Is a traffic ticket(failure to stop at stop sign) AND I DID STOP AT IT!…null (in MARYLAND) if the officer wrote on the ticket you were traveling EB on Green St. when you were actually WB on Green St? He even intially testified in court yesterday that I was traveling EB, but when the Judge noticed that the directions weren’t adding up the officer apologized and stated that I was actually traveling WB. Ticket STILL SAID EAST BOUND! Can I have the guilty verdict I got oveerturned or thrown out completely?

Great article, 35% off parking tickets is huge. But if you want to contest the ticket and get a full refund, there has to be a better way. I don’t know any silver bullets, but this is a parking ticket judge’s blog: http://parkingticketpunditry.wordpress.com/

Reading that definitely helped me learn a parking ticket judge’s way of thinking when deciding parking ticket cases. Apparently he (or she?) also answers questions about parking tickets free of charge.

I have a question about the license plates for a scooter. I parked my covered scooter on the sidewalk and was ticketed for no plates since i am working on it, as it does not run yet. Also, a ticket for parking on a sidewalk. Most scooters have to be on the sidewalk since the chain lock needs to be around a pole, lamppost etc… The officer wrote “Piaggio” on ticket as the make, but it is a Vespa. He did not write any other info about the scooter. Any suggestions?

thanks!

I could not access the form shown above after clicking on the link several times. Instead, I was taken to a page that listed different city agencies.

Please put in a correct link.

Hi,

I realize this is an old post, but still merits a reply. I love your header, it’s beautiful.

You advice is absolutely correct. But, it’s only 1/2 the story. I suggest:

1. Look at the face of your parking ticket. If any of the information is incorrect, you win. The parking ticket will be dismissed.

2. You may have a viable defense to the violation. Seek expert advice. For example, if you receive a parking ticket for double parking and you can prove you were discharging a passenger, you win. Your parking ticket will be dismissed.

3. Your above example is a violation of Code 34, expired meter. There are defenses to this violation. It’s a $65 ticket in Manhattan, below 96th Street. Otherwise, it’s $35. See if you can fight your parking ticket and win.

If you have no valid defense, it’s a great idea to take advantage of the parking penalty reduction program. For example, you will receive an automatic $25 reduction in exchange for a guilty plea to double parking.

Thanks for the opportunity to share some thoughts.

Color is not a basis for ticket dismissal in New York City. You must have beat it on something else!
