Need some help....
I just got ticketed this morning for 'Failure To Obey Traffic Sign' today (code 61.4.10TME). I got along well with the officer and he was really cool with me (we even chatted and I invited him to my business
. I was supposed to get a 55 in 35 zone, but he was lenient and just cited me for an infraction for the Failure To Obey Traffic Sign (which is not a moving violation and doesn't count on my insurance or driving record).
Does anyone know how much this 'roughly' costs in So.Cal? I know it really depends on the jurisdiction, etc., but just a rough idea since I've never had a ticket in my life before.

Sorry to hear about your ticket Patrick, but DRANGED is correct. Failure to stop at a STOP sign is a moving violation. An infraction means you don't get any jail time and it's not a criminal offense. Luckily he didn't hit you with a double whammy on the speeding though. Not sure how much it's gonna cost ya, but good luck!

Are you sure that "Failure to Obey A Traffic Sign" isn't a moving violation? You might want to check into to that a little further, a traffic sign is used for vehicles in motion making it a moving violation. The fine may be less but I think it is a moving violation and will count on insurance and your record. I could be wrong.... Good Luck

As for the 'Failure To Obey Sign', I didn't disobey any Stop signs or lights as there were none. I was actually rushing to make an appointment and the cop was hiding in an alley when I passed his spot. He pulled me over and mentioned that I was speeding, but then came back and told me he would not give me a ticket and we just chatted for a bit and I was on my way. He did mention to make sure and pay the citation by the date listed so that I could get it cleared (?)

Haha... sorry dude!
Didn't mean to burst your holiday bubble, but call the courts. The # should be on the back of your ticket. They will be able to answer all your questions.

Looks like you edited your previous post. Yeah, I think your good then. He sited you for failure to obey the traffic sign (i.e. speed limit). Sorry to make you shart your pants dude!
Next time be more specific! ![Tongue](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/tongue.gif)
