California Traffic Fines: Division 3 - Registration
Few things are more exasperating that being pulled over by CHP or the police. One of those things is being completely in the dark as to how much your traffic fines will amount to. It is rather hard to make any decision regarding your ticket, defense strategy and your plan of attack without knowing the bail amount. So, we at Ticket Busters of California have put together the following pages to help you determine the fine amount.
Below are the various bail schedules for the California Vehicle Code. Please choose which area of traffic violation you are interested in. We have used the bail schedules of Los Angeles County but these are simply a sample California traffic fines schedule and each county has their own set of traffic fines.
