Parking Citation - Parking on an on ramp

He already has to appear so while he is there I would contest it

 

One could always claim to be too sick to drive safely. That is federal law . Park in safe area if you can and not drive . An excuse ?Yes, but legitimate. It is the law aside from being common sense.
Many years ago in a KY rest area I was awakened by a belligerent cop. He said I was at the rest area too long according to him.
I had planned for this as I knew his reputation..
I had taken a can of beanie weenies and mushed it up added some water and a bit of soda and poured it out the window. Cop told me I had to leave. I told him too sick to drive, and he was stepping in my vomit. He demanded I leave, so the truck went over the curb in to the landscaping. All said and done I proved I was too sick to safely drive .He was suspended, had to pay for all damage to my truck.He had to pay for the tow bill to get it out of the grass and soft earth.. Ticket was dismissed. Some times it pays to plan ahead. You just have to have the guts to go all the way .

All said and done parking on a off ramp is very dangerous. If you had been hit in the rear by either another truck or a car you would be held accountable as you were illegally parked.
People tend to exit at highway speed. Entrance ramps less dangerous but still illegal.

 

next time open the hood,set up your triangles,throw on the 4 ways,and snuggle up & sleep away..when they wake you up,you just say your waiting for a service trk..it should be here just about when my ten is up..now good night officer...

 

That just might work,lol.

 

unless he calls your bluff and ask who's coming and wants to confirm it lol

 

It should ,because in calif its posted,emergency parking only on most ramps,so hood up,..looks like a ER..lol

 

We had little trouble with parking before the new HOS BS. The ridiculous 30 min break does nothing to help the situation. We are being controlled by ignorant, unknowing politico with nothing behind their ideas and rules than furthering their careers.
Now we not only have the lack of parking but states, counties and local governments short on funds doing every thing they can to fill their coffers . We are good targets and they assume we don't vote.

 

Clerk of Courts works directly with the judge. Your right though, the clerk cannot throw out the ticket or change it but when he talks to the judge and gets permission he can. I've had it done. Changed a speeding ticket to just a fine and no points on my license. The clerks job is to take care of as much business as possible so the judge doesn't. More then half the cases are handled in the hallway by lawyers, one on one and with the clerk of courts.

I was in my car getting on the highway at home. The on ramp is also the exit ramp. Lots of trucks coming and I floored it to merge in between two trucks instead of them moving over since there was traffic in the second lane. There was cars in back of me and I didn't want to just stop dead on the ramp.

Instead of taking advise from a bunch of truckers a call to the clerk of courts is simple. I'm sure he/she will give you some other options.
