Appeal

I RECEIVED A PARKING TICKET TODAY, MONDAY 6-8, AT THE 10TH AND SUNRISE PARKING LOT NEAR THE SRSC. I PARK HERE OFTEN AS I HAVE A VALID AND CURRENT C PASS AND I WAS PARKED IN AN APPROPRIATE SPACE. SO I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I SAW THE TICKET ON MY WINDSHIELD. WHEN I LOOKED CLOSER I NOTED THAT MY PERMIT WAS NOT HANGING ON MY MIRROR AS USUAL. WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR I SAW THAT MY PERMIT HAD FALLEN OFF OF THE MIRROR. MY WINDOWS WERE CRACKED BECAUSE OF THE HEAT, SO THE WIND MAY HAVE BLOWN IT OFF. I ASSUME THAT THE PARKING ATTENDANT WAS UNABLE TO SEE WHERE IT HAD FALLEN AND SO THEY ISSUED A TICKET.

I got a parking ticket at school once for having my permit hanging backward. I got it reduced, but they would not do anything more because it says right on the thing to hang it with the sticker forward! I feel your pain... :(

Love.

Yeah, that stinks. I got a parking ticket because I put my sun shade up in front of my permit that hangs from my rear view mirror. Luckily I just went and appealed it and they dismissed it. Whew!

we got out of MANY a ticket because the little hangy-thing didn't work so well after taking it down to swipe it for the parking garrages!

APPEAL BABY!
