This past Saturday I was in downtown San Jose to watch my girlfriends cousins in a Piano recital. I parked right outside the building in a metered spot, assuming there's no need to pay since it's the weekend. Man, one hour later I am out of there and I have a $28 ticket on the windshield. Just paid it and it was $31 with the "internet fee".

Oh well, watch out for those meters.

You didn't appeal?

 

Yup...those are a biatch. There are some areas in SF that are the same as well.

 

Really, what can you do?

I can't really fight it since according to the signs posted the only free day for it is Sunday. Just a careless and honest mistake on my part.

 

sux man....the meters at bay street in emeryville are 24/7. so many ppl think it's free on weekends and get nailed by the metering maid.

 

James, I wouldn't be surprosed by that. SJSU and SJ area is a very tricky place to park. You have to be very careful and make sure you read the sign.

 

I feel your pain on the SJ parking ticket. I got a ticket across the street from SJSU around 2 months ago....$51 for parking on a street where sunday permits are required, and it was a damn SATURDAY! I thought that meant you needed the Sunday permit if you wanted to park there on a Sunday.

 

see you shoulda came over to my place instead and this woulda never happened.

 

^ lol... crazy jon. But isn't it pretty much always free meter on sunday only? Here in berkeley it's the same.

 

i suck at parallel parking...

 

It would seem like a waste of energy. The time it would take to appeal, he could be working, earning 5 times the ticket
