Don't know much about Dublin but I do know in Ca. that 15mph over the limit equals reckless driving if the judge feels fitting. Sorry to hear it not sure how much but I paid something like 350 for a first offense and they didn't give me the wreckless thank God.

The last few tickets I received (few and far between) I got a lawyer $60-90 and $60-90 for the ticket/court costs IIRC. Adjudication withheld, no points. I don't recall getting a 15 mph over or more ticket though, so your fees may be considerably higher as noted by the other replies
I've had the the "Safe driver" endorsement on my license for well over a decade. The last 3 times I've been pulled over (10 mph over in a 45 or 55 mph zone) I got a warning.

$380 for a speeding ticket??? My last ticket (11-12 years ago) was $50 in metro Nashville. 59 in a 40. I got a "tail light out" ticket about 5 years ago that was $180, but it was thrown out when I stated I replaced the wiring harness and fixed the problem.

just call the number on the back of the citation to the court you were cited into and ask what the waiver amount is. pay the ticket and be done with it. accept that fact that you were caught speeding and be a man and take it on the chin and drive on. forget hiring an attorney and paying an absurd amount of money to avoid a no points reduction AND a fine for that offense that the speed could be reduced to. the points will drop off after a couple of years and you will be back in the clear. sure your insurance may go up a couple bucks, but not enough to kill you.

the ticket is going to be between $750 and $1000, the insurance rate increase alone can be as little as $300 additional per year up to 3 times that(for 3 years, so an additional $1k-3k).
yes, he was being an idiot and he probably realizes that but in that state they like to squeeze as much from you as they humanly can.
last time i got a ticket in that area i went into court, pled no contest(admitting guilt but with terms) and the ticket cost was about halved, you cannot reduce the fine without seeing the judge or mailing in a no contest plea and going back and forth with them.
i was doing about 80 in a 55(strangely i was just doing the same speed as traffic but was following someone who noticed the speed trap and pulled out of the fast lane ans slowed down before i saw it, he was still doing about 78 but i was going about 2 mph faster so i got nailed. in concord just before the martinez bridge about 15 miles from dublin), it was reduced to 65 in a 55 and the ticket wasn't deemed wreckless yet still came out close to $300. after court it was reduced to $180. mind you that was only 15 over the speed limit, not 30, the ticket is going to be more than triple what mine was.

this is why most cops will let you off easy and put you at 15 over the speed limit, it's not a big ticket nor a big deal but i'm thinking this one is still going to sting a little even in a best case scenario.

Yeah I'm thinking this may sting a bit. There was nothing on the ticket for reckless or anything like that just a 15 over so hopefully it will just be a small (under 1k) fine and traffic school...we will wait and see what happens. And for the record, I have no intention of fighting this...I got caught red handed and I will pay the price..thats how I've always been and I don't see any reason to change now.

pleading no contest is an admission of guilt, but usually is rewarded with a fine reduction. the judge will not question you on it.
i don't think you'll be out too bad then, i believe in most counties the officer has the option to write you up for reckless. in some counties it is a mandatory over a certain speed above the posted speed limit.

here in Ohio, when i cite someone for speed, the citation is merely just for speed. reckless operation is a separate charge and is added when a willful wanton disregard of public safety is introduced during the initial violation. here's how we cite: when a person is speeding in a straight line and not swerving in and out of traffic or if the person is operating soley in a reckless manner, either by creating a risk of physical harm to the public or themselves by a single act of operation. other states may be different than Ohio in their implication of a reckless operation charge, though i have never seen a judge add a charge to a citation issued by an officer. judges impose sentencing and fines but do not serve to add additional charges. a prosecutor may have the power to do so, but it would have to be a rare circumstance.
