The applicable law for the violation is set forth in the California Vehicle Code.
A person who drives a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than 100 miles per hour is guilty of an infraction punishable, as follows: (1) Upon a first conviction of a violation of this subdivision, by a fine of not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500). The court may also suspend the privilege of the person to operate a motor vehicle for a period not to exceed 30 days pursuant to Section 13200.5. (2) Upon a conviction under this subdivision of an offense that occurred within three years of a prior offense resulting in a conviction of an offense under this subdivision, by a fine of not to exceed seven hundred fifty dollars ($750). The person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle shall be suspended by the Department of Motor Vehicles pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 13355. (3) Upon a conviction under this subdivision of an offense that occurred within five years of two or more prior offenses resulting in convictions of offenses under this subdivision, by a fine of not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000). The person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle shall be suspended by the Department of Motor Vehicles pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 13355. The offense constitutes a two point infraction which means it will stay on a DMV record for seven years, the same as a reckless driving or a DUI.
Vehicle Code 13355 also provides for mandatory suspensions under certain conditions as follows: The department shall immediately suspend the privilege of any person to operate a motor vehicle upon receipt of a duly certified abstract of the record of any court showing that the person has been convicted of a violation of subdivision (b) of Section 22348, or upon a receipt of a report of a judge of a juvenile court, a juvenile hearing officer, or a referee of a juvenile court showing that the person has been found to have committed a violation of subdivision (b) of Section 22348 under the following conditions and for the periods, as follows: (a) Upon a conviction or finding of an offense under subdivision (b) of Section 22348 that occurred within three years of a prior offense resulting in a conviction of an offense under subdivision (b) of Section 22348, the privilege shall be suspended for a period of six months, or the privilege shall be restricted for six months to necessary travel to and from the person's place of employment and, if driving a motor vehicle is necessary to perform the duties of the person's employment, restricted to driving within the person's scope of employment. (b) Upon a conviction or finding of an offense under subdivision (b) of Section 22348 that occurred within five years of two or more prior offenses resulting in convictions of offenses under subdivision (b) of Section 22348, the privilege shall be suspended for a period of one year, or the privilege shall be restricted for one year to necessary travel to and from the person's place of employment and, if driving a motor vehicle is necessary to perform the duties of the person's employment, restricted to driving within the person's scope of employment. The violation will almost always result in increased insurance costs.
A common question is whether a person guilty of the offense can attend traffic school to dismiss the ticket, the answer is generally no unless the judge makes extraordinary findings. A defense lawyer can often intervene on behalf of the client and request a reduction to a one point offense or lower charge.
It is not that this beloved car is better than an M3, but it is indeed on par with it and some of the best sports coupes out there.
The Z3 M Coupe is a perfectly balanced car that screams to be driven and driven well.
It handles like a dream, has gobs of grab you by the eh'hems power, and has a look that makes anyone and everyone check it when at speed or standing still in a parking lot.
Yes, the M Coupe is one incredible ride, and if you do get the chance to drive one, let alone own one, DO IT!
You know how an image on Silly Putty gets distorted when you pull it? Well, this is what this car looks like to me...a Silly Putty version of a 911. Needless to say I don't care for the Silly-putty version of a 911.
Affording one of these is not the question. Porsche is and has always been about two things, Performance and Aesthetics. I have no doubt they nailed the performance side of this equation, however the verdict has been handed down on the other side.
She was white, and the pride of my 17th year on this rock! That poor little car (PLC) took a beating from the beginning. Even before I got to drive her some a-hole decided she wasn't sweet enough and put some sugar in my gas tank. Yes, the first time I got to drive her was away from the local shop after she had been purged.
As for powerful memories...there were many. Most of them stem from me and the guys driving through the streets, windows down, screaming "Just a Friend" by Biz Markie. Yes, that's right 3 white guys...can you picture it. Ah memories.
Well she met her demise one day when her linkage decided it didn't want to come out of 4th gear. So, I decided to park her along side the road for a couple of days until I could get back to tow her away...well the pokey beat me to it. I caught up with her a couple weeks later, but decided to let the junk yard keep her...May she rest in pieces...
Am I the only one that thinks the pics of the half-door model resemble the old VW thing? Yes I know that is blasphemy, but seriously I see a bit of 'Thing' in there...not that there's anything wrong with that!
Screw the Merc, check out the BMW 2002 in the back ground (only one of BMW's best cars). Okay true it isn't a 600 hp monster, but still a very fine ride even in today's technologically superior arena.
Okay, first and foremost...congrats to Ferrari for at least looking moderately decent on the track for the opener.
That said, however, WELL DONE to Kimi for bring that car up like he did. Seriously if McLaren could handle its reliability issues they would be a very hard team to keep down.
This kind of gives entirely new meaning to the word mailbomb...I would hate to think what someone could do with this and one of those annoying watch battery powered birthday cards.
