Where did you get the ticket? Should say on it. Most times you connect to the local court with the citation number and get it all done complete with traffic school referrals via email.

PS: if you want Stone Crabs, closest thing I've found to visiting them in S. Beach:

Trakcar just reminded me another reason to continue with the Arrive & Drive....I can't drive 55mph on the freeway which means I shouldn't ever get any car that can tow a trailer.

65 in the right lane is fine.

75 in the left lane running over priuiii is another story!

USC just keep denying it.... :-)

Log into the traffic school and hire someone to take it for you. Keep a cell phone handy in case it asked for something personal. $100 bucks and 8hrs later, you're done.

True dat, I tried to follow him from Autobahn to Road America and he left me in his exhaust, though as I did keep close enough to hear his Air Horn.

You should be able to see online in the next week or so, need to know what county you got it in:
http://ca.gov/Driving/LawsSafety/TrafficFines.html

At bottom, link for traffic schools, select online option. There are some FAQ there too. And also how to file appeal... but good luck with CHP. Never had luck with that. City cops another matter.
Thanks!!

Its not ideal for the truck brakes we found out, we melted 2 rear calipers to be replaced on the next pit stop.. Not Senna's ghost, but me neither, they never would have caught me..

It finally came home after being at Zotz Racing in Orlando babied it, I crashed it in March, shipped it to California for a few months, back to Orlando to pretty it up it's finally home.

I'm traveling so have not seen it yet and my 93 Beirut Bomber also comes home Monday all prettied up as well. 2 20+ year old (cheapish) cars and I weirdly excited about driving them again next week after many months of boring.

Thought I post a link on these old threads for those with no interest in automatics. Not a Mancation either, picking up the car with wifey :-)
