i just got 3 parking tickets in dc for:
-failure to display current tag (no month exp. displayed on tag)
-no rear tag display
-parking less than 10ft from a fire hydrant
the notice of infraction contains:
-citation #
-date, time issued
-license #
-state
-tag year
-vehicle make
-body
-tow requirement
-VIN
-location of violation
-violation
-fine amount
-comments
the citation # has my license plate number down wrong (6RTMXXX instead of 6RIMXXX). it also does not contain my VIN. what should i do? really short on money right now, so id rather not pay it ($200 total) if at all possible.
i tried to look up the citation online, but it says it can take up to 20 days for the ticket to be uploaded to the database.
on the back of the notice are instructions on "answering parking violations," saying that i have 60 days to answer by giving them my name, address, city, state, zip.
my thoughts are to give it 20 or so days, then look up my citation online to see if they actually have my VIN. if they dont, i wont answer at all, because how can they track me down? if they do....then i dunno; might try to fight it. i just moved from CA to VA and am waiting for my VA plates, so in the meantime i have my CA plates on and they are technically expired.
thoughts?
