Do parking tickets come out of pocket?

I got a parking ticket on the edge of downtown Portland once. Weekday, 5:30pm, no traffic, no parked vehicles, the area was deserted for the night. I needed to be there less than another 60 seconds to get a signature. The parking enforcement officer insisted I drop everything that instant and move my truck. I told her I'd take the ticket instead of driving around about 6 blocks and parking on the other side of the street. Guess how long that took...? I threw it away, assuming the powers that be had to know she was a complete #######. Never heard a word about it.

 

The OP is asking about a parking ticket while on home time.. tickets that a driver gets while delivering.. especially at places where you hzve to park in a no parking area and wait would be different then a ticket recieved during hometime...

 

Tickets are always responsibility of the driver. Do your level best to find a place to park that is safe and you won't get a ticket for being there.

 

Welcome to the interweb. Threads "drift", probably more often than not. If you find this degree of deviation worthy of correction you might be coming down with a case of the "shoulds".

 

the op should be happy he didnt get several parking tickets if it was parked for a long period of time.
