No proof of insurance ticket in Southern California?
California Vehicle Code section 16028, subdivision (e): "A person issued a notice to appear for a violation of subdivision (a) may personally appear before the clerk of the court, as designated in the notice to appear, and provide written evidence of financial responsibility in a form consistent with Section 16020, showing that the driver was in compliance with that section at the time the notice to appear for violating subdivision (a) was issued. In lieu of the personal appearance, the person may submit by mail to the court written evidence of having had financial responsibility at the time the notice to appear was issued. Upon receipt by the clerk of that written evidence of financial responsibility in a form consistent with Section 16020, further proceedings on the notice to appear for the violation of subdivision (a) shall be dismissed." California Vehicle Code section 40611, subdivision (a): "Upon proof of correction of an alleged violation of Section 12500 or 12951, or any violation cited pursuant to Section 40610, or upon submission of evidence of financial responsibility pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 16028, the clerk shall collect a ten dollar ($10) transaction fee for each case…" So, expect to pay the speeding ticket fine, the optional traffic school fee (if given the option), and the $10 correction fee, which is roughly $750 cheaper than the original fines. */End of Line.
Speeding ticket, "no insurance" in California?
I was driving 75 mph in a 65 mph zone in Los Angeles, CA when I was pulled over. The cop asked me for my license, registration, and proof of insurance. I had my AAA membership card with me and gave it to him, but I didn't have the little slip of paper that has my policy number on it. Apparently, that wasn't enough, and he wrote me a ticket for BOTH speeding and not having insurance. What are my chances of getting a successful appeal? I was insured at the time of the ticket but just didn't have my policy number with me. And what is a good estimate for the speeding ticket? Also, I noticed that I actually handed the officer the wrong registration papers. I gave him an expired one, which showed the registered owner of the car as my dad. However, the current registered owner is me. The officer didn't notice that the registration paper I gave him was expired, and consequently wrote down the wrong information. Can I use this to my advantage in court?

CVC Section 16029. 16029. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a violation of subdivision (a) of Section 16028 is an infraction and shall be punished as follows: (a) Upon a first conviction, by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars ($100) and not more than two hundred dollars ($200), plus penalty assessments. (b) Upon a subsequent conviction, occurring within three years of a prior conviction, by a fine of not less than two hundred dollars ($200) and not more than five hundred dollars ($500), plus penalty assessments. The penalty for a first violation of CVC section 16028 is usually set at the maximum allowed by law which is $200 (2nd/subsequent violation at the max of $500). Including penalty assessment, that translates into $760 for a 1st violation (2nd/subsequent violation is penalized by a fine + P. A. of $1900). However, a license suspension is NOT part of the options available to the court. Although pursuant to subsection (c) of CVC section 16029, the court can order that the vehicle be impounded for no insurance: (c) (1) At the discretion of the court, for good cause, and in addition to the penalties specified in subdivisions (a) and (b), the court may order the impoundment of the vehicle for which the owner could not produce evidence of financial responsibility in violation of subdivision (a) of Section 16028.
I got a ticket for no insurance, but now the car is totaled. what should I do?
The fact that your car has been totaled only affects the need for insurance in the future. Obviously, without a car, you do not need insurance. However, it has absolutely no bearing on the citation you already received for driving without insurance. You will still have to attend whatever court date(s) you were assigned for that citation.When you appear in court, the judge may ask you if you have acquired insurance for your car yet? That would be a good time to tell the judge that you no longer have the car and you no longer need insurance for it. The judge may ask what happened to the car, so explain how the car was totaled. If you crashed the car while driving it after getting your no-insurance citation, the judge may not have much sympathy for you.If you live in a State which requires insurance for all cars on the road, you may be facing a mandatory minimum fine amount. In Illinois, the minimum fine for driving without insurance is $500. That's they minimum, mind you. The judge may decide to fine a higher amount, up to the maximum allowed by your local law.

California Speeding Ticket reduced - will insurance skyrocket?
I am puzzled concerning what happened here. The maximum fine for a first offense of violating Veh C 22349(a) (exceeding the maximum speed limit) is about $445. So I don't know what was worked out to allow a fine that high. That said, if this was a 22349(a) conviction, then the only report which will go to DMV will be that there was a violation of that section. That will be one point, and insurance companies are limited to considering what the DMV counts--not what might have happened. A dismissed infraction can never be revived. (Pen C 1387.) Traffic violations can be considered by DMV for purposes of finding a person to be a negligent driver for 36 months. Other time limits apply to misdemeanor or felony offenses (e.g., a DUI can be alleged to increase punishment in a later DUI for 10 years), but this is not a misdemeanor or felony offense. BTW, a violation of 22348(b) is NOT reckless (or even wreckless) driving. (For some reason, there seem to be several people who identify themselves as "Rock Firestorm," and none of them know the law.) ADD: Veh C 22356(b) is driving over 70 mph. Nobody is at the mercy of the judge as to fines, because the maximum fine is set by the Legislature. The maximum fine for a first offense on most traffic violations, including 22356(b), is $100. There are a lot of assessments which get added to that, but it still cannot total over about $450. You might check with your attorney to find out how such a high fine was imposed.
What is the penalty for driving without insurance in California?
Caught in a random check. Drivers caught operating a vehicle without valid insurance will be fined anywhere from $100 to $200 for a first offense, and between $200 and $500 for a second offense. Additionally, your vehicle may be impounded and towed away, in which case you will not be able to get it back until you obtain insurance and pay all towing and storage fees. Get into an accident. In California, your license will be suspended, possibly for up to four years. Bear in mind that this can happen whether or not you are at fault for the accident. You may be able to get your license reinstated after one year if you obtain valid insurance, provide proof of it to the DMV and pay a reissuance fee. You will also be required to obtain an SR-22 Proof of Financial Responsibility certificate and carry an additional high-cost SR-22 insurance policy on top of your regular one. Your vehicle may be impounded and towed from the scene. If that happens, you will be required to pay towing and storage fees before your vehicle is returned to you. Civil costs for an accident without insurance. If you are the party at fault, then you are responsible for the cost of all resulting damage. And that means everything: damage to all vehicles involved; and all medical costs for injuries to yourself, the other driver and any third-parties. This includes damage to other public and private property such as street signs and lights, bus stop fixtures, store fronts, etc. California requires all drivers to carry uninsured motorist coverage. Uninsured motorist coverage means that if the other driver in your accident has it, his insurance company will compensate him for his losses even if the accident is your fault.Don't think that you are safe because of it. In fact, if you have assets, the other driver’s insurance company is likely to sue you to recover their costs. For e.g. suppose you get into an accident that is your fault resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in damage. If you have no vehicle insurance, but own a home with $100,000 in equity, the other party’s insurance company is likely to sue you to recover the thousands it paid out to their client. And you may lose your home.
Traffic Ticket Code help? California?
VC means Vehicle Code. Both 16028 (driving without proof of insurance) & 22350 (speeding) are the vehicle code sections that your dad was cited for. He just got a warning on the speeding, so he won't have to pay a fine or anything. If he really was insured & simply didn't have proof of insurance on him, he should appear in court & explain that. Make absolutely SURE he brings proof showing he was insured at the time. Chances are, the judge will dismiss the charge or at least reduce the fine to a minimum. It's still possible he'll have to pay the full fine, since he was technically in violation because he didn't have proof of insurance at the time. But most judges are lenient in this kind of situation.
