Got a traffic ticket today for not turning my headlights on when using my windshield wipers for wiping mist off my windows in daylight hours here in California. My question is, is it a major infraction with traffic school or is it just a ticket that involve with just a fine? I‘m right now mad as hell and just really feel like I got suckered punched by the law.
Hahaha, it is humorous.i admire your humorousness. would desire to element out nonetheless, cops do no longer hand out parking tickets, by using-regulation Enforcement officers have that undaunting job. i will additionally assure you in the event that they found your motor vehicle and it had no windshield wipers you does no longer get a cost tag. Your motor vehicle would be towed and impounded as an volatile motor vehicle so the parking value ticket would have been form of candy once you notice the bill for that one.
Check your ticket, it should say. But here's the thing, if you did not get any points, then there are no points to remove. Traffic school is generally to remove points from your driving record. You may have to just pay the fine.
Let off the gas. You are engine braking. When you get close to lugging the engine, shift down and let off the gas and you will be engine braking again.
California Vehicle Code # 24400 requires drivers to use headlights in darkness or inclement weather. The fine is $146 with 0 points. The code was amended a few years ago to include mandatory headlight use if: A condition requiring the windshield wipers to be in continuous use due to rain, mist, snow, fog, or other precipitation or atmospheric moisture. The link to the vehicle code is listed below. After that link below is the link for the 2010 California fine for traffic infractions. CVC #24400 is on page 27 of Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedule at that link. If you were cited for a different CVC that code should be listed there as well. No reason to be mad at the law. Using headlights in inclement weather is for the safety of yourself, other vehicles and pedestrians. It helps those outside your vehicle see your vehicle. The $146 is a pain in the neck, but a relatively cheap life lesson. We all make mistakes.
