NYC $165 parking ticket for blocking a pedestian ramp? HELP PLEASE!?

Question

I live in Staten Island, New York. I recivered a $165 parking ticket for blocking a pedestian ramp. I was in class at St. John's university taking my last exam of the year. When I finished I went to my car and saw I had a ticket on my windshield for blocking a pedestrian ramp. I did not see the ramp. I cannot afford to pay such an expensive ticket. Can someone give me advice on what to do?

Answer 1

Pay the "FINE"

You have a driver's licence.......You know the "rules" of the land/state......................Suzanne....

Answer 2

As government loses more tax income you'll be seeing more of this to make up the revenue deficit.  Get used to it or park legally.

Answer 3

thing with NYC they have to meet certain conviction rate, which is 90%.

you best bet, send in the letter plead no guility usually they lower it by 30%, if you still not happy, take a pic, and fight it.

I got a $90 ticket because i turned into fifth ave from 42th, and they say i can't turn or whatever. anyway it was 160, and i got it down to 90.

one thing i notice the nypd does best at is ticketing.

Answer 4

You parked there and there will be no way to get out of this, sorry.
