Hmm. Getting a $115 fine for parking in front of a hydrant means I didn’t get free parking for a day in Manhattan on Saturday after all.
No wonder there was a space there.
Thanks to Kevin Steel for sharing a lovely Creative Commons licensed Manhattan hydrant photo on Flickr. I was so annoyed that I failed to get a photo of the actual hydrant involved, but it was similar to this one. (And by the way, I hereby resolve to switch my default license to CC attribution later tonight. Right after I pay this fine.)
So, like me, you find yourself being an Englishman in New York soon, be careful not to ignore these expensive little metal posts of illegal parking.
Maybe thats what Sting was trying to warn us about?
Hmm. This is harder than I thought.
It’s been 2 business days since the violation, and I have 20 days in which to pay. I’m going to wait a little longer for it to show up in the system.
