(re nasty fine for right turn violation)

I think the judge is generally sympathetic to people who are fined
and can't pay the money right away, you can usually arrange to
pay in installments that are spread out over several months.

The main thing is to not just let it fall into a crack until they
hold up your drivers license renewal.  I made that mistake and
believe me it's worth avoiding!

Also, another mistake I made, don't park near the courthouse
in a 2 hour zone - your scheduled hearing time is probably going
to slip considerably, you'll be stuck in court waiting for your
turn to come up, and the cops routinely go out and zap everyone
with parking tickets 2 hours after court starts.  (Nice to know
someone is enjoying their work, isn't it?)  You may find
yourself spending 3 hours knocking $25 off the fine and then
paying $35 for the parking ticket.

I agree $104 for a right turn on red is a bit much.
