I barely got a ticket for exhibition of speed in California. Police officer saw me peel out from a stop (not a stop sign) in a non residential area. I was not trying to show off I was just testing out my car. I know that is not an excuse. He must have saw me from far away and heard because on my ticket he did not write that I was speeding. He just wrote exhibition of speed VC23109(c) and its a misdemeanor. My question is what are the consequences for this? I know its a 2 point violation but is their anyway that I can see the judge and ask for traffic school or if they can reduce the fine? This is my first ever Misdemeanor and my last speeding ticket was about 1 1/2 years ago. So my driving record is clean. Well it was till this ticket. I've tried looking for information on this on Google, but I couldn't find anything. I know I did wrong, I didn't try making an excuse I just told the him that yes you saw me and that im sorry. Im just glad he didn't impound my car. From what I read im looking at about 500$+ fine? Is a misdemeanor a criminal charge? is there anyway that I can have it lowered to an infraction.
If it helps I was around a factory place it was sunny clear skies, no traffic and no pedestrians or cars anywhere on that street.
I know that I was at fault for this and that the officer was just doing his job. I just want to know what to expect when I go to court? thanks for any input.
