Just Got A Parking Infringement. Help!

[xALmoN]

Oh, i just saw it.

"No credit card payments accepted within 2 business days of issuance."

Therefore, i shall pay it online tomorrow, now, i have a chemistry examination. No driving for awhile.

I would have thought that with a person in the car and the engine running (was it?), you'd have been standing rather than double parked... probably doesn't make a difference though

If you decide to contest this, you may very well get off.

There's the case where a person got booked for double-parking whilst contending with a bee + bee-sting > Got Off

There's the case of a Harley Rider who stopped for a red light behind a bus, but then rear-ended it due to a climax > Got Off

Then I got off with a caution after writing a letter saying that I had overstayed the 2Hr limit because I was consulted by the wife of an aircraft accident victim where her husband was killed.

Now if you bring the puke in a bag to court or write a letter quickly, you might get off.

But even if you win via a day in court it may now be worth the time or the money. This is called a 'Phyrric Victory' It !

I can't feel sorry for him here. If you know the area and I do as I work there there is a Major problem with people "Double Parking" along Kingsway. Everytime I drive through there we tell at least 3-4 people double parked to move along as the whole street practically comes to standstill due to this.

I have only issued a couple of fines for this as the people were out of the car collecting their take away. Even had one person in unregistered car doing this. I was nice and warned him for double parking as he got a $584 fine for unregistered instead.

...not to mention that double-parking can be a catalyst that leads to an accident - not just an annoyance imho

Yay, i've just paid the fine. Now i can get it off my chest, and ride my bicycle more.

And i dont think it was worth contesting anyway. I'm so busy in school these days. Foundation isn't hard, just tedious.
