What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hello,
I parked in a handicap parking spot in my friends apartment complex overnight only because she assured me over and over again that it was fine, that everyone parked there and that even the maintenance man parked there.
Well, the next day I had a ticket for $348 and to say the least I was pissed. Anyway...I should not have listened to her because it was against my better judgement.
Now i am trying to get out of it on the technicality that the sign does not have the code on it and the curb is not properly painted or marked "no parking".
I have photos and am prepared to go to court to try to fight it but am wondering if I have a chance or if I would just be wasting my time?
Also I would never even otherwise think of parking in a handicap parking spot sp please save your chastising comments. I will NEVER park in one again no matter where it is and who says it's ok...I have completely learned my lesson.
Thanks,
Saundra
