Received a ticket by mail stating "drive off". The ticket was listed as 22500, fire lane violation. At first didn't even think it was for me since I hadn't had any run ins with police or parking enforcement.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
It was quite thoughtful of you to activate a beacon to show that you were violating the law....hazard lights on...
that ^^^^it was quite thoughtful of you to activate a beacon to show that you were violating the law.
Really? It was a legit question, no need to be rude.It was quite thoughtful of you to activate a beacon to show that you were violating the law.
You got your answer and an not-rude pointer too. I'm sorry that you can't read between the lines.Really? It was a legit question, no need to be rude.
Let me be blunt, both for you in the future and for those who may have made the same error that you did.Im not complaining about the actual answer of which you had no part in. I'm stating condescension under the guise of being "helpful" is rude. There was nothing to read between the lines. People come to this site for actual advice, like Cdw offered, not to be patronized with sarcastic remarks.
See, advice without ridicule is actually helpful. As for knowingly engaging in illegal activity, I was actually unaware if California had a no stopping vs no standing (parked) law. I actually thought if I was in the car and it was running and therefore could move at the direction of an officer it may be legal. Hence the question on here.Let me be blunt, both for you in the future and for those who may have made the same error that you did.
When you park illegally with your hazards on, you draw attention to yourself. You make it EASIER to see you, thus more likely for you to be ticketed for the illegal activity that you are knowingly engaging in.
If you are licensed, then you are expected to know basic information such as that.See, advice without ridicule is actually helpful.

I'm aware those licensed accept responsibility of knowing the laws that apply, and I accept my mistake, once again I simply needed clarification. Ironically if everyone was so well versed on the law you wouldn't have a forum to offer all your stellar "expertise".If you are licensed, then you are expected to know basic information such as that.
ETA: Not that it matters, because California law for fire lanes, as pointed out above, doesn't allow stopping or standing.
Good Lord - we're not talking about some obscure part of a rarely used law...I'm aware those licensed accept responsibility of knowing the laws that apply, and I accept my mistake, once again I simply needed clarification.
