My state california San Mateo County.
For those who read my earlier thread. I was pull over for cvc 22451 (a) and for a fix-it ticket.
I address the fix it protion. No plates (new car)
I went to the court house today they said they don't have my file yet so I cannot enter my plead yet.
I don't understand why my bail amount is so high. It is $535.50 if I don't address the fix it portion and $388.50 if I address the fix it protion. And it said I cannot go to school. Can someone help me understand this. Or am I reading the law wrong.
According to CVC 42001.16. my base fine should be $100 for the first infraction. It seem my base find is consist with a base fine of $200 or $250. The 2nd or 3rd infraction. I know I have not been convicted for anything in the last year and I should be be able to go to school.
