The only problem is, do you want the OP to miss a day of work to drive from Sacramento to Oakland for court? That is about a 1.5 hour drive not including the crazy traffic during rush hour. So a potential 4 hour+ roundtrip drive + a taking a day off to save $200. Is that really worth it?

of course not, it doesn't make much sense in this case; unless he was 5 minutes away from court. that was the case with me, court was on my way to work and saved 360 for an hour of sitting and people watching.
