I got an ILLEGAL PARKING TICKET.Both the DRIVER AND ME were given tickets .Is that ok if im a passenger?

Question

this happened in Bronx NY.I dont even drive.now i need to appear for the summon. this is my first ticket. isnt it the driver should only get the ticket?

Answer 1

I have never heard of this and would recommend that you just contact the police department and ask for the law.....

Answer 2

Must be some strange laws in your area.  I never heard of this.

Answer 3

I have never heard of this either.  Maybe now with the high price of oil, the police will have to start ticketing "all" peoples in the vehicle to make ends meet....similar to how airlines are charging for "all" our luggage bags!!  

My question would be:  If it's a "parking ticket" how did either of you get a ticket if the car was parked?  Where you just parking?  Did the officer wait for you to return to the car to see who you were?  I'm a little confused.  Where I live, a parking ticket is put on the window under the wiper blade.

Answer 4

Parking tickets are issued to cars, not people.  You wouldn't get one unless you laid out a cot and were napping in a parking place.

Edit:  I just thought of something.  Were you and your friend making out?  Maybe you both got "sparking tickets"!

LOLOL!!

Answer 5

I live in NYC and I've never heard of PARKING ticket given to people (instead of cars).  And if there were people in the car, usually you are told to move the car, instead of given ticket for PARKING.

And summons are given for moving violation (driver), unless the passenger did something illegal (like get caught with pot, etc.)

Check again.  You got some info wrong.

Good Luck...

Answer 6

hi you

your right it is now if you there in the good old u.s of a have the same law as here in Ireland failing to wear a seat belt would you a ticket so would the driver if he  was not wearing his on top of ticket for the parking the only other reason i can think of is your friend gave you the ticket that was meant for him
