    Holy shit I’ve only gotten 1 ticket in my entire life and it was BS. It’s…really not hard to not break traffic laws.

      NOT AT ALL trying to support this asshole but I know from experience it’s much harder in NYC. I know conventional wisdom is that nobody owns a car there — but there are more privately owned cars than there are parking spaces, and the city strictly enforces alternate-street parking.

      His moving violations are because he’s a bad/selfish driver but it’s harder in NYC than almost anywhere else to avoid parking tickets, unless you’re rich enough to pay for a lot/garage, which is about the price of rent in another city.

        Always plan accordingly for the conditions. It’s never ok for your lack of planning to become everyone else’s problem.
