I just got a parking ticket. quick question

[pluhone]

Sup. I just got a parking ticket for street cleaning. I hella forgot today was street cleaning because i usually have work monday mornings and id be gone bythen. So I slept in today and woke up to the ticket on the hood.

My question is tho, they misspelled my license plate number, it was off by a letter. Instead of a Z, they put an X. Is there some way I could get out thisticket?? 50 bucks is alot these days.

Thanks.

You should be safe. Happened to my brother last year. Also miswrote his license plate by 1 letter. I guess the bill was sent to the car with the license platethat the parking police put. consider yourself lucky my dude!

I was thinking the same thing. But I would wait it out. If you get the courtesy notice in the mail, contest it. If not, consider yourself lucky. $50 dollarsain't nothing compared to the city. Haha. Try $75 for street cleaning in my neighborhood.

...$30 here. I'd pay the $50 for peace of mind.

they might have your vin number

Even after they send you the letter you have like twenty days or more to send it the money so wait it out?

If they do, the ticket will say so and you will get the courtesy notice. If it says Vin Obstructed or something to that effect you should be inthe clear.

This happened to me about 2 years ago, however, it was for an expired meter.

They ended up adding an additional letter to my plate so it had 8 digits. I never got a courtesy notice and I have had my license plate looked up and nothing.I think you should be good.

Here is the website I used to check mine. This is for SF. It may take a few days to show up though.

Yea, you'll be fine. Anytime the DPT makes a mistake you're off the hook.
