View Full Version : Rant
adept 08-30-2007, 10:27 PM 2 days at school and 2 parking tickets! Damnittt!!!! First time was for "hill hold," failure to turn my wheels to the curb (bs but $20 so I was fine with it). The 2nd one today was in a 2 hour zone. I was only going to be there for 2.5 hours so I figured how would they know? Sure enough they got me (my own stupidness I guess though). $40. Anyone else ever been owned like this?
Tuff Guy 08-30-2007, 10:55 PM yeah but at san marcos its not a 20 dollar ticket, its like 150, but i always fight an win
adept 08-30-2007, 11:50 PM I haven't paid the $40 one yet. Any ideas how to fight it? Go and spray paint the sign late night? Or is that obvious?
Krank 08-31-2007, 03:53 AM I got a couple $35'ers first year trying to figure out when parking enforcement actually enforced the lots, and realizing they check very often. Then another $40 parking at my own apartment...
SC David 08-31-2007, 05:35 AM Meh, they're not really worth fighting. Just pay up and learn, hopefully. They're gonna be strict on enforcement the first few weeks, but they chill out after about 3 weeks and you can usually get away with an extra hour, depending on the place. As for curbing your wheels, I'm sure you'll do it every time now :D. I got two parking tickets in June on the same block of Geary, both times forgetting that there was street cleaning practically everyday. I've gotten about 4 tickets while living here, 3 of those being in the last 3 months. I've got a parking spot now though, so no more worrying about that.
BTW, I think I saw you on campus today by the Ethnic Studies building, but by the time I realized it was you, we had passed.
jaegirl 08-31-2007, 12:07 PM lol the first semester of college i got 2 parking tickets in like a week. plus my school is in downtown so tonsss of cops pullin me over but i got out of em :)

that's my rant!
E36Guy 08-31-2007, 04:27 PM Randy (lkwd318ti) got a ticket at my apartment once for parking in this parking lot next to the complex.. I figured since he was coming over to check out my new car (when I got my 328) real quick, we would be standing right there anyways.. somehow security snuck up to his car while we weren't watching and nabbed him with a $40 ticket. (I think it was $40). :rofl
It was strange cause we were probably 5 or 6 cars away from the parking lot standing near the street. :shifty So lame.
I hate parking tickets.

Seriously. One took a right onto 19th from the eastern side of Holloway next to me yesterday, pulling into traffic. I thought for sure he was going to get hit, but somehow he got up to the speed of traffic instantly. I looked closely, and there was a Dinan badge on the back :devillook
TIMSGT 09-01-2007, 04:54 AM i havnt bought a parking permit at my school for the past 3 semesters, only one ticket so far for not displaying it(and that was actually during the semester that I bought one) it flips around on my rearview with the windows down so i take it off when im driving and forgot to put it on when i parked, that was freshman year
wow I know you're supposed to turn your wheels to the curb or whatever but I had no idea you could get a ticket for that :eyecrazy Is there really a law ?
SC David 09-01-2007, 04:31 PM wow I know you're supposed to turn your wheels to the curb or whatever but I had no idea you could get a ticket for that :eyecrazy Is there really a law ?Oh yeah. In the city here, there are something like 50 serious runaway incidents a year. They'll ticket you, even on slight grades.
adept 09-04-2007, 09:36 PM David, where the hell do I park? I was thinking Junipero Serra because there is no 2 hour there?
