have you ever gotten a parking ticket in boston?[views:3167][posts:35]__________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 2:38am - succubus ""] i've never gotten a parking or moving violation for that matter what happens to me if i don't pay ? it's $40 fine for parking in a residential area..however, i didn't see any signs right where i parked |

| __________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 2:41am - succubus ""] what do you mean reregister? my car registration? |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 8:48am - anonymous ""] No, but listen to this, if you can believe it: I once got a speeding ticket. in Monson. Can you handle that shit? Monson, of all places! You literally have to drive almost all the way down main street to see a cop car after the first one you see when you enter town. Monson, where you have to drive nearly 5 mph over the limit to get pulled over for speeding. Monson, where the cops ensure that the big dig receives adeaquate funding from those who should be paying for it: anyone who drives through the fucking town. |

| __________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 9:40am - Lynneaus ""] you should fight it.... say there were no signs... it will mean having to take a day off but most of the time u will win or u could just pay the damn thing where u cross the boarder a lot its always better to just take care of things. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 10:19am - SUBJUGATE ""] i have gotten a couple basicly what will happen if you don't pay it is when you go to re-register your car next time they won't let you cause of the ticket, on top of that i belive they charge interest on the unpaid ticket till it is paid and if you get pulled over you will be in a little bit of a jam too i belive |
| _________________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 10:32am - My_Dying_Bride ""] fight it...even if your completely guilty you'll get some of it taken off |

| __________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 3:23pm - Kalopsia ""] succubus i say just pay it. it's only $40. it's not worth to fight over that small amount. now when i got $115 parking ticket in NY, that's a different story. i say just pay it |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 3:25pm - KeithMutiny ""] i got a 350 dollar speeding ticket once, me and my buddy were trashed too and the cop gave us the ticket and left us there, both piss drunk, was like, ok, just go home.... anyway, id pay it, my license got suspended for not paying a parking ticket one time, it catches up with ya eventually |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 3:37pm - BornSoVile ""] my ex didn't pay two $15 parking tickets in mother fucking whitinsville and with two speeding tickets, she subsequently lost her license for a few months. never taken anything to court. i fucking hate court. |
| _________________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 6:04pm - BobNOMAAMRooney ""] I got two in the past month on North Beacon Street in Brighton. Some bullshit with the street cleaning days. Instead of starting at 10am like it does on my street they start at 12:01 am and last year they changed the days from Mondays and Thursdays to I'm not sure when. I should have appealed them because the city put a sticker on the signs and expected them not to peel off over the winter rather than making new signs. Watch out on North Beacon street, you can't park on Frondays and Thuendsdays |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 6:42pm - BestialOnslaught ""] I get Boston tickets a lot dammit... Fuckin street cleaning!!! |

| ____________________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 8:43pm - Todd(bombshelter) ""] yea,well when i showed up, they brought the officer in ,who wrote the ticket,and asked him if he really wanted to persue it. You shoulda seen his face when they pointed me out and said i was there to pay my ticket for parking in a handicapped space.....priceless,apparently he did not see my placard hangin from my rearview(said my windshield was fogged or something,he could not recall) |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 25,2004 11:11am - Josh_Martin ""] FIGHT IT!! You can fight parking tickets through the mail, read the fine print on the back of the ticket. If you've never gotten a ticket in Boston before I can almost guarantee they will let you off. Just make up an excuse, like there was no visible sign. If you don't have a previous record, they don't even check out your story. I have done this twice and won both times. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 25,2004 11:12am - Josh_Martin ""] Oh yeah, I also fought a ticket through the mail in NYC and beat that too. |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 4:37pm - the_reverend ""] you typically have 10 days on these things to appeal, no? |

| ________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 3:35am - damnose ""] I got a parking ticket once because I was walking back to my car with a very FAT friend who kept insisting that we walk slower. By the time we got there, the meter had expired and a cop was just driving away after writing me a ticket... I wanted to go to court and contest it, saying that I had to guide my disabled, legally obese friend and therefore was punished unfairly. He would have gone with me and played the part, plus he's Bangladeshi and his name is Arafat so it would have been pretty hilarious. But alas we were lazy and going to court to contest a $20 ticket in Boston really isn't worth it. |

| _________________________________ [Jan 5,2005 12:03pm - tbone_r ""] the people who get ticketed in front of my dorm get 50$ tickets. they usuallyonly get ticketed when they park overnight though |
| __________________________________ [Jan 5,2005 12:04pm - succubus ""] i'm just happy that i don't have to pay it.. all the while i had people at work telling me not to do it and stuff...and i have no idea why... they said i was waisting my time and that it didn't matter that my record was clean BLAH BLAH i don't know why people care so much.. anyhow... my record remains in tact! EDIT for the rev: I'm just happy that i didn't have to pay for it.. |

I don't get people who act like they know stuff when they clearly have no idea what they're talking about. Actually, ask them why they told you not to do it and post their answers here. |
