I could've bought the second most expensive vintage bike to add to my collection.
Ok, you live in California, no wonder. California is hard up for money so they'll write you a ticket without blinking, which is why the cost of a speeding ticket for doing less than 20 over plus the school went from $125 to $500, that's insanity, it probably would have been cheaper if you hadn't gone to traffic school and just paid the dang ticket. Calif about 10 years before I moved just started the program where you had to pay the ticket and the cost to go to driving school, but the pts wouldn't show up unless you got another ticket within 3 years than the pts from the first and second one all appear at once. Because of that is why I said I would never go to traffic school and the first ticket, wait and see if you get a second one within 3 years of the first, then go to traffic school on that one to eliminate the 2nd set of pts. Chance are you wouldn't get a 2nd ticket in 3 years, so you win the game except for the fine for the ticket, but that would still be cheaper than paying for the school on top of that. California is a scam state.
