    Default My Bail Seems Excessive

    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.


    it said " 42001.16. (a) Every person convicted of an infraction for a
    violation of subdivision (c) of Section 21752, subdivision (c) of
    Section 22526, or Section 22450, involving railroad grade crossings,
    or Section 22451 or 22452 shall be punished as follows:
    (1) For the first infraction, by a fine of one hundred dollars
    ($100).
    (2) For a second infraction of any of the offenses described in
    this subdivision occurring within one year of a prior infraction that
    resulted in a conviction, by a fine not exceeding two hundred
    dollars ($200).
    (3) For a third or any subsequent infraction of any of the
    offenses described in this subdivision occurring within one year of
    two or more prior infractions that resulted in convictions, by a fine
    not exceeding two hundred fifty dollars ($250).
    (b) In addition to the fine imposed pursuant to subdivision (a), a
    court, in a county in which Section 369b of the Penal Code applies,
    may require the person to attend a traffic school as described in
    Section 369b of the Penal Code.
