What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I live in Maryland, but the moving violation occured in Los Angeles, CA.
When I rented a car in LA two weeks ago, I was pulled over by police for making a left turn from a lane where cars are supposed to go straight. My wife and I were totally lost. Now, LA Superior Court sent me a letter asking for a bail of $202. Is this excessive by LA standards? I believe it would be in MD. Also, is there a chance that I could reduce the fine through a "trial by declaration" which is something the letter mentions? Obviosly, I can't go to CA for a trial.
Thanks, Thomas
