My best advice would be to stop being a hot dog and start obeying the laws especially regarding speed limits. If you drove 111 I hope you lose your license for a good long while. Maybe by then you be have grown up enough to drive. Remember the person you kill with your driving might be ME.

To give you the right answer without all the polemics.
Driving at over 100 mph is a violation of Vehicle Code section 22348(b). The usual fine (including assessments) is around $760. The court can suspend your license for up to 30 days, but is not required to do so. Whether the judge will order such a suspension will depend a lot upon the court (with which I am not familiar) and upon you. Be on time, make a good impression, be contrite.
Since you went to traffic school on your previous ticket, this will show on your DMV record as a first offense. It is a two point violation, so it is unlikely that the DMV would take any additional action.

Ok, wait a minute. By your own words, you are "willing to pay and do everything not just to get suspended or something"? How about kill an 8-year old girl? Could you live with that? That's how old my last fatality was! She was 8-years old with beautiful brown hair, a stuffed Snoopy in her lap, and she knew the songs to over a dozen cartoons and other kids shows... and she's dead... at the hands off a 22-year old college student who was just out "having fun". Last month a jury gave him eight years of fun; 12 years actually, 8 years is with good time.
You are risking everything you have and are and everything of everyone else. You ARE NOT willing to do EVERYTHING, if you were, you wouldn't be driving like you had a rocket up your pants. The next fatality I get just might be you someday... or a person you kill.
Maybe you could go to your local police agency and, if they have them, sign up to do a ride-along with an officer. Then, you can get just a taste of what we see every day. WAKE UP!

California law is quite lenient, actually. To suspend a license, a driver must get:
4 points in 12 months
6 points in 24 months
8 points in 36 months
Each speeding ticket is 1 point, unless your speed was fast enough to be considered "reckless" in which case it's 2 points. Nevertheless, you haven't yet hit suspension point, but take this as a wake-up call to drive carefully and follow the law!

Where were you? Sacramento or truly north like Redding? I have driven both places for years and the road and traffic conditions do not support speeds of that sort. You are lucky to be alive. Thank God you did not kill anyone. I hope they take your license away for awhile. Give it some thought. Driving is a privilege, not a right.

It's because of retards like you that there are so many fatal accidents in socal. I hope you do get your license suspended, which will probably happen! Have fun walking everywhere, I hear the bus system is great.

Why the f***k did you drive at such high speed when the maximum limit is 70 mph. You should stick to the speed limit to avoid cancellation of license.

I don't think your license will be suspended because of this. But 111mph, it should be suspended. You're lucky you only got a ticket. Think of how it'd be if you accidentally killed someone at that speed. You'd go to prison.

There IS a second level traffic school but you'll have to do some fancy talking to get a judge to let you in. If you're lucky, when you get your appearance notice you will have the option at that time to apply for school but I doubt it.
If you have to appear, bring a lawyer. There is a chance that he will be able to beat the ticket or at least get the judge to let you into the school.
111 miles an hour is like spitting in the authority's face and they don't like it.
Good luck though.

Yeah...slow down. Why do you think it's OK to drive like you just admitted? If you were the only driver on the road, and thus the only one at risk, it would be fine with me. But instead, you take your life and the lives of every driver around you into your own self-centered and irresponsible hands when you pull boneheaded stunts like this. I hope you DO lose your license, the world will be a better, safer place for it.
