Don’t shoot yourself in the foot when you have a lawful defense
When your car breaks down, when you’re having a medical emergency, when all the signs were illegible – make sure you know the law, so that you can tell the judges what they need to hear in order to acquit you.
Watch out for confusing signs
The law requires you to understand them even if a rocket scientist couldn’t figure them out – so read ’em twice! And if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Don’t forget you need to be 15 feet from the hydrant
If you’re in doubt, count sidewalk squares – three squares ought to do the trick. And if you have to fight this one without photographic proof, go down to a live hearing to make your case most persuasively.
You can only double park long enough to drop someone off or pick someone up
Sometimes the cops are nice and won’t ticket you when it’s street-cleaning time, but officially double parking is a no-no all the time – unless you’re “expeditiously” dropping off or picking up a passenger.
Appeal if you lose
Plenty of judges make mistakes and most people never challenge them. If you think the judge was wrong because he screwed up the facts or the law, it’s worth appealing. Hey, if you don’t play, you can’t win.
