My question involves a Handicap parking citation from the state of: California
Received a Handicap parking ticket because we forgot to hang the placard on rear view mirror. I note that California Vehicle Code Section 42001.13 "Imposition of Fine Unlawful Parking in Disabled Space" subsection (c) states: The court may suspend the imposition of the fine if the person convicted possessed at the time of the offense, but failed to display, a valid special identification license plate issued pursuant to Section 5007 or a distinguishing placard issued pursuant to Section 22511.55 or 22511.59.
Is anyone here familiar enough with the California courts and judges to know of requesting a suspension under this section of the vehicle code? I am concerned about the word 'may' in the code and what other factors a judge may consider here. Our only excuse is 'we forgot.'
This will be heard in the City of Manhattan Beach, if that makes any difference.
