Some three weeks ago I got a ticket for taking a right turn at a stop 
light with a "no turn on red" sign.  I don't deny that I made the turn on 
right, but I believe that, given my income of below $10,000 per year, the 
$104 is excessive.

Does anyone know if I appeal for a lower fine if I'll merely get laughed 
out of the Oakland Municipal Court?

I'd appreciate hearing from people who have appealed tickets in court for 
any advice.  Am I just wasting my time?

And while I'm at it, I'd love to hear suggestions for traffic school.

Best,

Dan Goodin
