How to Beat 3 NYC Parking Tickets

EN million parking tickets were issued in New York City in 2009, generating more

than $600M in revenue. The battle cry of New York City parking ticket warriors is "if

a motor vehicle stops, ticket it!" I've been asked time and again, is there any way to

fight a parking ticket and win. My answer is yes. Here's how.

Don't throw away, crumple up, or do any other nasty things to your parking ticket.

Required Elements –The NYC driving public’s best

friend

The face of your parking ticket contains valuable information, and may provide you with

a “Get out of jail free” card. For example, you win if the face of your NY parking ticket

contains the wrong:

escription of the rule you allegedly violated….and more

These bite size bits of information are called “Required Elements.” If any of these required elements are omitted, misdescribed, or illegible you win upon application;

regardless of whether your committed the alleged parking crime.

Code 20: General No Parking. "No parking where parking

is prohibited by sign, street marking or traffic control

device"

PLEA:

Not guilty, if you stopped temporarily to drop-off or pick-up a passenger, or

drop-off or pick-up property to or from the curb. You need to furnish an affidavit

from your passenger setting forth her reason for being dropped-off or picket-up

at the location, address of building, and describe her destination inside the

building. Documentary evidence, such as a grocery receipt, pharmacy receipt,

note from your physician, or other such evidence makes your case much

stronger

Not guilty, if you are a commercial vehicle making a service call or delivery, and

you win if you can furnish an affidavit describing the details of your delivery, with

a work order or receipt corroborating the information in your affidavit.

Code 40: “No person shall stand or park a vehicle other

than an authorized bus in its assigned bus stop when any

such stop has been officially designated and appropriately

posted except that the operator of a vehicle may

temporarily stand therein for the purpose of expeditiously

receiving and discharging passengers provided such

standing does not interfere with any bus about to enter or

leave such zone:”

PLEA: Not guilty, if you can prove you stopped temporarily to pick-up or discharge a

passenger

Here are some tips:

Please keep in mind this is a difficult parking ticket to beat

You must have a certification from your witness to even think of fighting this

ticket

You need to explain and document where you passenger was going or coming

from

An independent witness in addition to your passenger strengthens your case

The more facts you present the better.

Where were you headed?

It is better if there was no space next to the curb, outside the bus stop to stop,

drop or pick-up and go

Code 46: "Standing or parking on the roadway side of a

vehicle stopped, standing or parked at the curb; in other

words, 'double parking...'"

PLEA: Not guilty, if you are a commercial vehicle double parking:

At such locations and during such hours that stopping, standing and parking is

not prohibited and your are;

Expeditiously making pickups, deliveries or service calls, provided that;

There are no unoccupied parking spaces or designated loading zone on

either side of the street within 100 feet.

"Expeditiously" means taking 30 minutes or less to complete your pick-up, delivery or

service call.

However, double parking is always prohibited in Midtown Manhattan

between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily, except on Sunday. Midtown Manhattan is

the area from 14th Street to 60th Street, between First Avenue and Eight

Avenue, inclusive.

If you are a NON-COMMERCIAL vehicle

Conventional wisdom says you cannot double park any time, any place,

anywhere in NYC; the big but is:

o I believe “stop, drop or pick-up and go” is a defense to a parking ticket for

double parking (as do some other experts)

o If you want to try presenting the defense yourself, here’s a link to a

customer success story on Larry’s Blog about beating a parking ticket for

double parking. You may wish to check it out

o Discretion may be the better part of valor on a double parking ticket until

the City Council straightens this mess out and creates some uniformity in

the enforcement of double parking tickets by passing a law making “stop,

drop-off or pick-up, and go” a defense to double parking
