You must have been partially parked on the sidewalk.They won't give you a parking ticket for parking on your driveway.>

I was proud of my first speeding ticket too. Hung it on my fridge for a week, then took it to my mom's house and hung it on her fridge for a week.  I was so proud.  I am a 34 year old woman who drives big rigs for living and probably know more about trucks than any decent woman should but I say go for it.  It feels great.

Just keep telling yourself you're going to court over a TRAFFIC TICKET not rape, theft, burglary or worse...just a simple ticket. Kinda silly to get all worked up over that isn't it?? Everything will be fine...what's the worst that can happen?? You're gonna walk out alive and into the rest of your life owing a lil money and some points on your license..it's definitely not the end of the world. Good luck!!

You have to call or go to the court house within the city limits the ticket was issued. Tell them it is nine years old. They will have to some research but they will find it, and you can then get the ticket paid for and taken care of. I have done this before it is a pain in the ***

I park out where no one else does. It keeps my car nice and free from dings PLUS the long walk contributes to good cardivascular health!!

I am certain that yes, technically,you are breaking the law (and could be ticketed!). The best thing to do in this situation is to make local municipal officials aware of the situation (go to them prepared-take a map, photographs, and all pertinant information). Your city planning department or police department may be of help. Such situations must be commonplace. It may simply be a street-planning oversite. Good Luck!

It is an incomplete sentence.  "There is no parking on both sides" would make it a complete thought.

Plea not guilty and take the reduction to illegal parking to avoid points on your license. I'm sure you were very careful in going around the double parked vehicle and checked both pedestrian and vehicle traffic before passing.

Your fault.  Failure to yield the right-of-way.  Also, some cities have a law against BACKING out of your driveway.

Contact the SFPD, ask for the Parking Enforcement Division and see if anyone there can answer that.  I assume you don't want to pay it because you are fighting it and not just blowing it off right?  If you wish to contest it you will likely have to meet with a Hearing Officer and plead your case.  However I could be totally wrong, that is just how it is done were I am from.

I forget exactly which country, but it is in northern Europe (Finland, Sweden, Norway?).  They set fines for different offenses based on your income. so a really rich guy could have like a $30,000 parking ticket.  Kind of an interesting idea.

Contact the DMV/BMV where it was located.\n\nIf it was yours, you can order a C.L.U.E. report.

Do the parking laws in your area exclude holidays from "rush hour"?\n\nIf they do, you can get the ticket dismissed.  \n\nWhere I live, the signs specify "excluding weekends and holidays"\n\nGo to where you were parked, and take photos to prove there are no signs, and bring it with you to court.\n\nFYI, if you don't pay ticket in Chicago in the time allotted, the fine doubles the amount of the ticket.  You had better find a way to make sure you have $50 just in case you lose, because if you can't afford $50, you sure can't afford $100.
