WTF ticket fees
So 2 weeks or so ago I got caught doing a "california stop" and CHP pulled me over.
Talked to me for a bit asking why I rolled it ect ect, was being a nice guy. Gave him all my info and he went back to run everything.
Thought he was going to be cool and let me off with a warning, but nope.. Got a ticket for it
But I cant really be too mad about that because I did after all roll the stop sign. But I get the ticket info in the mail today..
first off its $222.....
Then if I want to pay in payments, you have to pay upfront 25% of the total and a $35 fee for payment option.
Then I turn over the back and it says:
WHAT THE F!
SOOOOO if I want traffic school
a) cant make payments
b) pay an extra $56 for a "administrative fee"
c) also pay another $40ish for traffic school (already knew that tho)
The "admin fee" is ****ing bull****
Me:
:The State

Those fees are nothing "new". I had that same fee last year when I got my first Speeding ticket. To be honest, My average ticket has been $300, so to me a $222 ticket is a cheap ticket... I just crunched the numbers and I have already racked up over $1000 worth of tickets this year. Feels bad man.

Since you already said you fessed up to doing a roll your kinda stuck. The fee's are BS and like Jourdan said $222 seems pretty cheap like 2 years ago when I first got my ticket a lady in my traffic school had to pay $300+ and w.e for the school.
