I was given a ticket for 22348(b) which is driving in excess of 100 MPH
The speed was 104 and it was at 12:45 am
I live in California
I have had my provisional license for a little over 7 months, what do you think is in store?
How old are you? Your age and the fact that the license was provisional will have additional significance. Here is the section for which you were cited.
Advice, get good walking shoes, bicycle and learn to use public transportation, be ready to pay some hefty fines and higher insurance once you are able to drive again.
