    Parking fines are strict liability meaning that you did so pay up. You might get a judge to reduce the fine a little but for the most part they are going to point you to the clerk of court to pay your fine. Parking a truck outside of a truckstop these days is getting stickier all the time. If it were me I would just mail the fine and be careful about parking in that town, all of the time off work to maybe get a few bucks off the fine just isn't worth the trouble.

    Aw you're so sweet, now we've got pet names. Look, hotrod, all I asked for was some advice from experienced drivers, which with 28 years experience you would be. But having an attitude isn't very professional. I'm sorry you happened to have crawled your way into a question from a 22 year old driver that's been driving since August, a question that is obviously ions below you.

    I do not believe so. He comes off as a typical kid, making a mistake and wanting no way to owe up to his responsibility.

    And thanks for liking me, I promise not to stalk you!

    I think both sides need to relax in here. It's a parking ticket and Georgetown does not play when it comes to tickets.

    I remember in my very early days when I kept poking a paperclip into a wall outlet, it wasn't a kind lesson, but I got the point right away.

    Oh man, that is not only funny, but I "know that shyte" too!

    Yeah, some "kids" think they know it all, and think that they need not pay up. Who knows, maybe someday the o/p will learn, then again...??

    I would at least make a phone call to get it reduced.
