    Who says Mexico wants California? Seriously, would you want all the Hollywood idiots, liberals, illegal immigrants, and whatnot? Heck, parts of California are filled with Mexicans that Mexico doesn't want! That's why they are in Cali in the first place. Forcing Mexico to take Cali might start another Mexican-American War!:biggrin_2559:

    On my first load to L. A., got a speeding, hammer lane , and log book ticket all at the same time. Got an attorney. My court date happened to be on the second day of the L. A. riots, so the arresting officer (CHP) wasn't able to appear in court. Ticket dismissed, payed $300 lawyer fee. Never got another ticket in Ca.

    With a lawyer is not a big deal to fix a speedingticket en Cali.only you have to pay a 200-300$ fine for you mistake,nothing more, cost only money

    if everyone would refuse to go to Cali, they would quit being so obstinate to truckers especially the out o state.

    When you pay you fine without a lawyer.you have a speedingticket on you record and maybe troubles with you job,look for a lawyer and fixed to have a clean report ,now with CSA is bad to have a speedingticket fixed

I-5. first time farther north then sacramento on I-5. I pulled into the FJ in Fraiser Park. pulled out, just got off the on ramp, 7th gear, jake on since i was coming down on the grapevine.... and all of asudden i have sirens nxt to me telling me to pull over behind the other truck...i was like wtf!! so i pulled over in front of the flatbed, and the cop pulled infront of me. he didtn say much, asked for mypapers and license. then came back with a ticket and said i was doing 65/55.... and gave a ticket to the other guy too. there was no way in hell i was going that fast...he knew i wouldnt come back and fight it, so i ended up paying $519 for the dang thing!!! errrrrr. hate cali, jerks...
