Denis W. Veteran Posted June 21, 2007 Veteran Share Posted June 21, 2007 LMAO. And I thought the licensing system here was anal enough. #6: lol. Passengers finally get tickets. #7: Great. More accidents caused by people staring at their speedometers. :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S. Veteran Posted June 21, 2007 Veteran Share Posted June 21, 2007 Amazing the difference in the East and West coasts. My last speeding ticket here was $75 for going 15 over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doli Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Hoax email purports to share a set of new California traffic laws effective January 1, 2007 (or July 1, 2007 in a later variant) And # 5 will be true next year because fines are doubled in construction zones but the cell phone (you will be ok if your using an hands free device) law doesnt take place until 2008.
