Can I Get a Ticket While I’m Inside the Car?

Yes! You can get a ticket while you are in the car. Make sure you aren’t parked in the wrong location or parked incorrectly.

Arguing with the officer who fines you won’t help, and it’s better to receive the ticket graciously and then quickly figure out your next move - if you contest the ticket quickly after the incident, the faster it will take to receive the decision.
