What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York State
I got a ticket for parking in a handicap space, because my dad, who was issued the permit, was not in the car, at the time. I didn't know he had to be and thought the permit was issued for the car in general. Should I contest it, because I was unaware since my dad told me the permit was for the car (he's 85 and wasn't clear on the law himself, I guess)? Is there a chance it could be reduced if I do? The officer also put the wrong date on the ticket, and I wondered if that mattered either?
