So about 3 months ago i was driving a UHAUL to move a bunch of stuff into my new apt.
One of my buddies who helped me carry some stuff up the stairs wanted to get a few beers, so i agreed, I couldnt take the truck back until morning so i drove it to the bar. I parked in a Handicapp spot, dont know why, Ive done it a hundred times before at this bar, and in this particular parking lot, the handicapp spots are for an adjacent building anyways, which is closed at night, so I figured it was no big deal, and cops never ticket around this lot anyways.
But I come out a few hours later and damn, got a ticket sitting there for $100 for parking in a handicapp spot.
My friend who helped me carry stuff up stairs, actually HAS a handicapp hang tag (I know, ironic isn't it?) and he says "this happens to me all the time, just get a photocopy of my hangtag, send it in with the ticket, they will throw it out"
Well since my "handicapped" friend and I are tied for the #1 worlds biggest procrastinator, we never got around to sending in the copy of the hangtag or taking care of the ticket, or whatever. we just plain forgot all about it.
The ticket said it had to be paid in 10 days, its been close to 3 months, if I figure in all the late fines that are stated on the ticket, its probably more like $150 now.
Im wondering if the exceptionally inteligent people at any of the 3 traffic bureas involved, including the even more exceptionally intelligent people at UHAUL, are going to string all this together and actually trace it back to me? Im thinking no, because, like I said, there are THREE traffic bureas involved, let me explain;
The van in question had Arizona Plates
The van was rented from, and insured by, a UHAUL in Ohio
The van was ticketed in Michigan
Any thoughts?
