Best Answer

Talking on your cell phone while driving is illegal in California. Hands free devices are allowed.

From the Los Angeles Times: "The first offense will result in a $20 ticket, and subsequent citations are $50 apiece. But with court costs and penalties, the true costs of those tickets are $76 and $190, respectively."

Here are some personal experiences and how much the ticket was:

  • I just received my ticket for talking on the phone while driving and it was for $124!
  • I just got one in San Francisco on 3-11-09, now they want $132.00 PLUS a $6.00 convenience fee to pay on line. I'm going to have to fight it just to buy time. This is ridiculous when the state fine is only $20 for the first offense.
  • Just got one in Los Angeles for $142 plus a $10 e-convenience fee. Curious... has anyone successfully fought or reduced these tickets?
  • The current cost of violation is $167 for talking on the phone in Westminster, Orange County. I just paid mine on 4/16/10. There is not first offense. The Judge as soon as you have a phone on your hand is considered talking on the phone.
  • I just got one in Big Bear California...Bail was $170.00....5/17/2011

How much are cdl truck driver violation tickets in California?

A cdl truck driver that receives a speeding ticket has more to worry about than just the fine. A serious CDL violation such as a 25 over speeding ticket can cost you your job not to mention the increase in your personal car insurance. In general a cdl truck driver should contest any California speeding ticket he receives. Normally you will receive what is known as a courtesy notice from the California traffic court within two to three weeks of the violation. It will tell you how much is the fine. California has some of the highest speeding ticket fines in the nation. The fine can vary from county to county so only the California traffic court can tell you the amount. You must take care of the ticket by your court date even if you do not receive the courtesy notice or they will usually suspend your license and issue a warrant. The traffic court location is on the ticket and you can Google for their phone number. Usually it is difficult to get through on the phone.

Nope!
