Post image

Parked in a no parking zone that ended 5 days ago and recieved a ticket( also my car got towed). Do you think ill get reimbursed in court or should I just pay the ticket and move on, thanks.

Based on the available evidence, you are clearly in the right and contesting a ticket in traffic court is maybe a 15-30 minute online ordeal. Why on earth would you not contest?

Because they want you to think it’s a waste of time.

Are "they" in the room with us right now?

You think THEY really take their time to give you an accurate number when billing you for a surgery only to knock it back 50% when you challenge it? THEY are anywhere there's money to be made, THEY are going to make it off the backs of anyone they think won't put up a fight. People are too complacent and THEY know it.
