Default JDM parking ticket

I went to work at downtown San Francisco yesterday and I got a frickin' BART ticket in their parking garage! WTF!?!?! It says that I parked in a reserved spot...the damn SIGNS are spaced 2 columns apart, how the hell are people supposed to know that!?!? There are no ground symbols or markers showing that the spot is reserved either...that's just rediculous... I'm frustrated that I have to pay $25 at that point. When I take a closer look at the ticket, I smile.



Haha! Fairlady Z... my parking ticket is JDM; I'm now a legally documented JDM *****.

p.s. - does anyone know how to get out of this ticket? it was at the South San Francisco Bart Station...jerks

If you write them a nice letter explaining the situation and your frustration, they should squash the ticket for you, (providing you are not a repeat offender). There are instructions on the back of the ticket.

take pics of the area and show how confusing it is. That helped me when I was up there.

I think if anything is incorrect on the parking ticket, you can fight it. Technically, your car isn't a Fairlady Z, it's a 350Z. I'd fight it.

I agree it's worth a shot.

Just tell the judge: "I don't have a Nissan Fairlady...whatever that is...is that an SUV?"

I know there are prinipals at stake here and I agree with writing the letter explaining about how you thought the signs did not apply because of their location. I would say if they turn you down after the letter, just pay it, I mean, is's your time to sort this out worth more than $25 it might cost you? Heck, I just used up $6.70 worth of time just writing this reply.
