Anyone here ever fought a parking ticket and won?
I got a tix for parking upgrade ?
wheels wrong way ?
I have pictures.

You still have to pay the fine first. Good luck

The ticket is because you parked on an incline without turning your tires towards the curb. The idea is if your parking brake fails you won't roll into traffic. I got that ticket 7 years ago.

You won't likely make that mistake again, but you are guilty, and should pay the fine. Sucks but that's the law.

parking upgrade, duh. you were s'posed to paint fresh lines on the pavement for your spot. you don't expect the city to handle the upkeep for that do you?

I've seen a truck crash all the way thru a living room and into the garage for not curbing their wheels. Pay your fine and be glad you learned the lesson this way and not by finding out your negligence has killed someone.

Good luck!

Unless they can magically demonstrate their wheels were curbed, or that the incline wasn't more than the threshold for curbing the wheels, they will lose, and rightfully so.

Fight it, weird you would have pictures of your tires the day you got ticketed, so what's to loose?

Yea you prolly gonna lose but if fight it you'll get an extension and won't have to pay till after the decision

What justification could he possibly offer other than "I didn't know" (ignorance of the law is no excuse) or "my tires weren't pointed that way", which you have no way of demonstrating.

So are you recommending in his write-in defense that he send a boob shot? I'm sure that will help.

Yaha you are lucky....

An anecdote of one situation a convincing argument does not make.

Almost got a ticket in the Outer Sunset because I forgot to move my car last year. Luckily I saw the meter maid and explained I just moved into the neighborhood and didn't notice the sign that it was street cleaning that day. At least she was nice and just told me to move my car without writing the ticket. And no. I'm not a woman with big boobs.

If you get towed you can visit the impound lot under the express way. When this happens you must pay your towing charges before you retrieve your car - ticket gets paid later. At the impound lot you'll be met with the most friendly clerks behind bulletproof glass. Ahh... good times.

Ticket writers work on incentive - the more they write, the more they make. San Francisco generates about $160M in annual revenue from meters and fines (I think this is close). It's tough to fight a machine this big.

i bet Jordan is the life of the party you guise lol

Nah I'm a boring pedant.

They can make any parking law they want.

I lived in San Leandro in the 80's and for 5 years I parked my car facing traffic (side street).

Then one morning my neighbors and I woke up to discover that everyone on the side street got a ticket for parking 180 inches from the curb(wrong way)

Welcome to urban living.

May I pay your pension costs?
