Default Received Letter for Speeding 100+ but No Bail Amount
My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of California :
I was caught speeding at about 105 according to the citation. It was for 22348b Speeding in excess of 100mph. I've been reading about TBWD but most of the time people say to pay the bail. My courtesy letter didn't state a bail, it just gave me a day to goto court by. Am i able to still do a TBWD?

No. Not all tickets can be handled by TBWD.

The letter says show up in court. So show up in court.

Failure to do so will result in a warrant being issued for your arrest.

Missy... that's not right:

Quote:
40902. (a) (1) The court , pursuant to this section, shall, by
rule, provide that the defendant may elect to have a trial by written
declaration upon any alleged infraction, as charged by the citing
officer, involving a violation of this code or any local ordinance
adopted pursuant to this code, other than an infraction cited
pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 23152) of Chapter 12
of Division 11.
And, 22348(b) IS an infraction:

Quote:
22348(b) A person who drives a vehicle upon a highway at a speed
greater than 100 miles per hour is guilty of an infraction
punishable, as follows:
