    I guess it depends on what
    the sign actually says. but I think it's worth challenging.
    He wasn't charged for a parking violation that's the point I think.

    If you look at the point schedule you will see the LEO didn't quite get the right code.
    Code 46.2.830 .1 is "failure to obey traffic sign(parking or sleeping on roadway)" which has 0(ZERO) points.
    Code 46.2.830 is "failure to obey traffic sign" has 3 points.
    That ".1" has a big effect on your license. I get an attorney and argue that part of the citation. Could possibly get the whole thing thrown out.

    I would think that a bad citation would be thrown out regardless, but it might vary by state.
