parked wrong way, citation date 1 week in future

[patgermany]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

car loaned to a friend from germany. she parked the wrong way (wrong side of road - facing "flow of traffic"), but citation date is 1 week in the FUTURE.

Is she responsible as the person who used and parked the car, or am I as owner of the vehicle?

Should I just

- have her write a letter saying she parked it and ask if she should include a check from a german bank ?

- ask for the TT account details so she can make the payment by TT?

- wait a week and send a letter with a copy of a valet parking receipt?

- ask that the citation be dismissed as it has not happened yet and there is no "future crimes" police division yet?

- pay it and have done with it?

Thanks ! :-)

YOU are liable for the ticket. You can collect from your German friend.

I Dogpiled "international money order" -- looks like they're available at the post office and Western Union, among other places. Try your bank, too.
