From my experience you will not receive points marked against you on your license. I received a ticket for going through a red light on my bike in California. The infraction code used for a bike is the same as a car. The officer noted on the ticket that it was a bike offense and as a result I did not receive any marks against me at the CA DMV and the fee was nearly halved. Had the officer not made the distinction between bike and car I may have received points against my license. Unfortunately that clerical error seems likely to happen frequently.

I wonder if that clerical error could result in dismissal of the ticket altogether. Just take it to court and ask for the license plate number of the car, registration, insurance, etc.
