$197 tickets are excessive.

Speeding tickets weren’t even that high 10 years ago.

Turn right on a red light without a complete stop here in Cali...that'll cost you over $500.

Citizens clamored about the high fines a few years ago. The legislature passed MAXIMUM fines. Now, they just add "fees" to each fine to jack them up well beyond the maximum.

It’s around $385 for a ticket where you are on your phone and driving. About $200 for not buckling your seat belt.

Signs on the freeway remind you that fines double in a construction zone.

My average parking ticket runs around $45.00 to $75.00.

On the cost of the ticket, you are RIGHT!! I forgot to include that point.
A $10.00 ticket that had to be paid IN PERSON at town hall would be more of a deterent, I think.
But it is still the walker who loses.
