(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. -- http://www.aggroup.com/mgr/Mike.html
