This is an old story, but I thought it was worth posting,
this time with the new FEE amounts.

HUGE California Traffic Tickets Fines Effective 01/06/2011
Please be extremely careful in your driving and car
registration & insurance matters. State of California is
broke and they are trying hard to squeeze all of us hard to
collect money.
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 going for blood, so be extra careful
in driving, You cannot afford messing with them. I have
been hearing that Highway Patrols are under pressure to
issue a lot more tickets than last year with at least 30%
increase in fines over 2009, so beware of radar guns,
highway and traffic cameras installed everywhere and the
tougher enforcement of parking rules.
Just for your info, the next time you park in the handicapped
zone, even for a minute, you will be looking at almost $1000
in parking tickets , so it'd better be worth it.
California needs money, so pay close attention to the rules of
the road!
