NYC parking ticket survey insights

Thank you for sharing your parking ticket knowledge and experiences. They give me valuable insight into the areas that generate confusion. And, alert me to parking myths I should debunk.

36% of those surveyed said it is illegal to stop temporarily to drop-off a passenger to the curb in a No Parking zone. Wrong! Our goal is to teach our readers that you can.
40% of those surveyed said they have received a ticket for leaving their vehicle unattended while they walked Mom to the door. Yikes. Our goal is to teach our readers that you can never, ever leave your vehicle unattended while you walk Mom to the door.
27% of those surveyed said they received a ticket sitting in their car. Oh, boy. Our goal is to teach our readers you can never, ever sit in your car in a no stopping, no standing, or no parking zone.

What was most difficult NYC parking ticket to beat?

47% of those surveyed said…A Fire Hydrant parking ticket. An overwhelming first choice.
18% of those surveyed said…Bus stop parking ticket
17% of those surveyed said…Double parking ticket
17% of those surveyed said…Blocking the Box parking ticket

This tells me we have to make sure to show you how to avoid these parking tickets, and what defenses to raise if you’re issued one of these orange epistles.

See what happens when a guy lets his temper get the best of him
