I received a carpool lane violation in Long Beach for crossing the double yellows (code: 216558A). I was also cited for a lack of license plate illumination (although I had a light illuminating the plate and the second responding officer thought that the way I set up the license plate light was great - go figure!) and incorrect location of a license plate (it was mounted under the seat near the rear shock). My estimated total fees for this are below:
Carpool Lane Infraction: $486
2 Mechanical Violations Proof of Corrections: $50
Certificate of Compliance from Certified Light and Brake Station: ~$30
Sheriff Inspection: ~$22
Court Administration Fee for Traffic School: $30
Traffic School: $20
Total: ~$638
Doesn't that seem a bit excessive!?!
When I have the license plate light inspected at the light and brake station, will they pass me even though I don't have a DOT sticker on my taillight (license plate light is built into the taillight)? Also, at the sheriff's inspection, can they / will they not pass me because I have a modded exhaust and / or because of the lack of a DOT sticker on the taillight?
