1. First time carpool violation is not $271 as posted, the signs are not valid, the actual ticket is $1068.50 for the first violation, doubled the second, tripled the third, and you license is suspended the fourth.

2.Incorrect lane change, crossing solid line on intersection now $380.

3. Blocking the intersection now $485.

4.Driving on the shoulder now $450

5.Cell phone use during any of these violations: doubled. that means third violation carpool while on the cell phone, possibly $6411.00 if that interpretation is correct.

Watch your asses on the road.

Pass this on...

1. Carpool lane: The 1st time $1068.50 starting 1/1/07 (NOT $271, posted on the highway is old). Don't do it again because the 2nd time is going to be double. The 3rd time triple and the 4th time license suspended.

2. Incorrect lane change $380. Don't cross lane on solid lanes or intersection.

3. Block intersection - $485

4. Driving on the shoulder - $450

5. Cell phone on the construction zone. - Double fine

6. Passengers over 18 not in the seatbelts - both passengers and driver get tickets [Click it or Ticket!]

7. Speeders can only drive 3 miles above the limit.


8. DUI = JAIL [Doesn't it always??????] 9. People driving on the left-most lane will be cited if they are going the same speed OR slower than the right lane.
