THE LOS ANGELES TIMES HAS AN ARTICLE ON:

HUGE California Traffic Tickets Fines Effective 01/06/2011
Please be extremely careful in your driving and car registration & insurance
matters. State of California is broke and they are trying hard to squeeze
all of us hard to collect money.

Effective immediately, if you do not stop at the red light, be ready to pay
$436 in fines or if you pass a school bus with flashing red signals, you will
be charged $616. The state of California is going for blood, so be extra
careful in driving, You cannot afford messing with them. I have been hearing
that Highway Patrols are under pressure to issue a lot more tickets than last
year with at least 30% increase in fines over 2009, so beware of radar guns,
highway and traffic cameras installed everywhere and the tougher enforcement
of parking rules.

Just for your info, the next time you park in the handicapped zone, even for
a minute, you will be looking at almost $ 1000 in parking tickets , so it'd
better be worth it.

California needs money, so pay close attention to the rules of the road!
