D'oh! Ticket for Deleted Front Plate

Groucho · 02-01-2006, 11:26 AM

I got a parking ticket yesterday in downtown LA that cited me for no front plate.

I had to watch the metermaid write the damned thing while I was stuck in a meeting on the fourth floor of an adjacent building. With the Monaro re-conversion offering very little hint as to the identity, and Holden not exactly being a household name, it was hilarious to watch her try and figure out what kind of car it was. She literally stood there looking at the car, paced a bit, and scratched her head.

On the ticket, where the "vehicle type" line occurs, it states "Other."

Luckily, it's non-moving violation, so I simply kick a check for $25 over to the City of Los Angeles and I'm done with it.

Dont you know they have to have somehting to shoot with the laser?

Big fat front plate, nothing better for reflectivity and size.

I'm not sure the meter maid is allowed to write you up for that. Atleast they weren't too in the past.

That said, i've probably got a dozen no front plate tickets and another dozen window tint tickets under my belt

Your car is registered as a Pontiac. You can attempt to contest the ticket on the grounds that it isnt your car. Or just pay the 25.

Pffft. It's only $25- not worth it. It's not even a fixit ticket!

I'm sure she went home satisfied that she helped rid the streets of LA of evil-doers.(meanwhile there is a mugging happening across the street)
