CA is the only place I’ve driven where they tell you what the fine is right there on the sign.
Ya gotta remember this is Taxifornia, make sure you read the whole sign! It states what the minimum fine is, once you get to court you find out about all the little extra add ons like, night court , funding the CHP, etc., etc., trust me what you see on the sign is only the begining.
Probably a lot of rear-enders occur because people are reading the wordy signs.
