    Question about a one-way street violation

    I live in Fresno, CA. I accidentally turned the wrong way down a one-way street in the parking lot of the city college. The cop pulled me over and ticketed me. The ticket says I violated VC 21657. I have to appear in court in October. I was wondering, what will the penalty most likely be? I tried looking up the code but all I can find is the wording of the code itself and not the possible penalties.

    Am I looking at a fine, a license suspension, or is this something I can take traffic school for and get removed from my record?

    Thank you for your time, and be safe out there officers.

    I don't know about traffic school, but a lot will depend on your driving record. If this is the first offense in the last 5 or so years, you don't have to worry about suspension or anything heavy duty. There will be a fine, but if you take the time to appear in court, most times the judge will reduce it. (But not 100% of the time)

    Is there a bail figure on the ticket? In Oregon, the maximum fine is that number.
    Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine
