Hi, this is for my friend, honestly, it is. We both live in California and he has a Red 325is and he was given a ticket for speeding 105MPH in a 65MPH. That's all I know right now. What kind of ticket is that? Is it just a regular speeding ticket? Can he go to traffic school to have the ticket disappear?

Normally most judges in California will not allow traffic school for speed offenses that high. In fact, anything in access of 100 mph is subject to a license suspension, see below.

Also keep in mind even though the Vehicle Code states the fine will not exceed $500, the judge can and often does levy fees and court costs well beyond that limit. I have a close friend whose son was ticketed by the CHP for 110 mph in a posted 65 mph zone. he was fined $1600 and his license was pulled for 30 days.

Tell your friend to dress well, be polite and hope the judge let's him keep his license, but he needs to bring his check book to court.
