    What do you mean by worse? How many people did you kill, and how much property damage did you cause in the process of committing the violation?

    If you mean more expensive, you'll need to provide more details. In my county, the base bail for a 22350 (1-15 mph over) and a 21461 are the same ($35).

    How did you figure out what state was involved?

    Heh, true. I should have said, "where I live" and left it at that.

    i got caught speeding, and the officer didnt give me a ticket for speeding but instead it was a violation of traffic control devices.
    why is that?

    This sounds like Fla. What code were you cited for? If it is Fla., the officer did indeed give you a break. Possibly because if they cited you for the speed you were going it would add more points to your license than just the simple violation of a TCD.

    yea it is in Florida. I dont know how to find the code i was cited for. How can I find that?
    and like he said, the officer said i was going 20 mph above the speed limit, which i really find hard to believe.

    it also says on the ticket that its section: 316.074

    That is the correct code. Do you have any other questions?
