check your six ! - CALIFORNIA traffic fines up for 2010

[Pete Munroe]

A few of the 2010 California traffic fines that got my attention. (*) Apparently, most of these are increases in the fines...considering California is a now a VERY revenue hungry (ie:broke) state...could be some new legal zeal to enforce a few of these.
