Violation Lookup

What this covers

This is the schedule entry specifically for truck/trailer following distance. Check the cited subsection and its applicability; do not merge it with a separate 21703 charge.

Fine basis

Amounts use the Base Fine column in the official 2026 schedule as a reference, ordinarily for a first offense. They exclude assessments, court fees, and local adjustments. Prior convictions, work-zone enhancements, and the final amount payable must be checked with the handling court.

DMV points and commercial operation

The schedule lists 1 standard point on conviction. DMV applies 1.5 times the usual value (normally 1.5 points here) when the vehicle being operated requires Class A, Class B, or a specified certificate or endorsement. Holding a CDL alone does not trigger the multiplier.

DMV points, CDL disqualification, and FMCSA inspection/SMS severity weights are separate systems; this entry does not interchange them.

Under the CVC 42030 chart, excess weight of 1–1,000 lb has a $20 base fine; 1,001–1,500, $30; 1,501–2,000, $40; 2,001–2,500, $55; 2,501–3,000, $85; 3,001–3,500, $105; 3,501–4,000, $125; and 4,001–4,500, $145.

Fine basis

This entry varies by excess weight rather than one fixed amount. The notes give 2026 schedule base-fine references only, excluding assessments and court fees. Check the actual charge, applicable weight limit, and court notice.
