THAT Gets a Ticket?!

Jul 27, 2008 Author: Meredith | Filed under: driving

Oh dear lord. People, I got a parking ticket today. While parked IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. Yes, it’s only a $20 ticket, but it was IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I apparently violated the law by parking with the driver’s side up against the curb, rather than the passenger side. Apparently this is a law because it means I was driving on the wrong side of the road. Except, hello, there are no lines on my street. People drive all over the damn street. You drive wherever there isn’t a car. And my house is right inside the turnoff from the main road, so I swing around the turn and into my spot IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. Yes, it’s a public street, but I was IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE! This is insane. Furthermore, I’m not the only one who does it, but my rear bumper is visible from the main road, so…I’m the lucky one. Even though I was IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE for crying out loud!!!

Sounds like someone was trying to get their parking ticket quota in for the month

Did you talk to the officer that gave you the ticket? What is the reason that the law will not let you park that way? If you don’t feel it is fair, then why don’t you find out what you need to do to get the city to amend the law. Until then park the other way.
