Never parked in a handicapped spot and don’t park in stopping zones. One time I parked in a park’s parking lot while visiting the hospital across the street. Trying to avoid paying the parking fee since I was there almost daily for several weeks and that adds up. Another time I parked in a regular spot in front of a convenience store, and even went in, bought something and then went to the gym across the street for only a few minutes to pick something up. Obviously SOMEBODY was watching pretty closely both times. Both of those tickets were $105 each.
The rest added up from similar incidents - once at the beach and another time downtown near King St. Before the highest parking ticket I ever got was $40. Suddenly they’re on average $100 each! WTF.
