Steve Tanner dislikes parking tickets just as much as the rest of us.
But Mr. Tanner, after getting two tickets in February for not displaying a Chicago city sticker, decided to do something about it and fight back.
Unfortunately, Tanner’s sticker was one of the tens of thousands of city stickers sold last year without enough adhesive to remain affixed to his windshield.
The cold weather of the Blizzard of 2011 ultimately took its toll and Tanner’s sticker wound up on the floor of his car and thus, replaced by two orange tickets on his windshield.
Tanner does an amazing job of documenting how the entire process of his journey from violation to building a case to ultimately having both tickets dismissed at his hearing on his blog, SteveandAmySly.com.
Anyone who wants to learn the fundamentals of successfully contesting a parking ticket should take a few minutes and read over Tanner’s full account, “Parking Ticket Battle: Steve 2, City of Chicago 0.”
