To beat parking tickets, you must prove your innocence or find fault with the ticket itself and have the ticket tossed out on a technicality. To prove your innocence, you will need to document your case, mostly with photographs of the area in which you got your ticket. Depending on the nature of your ticket, certain factors may have caused it. This includes improper signage, missing signage or blocked signage. It can also be the result of chipped, faded, or covered painted instructions on the cement. Alternatively, it could be because a meter was broken or not calibrated. Whatever you feel caused the ticket, be sure to get proof of it. In addition, you should be sure to carefully read your ticket to see if the information on it is correct, as improper information can lead to a dismissal.
