What Are Traffic & Vehicle Code Bail Bonds?
A plain-English breakdown of the most common non-DUI Vehicle Code arrests in California.
Reckless Driving: VC §23103
VC §23103 covers driving with willful or wanton disregard for safety. Generally a misdemeanor, but street-racing-related reckless driving can be filed as a felony.
VC §23103 — Reckless DrivingHit and Run: VC §20001 / §20002
Property-damage-only hit and run (VC §20002) is a misdemeanor. Hit and run involving injury or death (VC §20001) is treated as a felony with significantly harsher penalties.
VC §20001 — Felony Hit and RunDriving on a Suspended License: VC §14601
VC §14601 covers driving on a suspended or revoked license — a misdemeanor, but a prior conviction can mean up to a year in county jail.
VC §14601 — Driving on a Suspended LicenseEvading a Peace Officer: VC §2800.1 / §2800.2
VC §2800.1 covers fleeing from a marked police vehicle. Reckless evading under §2800.2 elevates this to a wobbler with felony exposure.
VC §2800.1 / §2800.2 — Evading a Peace OfficerWhat A Traffic/VC Bail Bond Costs
| Total Bail | Standard 10% Premium | 1% Down | Remaining Financed Balance |
|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $250 | $25 | $225 |
| $10,000 | $1,000 | $100 | $900 |
| $25,000 | $2,500 | $250 | $2,250 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 | $4,500 |
| $75,000 | $7,500 | $750 | $6,750 |
1% down is a qualification-based tier. The full 10% premium is set by California law. Felony hit and run, felony evading, or a prior conviction typically move a case to a 3%, 5%, or 10% tier.

Lowest Tier
Cases Approved For 1% Down

The cleanest Vehicle Code profile.
Qualified Cosigner (700+)
Homeowner or verifiable equity, clean FTA history.
Cosigner Requirements
Underwriting
Cases At A Higher Tier
These factors move a traffic/VC case out of the 1% tier. They don't make the bond impossible — they change the down payment.
Felony Hit and Run (Injury or Death)
VC §20001 filings carry the highest exposure on this page.
Felony (Reckless) Evading
Reckless evading elevates a chase to a wobbler with felony exposure.
Prior Suspended-License Conviction
A prior VC §14601 conviction can mean up to a year in county jail.
Prior FTA Or Bond Forfeiture
A history of missing court is the biggest underwriting red flag on any bond.
No Cosigner Or No Local Ties
Out-of-state defendant, no verifiable income, no cosigner available.
