I think the laws are too vague and open to misinterpretation. One mistake will cost you. I mean I am a relatively new driver with little experience but I have never gotten into a traffic violation, only petty parking ticket fines. From the very day I began driving, which was about 5-6 months ago, to the this day I have
received over 4-6 tickets, totaling over 500 dollars. An average ticket costs $65 and double parking costs $115. I have only gotten one ticket reduced and the rest founded guilty. I no longer believe in the myth of beating tickets. It seems as if the traffic officers are hell bent on fining every single person for the slightest bit of violations. I have no respect for these people and their way of living. Most of them have no sympathy for drivers nowadays and never give the drivers a chance to explain themselves. Plus, the cost of living is rising, let alone driving and the ridiculous cost of gas prices nowadays.
Should drivers have a say on the ticket prices and rules?

Don't break the law and you won't get tickets.
It's really that simple. After you park, take a quick look around and make sure everything is alright. Then fill the meter up and you should be good to go. It is your responsibility to ensure you are legally parked.
If you feel the city is focusing too much on things like that. Write your city councilman or state rep and ask them why the fines are so high.

blocking off an intersection replaced into reclassified over a year in the past. this is now no longer a moving violation; that's a parking violation. That replaced into finished so as that site visitors Enforcement brokers (who're civilian workers of the NYPD, and empowered purely to place in writing parking tickets) can now enforce it. So,the fee ticket replaced into written properly.

tickets is just one way the city makes money if they were no tickets taxes would be higher. Dont violate the law and you wont have to be the one who pays.

Parking tickets where I live (Ireland) are €120 (about $160).
I've been driving two years and have only ever gotten one.
Most people never get one.

Walk or take the subway/bus.
No fines. No tickets. No searching for that elusive parking space.
