Got a $489 ticket in Sacramento last month and the fix-it rules confused everyone at the courthouse
Last month I got pulled over on Folsom Blvd in Sacramento for a cracked windshield and the officer handed me a ticket with a $489 fine on it. I went to the courthouse on a Tuesday to ask about a fix-it ticket and the clerk told me the rules changed, so I had to show proof of repair within 30 days or pay the full amount. Does anyone know if traffic school can knock that down or if I'm stuck paying it either way?

That line about "the rules changed" is the story of everything now. You learn how something works, you budget for it, you plan around it, and then some quiet update flips it all. Registration fees, insurance discounts, parking rules downtown, all of it shifts and nobody tells you until you're standing at a counter. The fix-it system used to be a straight deal: fix the glass, get it signed off, pay a small fee. Now it's a 30 day clock and full price if you slip. Traffic school usually only helps with moving violations and points, not equipment tickets, so call the court and ask before you assume.
