WTF? Talk about an expensive lesson. How the hell can these cities and towns get away with exorbitant fines? Oh well, guess I shouldn't have done it in the first place.

What city?
In California, you're allowed 3 tickets in one year. Your fourth ticket is a six month suspension of your license.
The fines have nothing to do with how many you have - unless it's major stuff like DUIs or wreckless driving.
Cities for the most part are raising fines. The better the city, the bigger the fine. I ran a red light (yellow turned red before I crossed the line) in Beverly Hills a few years back and the ticket was like 398.
In Cal I don't think there are a lot of cheap tickets anymore. 4 years ago, I did get 4 tickets in one year, it was just one of those things, I went to traffic school for one so I didn't lose my license but the three I got were expensive (running a stop sign, 3 for speeding). But it the hike in insurance that makes me drive like an old lady now. -

What does that mean, "driving left of center"? Driving on the oncoming traffic lane?
I got a speeding ticket recently while driving a rental car. The rental car company is charging me $40. I still haven't been able to find out how much the actual ticket is going to cost me. Apparently I was going at 70 MPH in a 55 MPH zone. -

Driving left of center means you were crossing over middle into oncoming traffic, so sounds like it's really 2 tickets , one for speeding one for reckless driving.

Considered two separate violations. How much over the speed limit? Is the speed they wrote down accurate?

I don't know what driving left of centre is; if half the fine is for speeding, unless you were doing 180kmh, that's excessive.
Having said that, if an American drives like a typical American in my home state of Victoria they'll be going home with thousands of dollars in fines. Most of the time you won't even know you've been hit. -

We have a catalouge that applies to the entire country.
The fine (money and loss of the licence) depend on the speed, and if you were within or without the limit of built-up area: village, town, citywhatever.
My tickets ranged from 20 Euro min to 35 Euros max. The last oneoh no, a beep JewI hav

A normal speeding ticket (11-12 over) averages $160. A reckless driving ticket can be $500-$2500 and time in jail for 2nd/3rd offenses.
Hell, parking tickets are $75.
Sounds like reckless driving for crossing the yellow line since he had an attorney go with him.
Thats a clown question , BRO.
CLOSE the FRIGGEN BORDER ALREADY!!!
