Disability Parked Car got ticket despite having Permit.
I have a disability. I have a disability permit so that I can park in the appropriate space. Yesterday I was fined $325 for parking in a handicap space. My permit was face up on my dashboard and the ticket was not 8 inches from it.
How and why could I have gotten this ticket? My permit wasn't expired, and was easily visable.
Help?
Re: Disability Parked Car got ticket despite having Permit.
Was any part of the car touching or on-top of the hashed lines? Usually handicap spaces, have hashed lines around them and they're designated access aisles for pedestrian traffic. They're used mainly by disabled drivers/passengers to get in and out of their vehicle with ample space. You can't park or obstruct these hashed lines. The set fine is usually the same as parking illegally in the space (~$300).
That's the only thing I can think of, especially if the permit was properly displayed.
File the ticket for an early resolution meeting and speak to the prosecutor, and sort out what happened.

quite often if you take the permit into the office they will cancel it right there.

Um, wow. What did the ticket say specifically? If it said something like "illegally park in disabled spot," I don't know what to tell you. The only thing I have is what iFly55 and viper1 offered... beyond that I'm stumped...

Got two very heavy tickets -- for failing to stop for a school bus, and for using a handheld device. Was running late in a morning rush traffic in Toronto and apparently passed a school bus on the opposite side w/o noticing its signal. A few meters after that I stopped behind the other cars waiting…
I recently received a ticket for proceeding contrary to sign at an intersection. While there are other issues with the offence (sign is not visible until 10ft from intersection, officer wrote wrong license plate number on ticket) my biggest question is about the sign itself.
The sign located at the…
Hey,
I posted here a *while* back when I first got my speeding ticket, and I've been fighting it forever. Anyway, long story short - I went and had an appeal and both the prosecutor and the Judge agree that I have valid grounds to appeal on, but what we're arguing is whether the correct remedy is a…
My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…
What is the requirement for stopping when a school bus is traveling down the roadway, initiates the flashing red lights while still moving but has not yet stopped? If a motorist is traveling through an intersection (through the free-flow approach, minor-street stop controlled) and an oncoming…
In 2005, the government passed legislation that enabled the introduction of variable speed limits at some point in the future. It didn't take effect right away, so it sat waiting for "proclamation by the Lieutenant Governor." Just by chance... I was reading the HTA earlier while browsing this…

My court date is in late May, which is 14 months after I was charged. I will be applying for 11b but if I dont get the 'stay, I need to be prepared…
I was on my way to work on a divided four lane highway. I was in the right hand lane following the flow of traffic. There was a slower car ahead of me and I wanted to change lanes and maintain my speed. When I looked in my left side mirror, I notice a red car going pretty fast in the passing…
