The current fine is $1,068. The signs are everywhere, and no, you won't get away with paying $271.
Most freeway signs I've seen have been updated to read that the fine is in the mid $300 range. I thought it was $341, but it doesn't jive with what I am reading in my research right now.

I attempted to find something in the vehicle code about fines but have been unsuccessful so far. However, both Snopes and UrbanLegends.com both say that the $1,000+ fine is a bunch of hooey.



ETA: the published minimum fine for carpool lane violation in Orange County is $341.
