It’s ok, it’s California so they’ll just tack the fee onto your registration and force you to pay it if you want to drive legally. At one point I got a ticket for my car for parking without a permit at a college. The college was in a city that I had never been to, and the make/model of my car did not match the report, so it was obviously a mistake taking down the license. Should be easy to clear up, right? Apparently no. I didn’t find out about that ticket until I got a renewal notice that was way, way more expensive than normal. I spent the next two months making daily calls to try to get this fixed, unsuccessfully. The advice I got was to take it to court, which would have been about ten hours of round trip driving. I eventually just paid the ticket so I could renew my registration without incurring a late fee. I have a very high level of distrust in this system, I hate that another automated crap shoot may be upcoming. I would like the asshole noise machines to stop, but this is not the way.
