my car overheated in the middle of downtown la, and i had to pull over in red, i saw a little market and i ran in like 2 minutes to buy some water to put in and ofcourse DOT magically appeared as i was running out... i told him my car overheated and i needed water, thats the only reason i got out the car and why my car was stopped there, all he said was, "sorry but u cant park here!" so before i started to cry i just went over to my car and put the water in my car... i dont know how leanient parking violations should be in those situations but i wasnt parked there by choice... how can i contest the ticket? its 75 bucks and for me... that's alot, besides the fact that i felt he took advantage of his authority and chose to make me feel like dirt... what should i do? i really dont want to pay the ticket, but does contesting the ticket really help?

  1. Read the ticket.  The instructions for contesting it are on the ticket.  You might actually prevail because those things are not handled in a criminal court and they tend to accept lots of excuses and at least lower the fine.
