive violation code 22349 a vc. There are different defenses that are available for this type of speeding ticket.
If you are driving at more than 70 MPH then there are also defenses that should be considered for this type of traffic violation. Do note that the speed you were traveling can have a significant impact on the fine that you will need to pay.
How Can You Fight A Speeding Ticket For Going 90 In A 65 MPH Zone?
If you want to fight a speeding ticket like this without attending court, then you will need to use a trial by written declaration. This can be sent directly to the relevant court. You need to make sure that you do include all the relevant information before you commit to this possibility.
Do note that you can choose to attend traffic school in California. However, there are additional costs that come with this option. You will also still be required to cover the full cost of the speeding ticket fine. So, this doesn’t save you any money. The main benefit of attending traffic school is that it will allow you to mask any DMV points that are added to your driving license due to the speeding violation.
Is Driving At 90 MPH A Felony?
In California, driving over 90 MPH is not classed as a felony. Excessive speeding is instead typically characterised as traveling at a speed that exceeds 100 MPH. This can result in an infraction and is punished with a fine of up to $500. You can also have your license suspended for 30 days.
Speeding in California at more than 15 MPH over the posted limit is considered to be reckless driving. If you are caught speeding over this limit, then you could be fined between $145 and $1000. You might also be sentenced to between 5 and 90 days of jail time. Again, this will differ depending on the area in California where the violation occurred.
If you are less than 10 MPH over the speed limit then it is unlikely that you will receive a citation. However, it’s important to note that this is not always the case.
