That's so cheap...
You get a ticket in California and look it up in the motor vehicle code and see things like speeding - $120.

Then you get the paperwork and find out it's more than $400. The last speeding ticket I got was $485. 80 in a 70. I'd been doing 100 for hours so I guess I was lucky. :/

Did the cop knock it down to 10 over? Quite often on the east coast if the limit is 65 and they clock you at 78, they'll write it for 75.

The NJ Turnpike used to be simple, the ticket had the fine and where to mail it to right on it. Now you have to go online to find out the cost of that ticket by serial number and sometimes it doesn't come up for days, even a week. Very easy to get busy and miss the payment window.
