Parking ticket Penalty Timeline

Parking Ticket Penalty TimelineRevised by the Evil Empire

December 9, 2013

A Cautionary TaleJoe was furious when he was issued a parking ticket for parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. Joe was positive that he parked 20 feet away from the pump. The NYC parking ticket warrior had a lot of nerve. Joe decided to fight this parking ticket.

Oops...Joe was so angry that he squeezed the parking ticket into a ball, and tossed it into the back seat of his car. This was bad. Joe must file his defense certification and evidence within 30 days to avoid penalties added to the base fine.

Strike OneIt is now 31 days later, and the crumpled up ball of a parking ticket torment is still driving around with Joe in the back seat of his car.

On the 31st day, the Evil Empire assessed a $10 penalty. Joe now owes the original fine of $115 plus a $10 penalty

Strike Two: The weather outside is frightening. The time of year brings snow blizzards, heavy winds, and lots of rain. What a mess. Oh boy, it's now 61 days since Joe tossed his parking ticket into the back seat in a fit of parking ticket rage.

The Evil Empire added a penalty of $20 on the 46th 61st day. Joe now owes $115 for the original ticket plus $30 in penalties.

Strike Three:The weather is becoming warmer. It feels a lot nicer outside. Joe's parking ticket is still hanging out in the back seat of his car. It is now 91 days later.

On the 76th 81st day, the Evil Empire added a $30 penalty. Joe now owes $115 plus $60 in penalties.
