Parking ticket placement on vehicle!? blocked fire hydrant
Well you have learned from this experience, i'll bet. One of the few times that no "no parking" signs are required is for a fire hydrant (another would be drive ways or in cross-walks) Yes, hydrants usually have a painted yellow curb dilineating the 15 feet along the curb in which it is illegal...- wirry1422

points for equipment violations.......
What is the name of your state? Wisconsin I live in Chicago, but i frequently travel to wisconsin, and have seen how Illinois drivers are harrassed on a daily basis, especially on the Kenosha/Racine portion of I-94. As a matter of fact, all drivers are harrassed (truckers, Chicago Cops...- wirry1422

Chicago-Parking/Standing Prohibited Anytime
I have had similar tickets in Chicago in the past. The most recent one was while i was parked on Van Buren and Wells in a 15 minute standing zone. I was gone less than five minutes and left my flashers on as the sign indicated. The ticket was for violating a no standing/parking anytime zone...- wirry1422

Ummarked Florida Patrol Car
To the original poster, the statute that you are talking about refers only to police officers in their own private vehicles. It is simply meant to prevent some drunkin' off-duty cop in his vw beetle from forcing a driver off the side of the highway, or flashing his brights repeatedly while...- wirry1422

First Traffic Violation
Its really irrelevent that you have no tickets on your driving record. It is totally discretionary on the part of the cop whether to give you a warning or a citation. With that being said, most departments have a zero tolerance policy on speeding in construction zones, which means they only...- wirry1422

Parking Ticket 5 years ago
Every now and then, when cities have large budget deficits, they decide to go after people with only one or two outstanding parking tickets that are several years old or more. That appears to be what happened to you. The only bad thing the city can do to you, is to turn the ticket over to a...- wirry1422

Parking sign standards?
No, there are not specific regulations for parking sign standards (ie size, specific placement etc.) as there are for signs pertaining to moving traffic regulations such as speed limit, no left turn signs, and traffic lights (for example) which ARE regulated by the US DOT (as published in a book...- wirry1422

It really depends where you are. I don't have a clue about LA (if i were you though, i would find out by doing some online municipal code research.) But I am in Chicago, and i just appealed a parking citation today. The man ahead of me barely spoke a word of English, but managed to convey to...- wirry1422

75 in a 65 deserves a $203 ticket
Unfortunatly for you, Connecticut has some of the most expensive speeding tickets in the nation. I remember reading in the NYTimes a while back that CT state troopers were reluctant to give speeding tickets because they felt guilty about burdening average people with such large fines.

Baffled: Parked "Wrong Way" on One Way Street
Okay, I stand corrected. The appeals process i previously stated holds true in 98.7% of US municipalities and counties, but some large cities, NYC obiously one of them, are given special "home-rule" powers under state-law, which allows them to drastically alter the appeals-flow process for...- wirry1422

Baffled: Parked "Wrong Way" on One Way Street
Yes, you can appeal the administrative ruling, however it will cost you some money. The way to do it is to file an appeal with the circuit court of Queens County. This will be similar to filing a civil law suit in small claims court. You do not need a lawyer. This will cost several hundred...- wirry1422

handicap parking signs
Regarding the first post, i beg to differ with seniorjudge. If their was absolutly no pavement marking on the surface of the lot, and the absolute only indication of the spot being handicapped was the sign, and it was posted 12-14 feet off the ground, rather than at standard sign level (ie 6-8...- wirry1422

Parking against the flow
Didn't you ever notice that all of the cars on the same side of a street always park in the direction of traffic on that side? This happens to be a uniform standard throughout the entire USA, not just in one community or state. Some parking laws are not at all obvious, this is not one of them...- wirry1422

out of country ticket... what can they do?
Don't worry about getting pulled over, the unpaid parking ticket will not show up on your vehicle registration info if a NY cop runs your plate during a traffic stop. During a traffic stop, only your name, address, vehicle "hot" staus (clear=not stolen, flagged=stolen plates or car) and...- wirry1422

out of country ticket... what can they do?
As a civil violation (parking), the City of New York has absolutly no way to compel a Canadian citizen to pay the fine, especially one who rarely visits, as you are in no danger of getting a boot or getting towed by the city. I awkwardly worded that passage of my post, erroneously giving the...- wirry1422

out of country ticket... what can they do?
If this was a parking ticket and not a moving violation, as i assume it was since you posted the question on the non-moving violation message board, then the compact that racer72 speaks of has no bearing on your ticket whatsoever (i wouldn't put much stock in any of racer's posts anyway; based...- wirry1422

3 parking tickets while parked on private driveway
As a resident of the windy city, i can tell you that you are definitly guilty on the city sticker issue. The city has the power to ticket any cars registered to a city address without a city sticker. As a matter of fact, the city clerk has come up with a program that will match state of...- wirry1422
