Category overview
Speeding tickets are some of the most common California traffic citations, but they are not all the same. This category covers the major speeding-related CVC sections, including maximum speed limits, the basic speed law, and situations where radar, pacing, visibility, or speed-trap rules matter.
If you are trying to decide whether to pay, use traffic school, or fight the ticket by mail, these pages are meant to help you compare the code section, likely fine range, DMV point impact, and the kinds of defenses that actually matter in a Trial by Written Declaration.

Category FAQ
The most common speeding tickets usually involve CVC 22349 and CVC 22350. Those sections cover maximum speed limits and the broader basic speed law, but the facts of the stop and the officer’s evidence still matter.
Often yes. Many speeding citations are eligible for Trial by Written Declaration, which lets you submit a written defense and evidence without appearing in court in person.
Most standard speeding tickets add one DMV point. That can affect insurance, which is one reason drivers often compare traffic school and written-defense options before just paying the citation.
