yonge st between sheppard and finch, after 4, and your car/bike is still there, chances are it's already getting hooked up to a tow truck.

Doesn't the ticket have the vehicle information? License plate and stuff?

Re: FUC* YOU MT-pleasant......
Most busy streets are off limits for parking after around 3:30pm because it creates congestion for people coming to or going from work. If you park in one of these areas, they'll tow you right on the minute.. and rightfully so.
As for your fire hydrant ticket, you should've snapped a picture and gone to fight it.

Re: FUC* YOU MT-pleasant......
Read the parking signs, don't park on major streets during rush hour, problem solved. I am glad they tow vehicles that cause even more traffic then what there is already.
Re: FUC* YOU MT-pleasant......
Sorry, but reading the signs doesn't help. Did you know that in North York you are not allowed to park on ANY streets between 2am and 6am during the winter months?

Look at Offence #28. Now tell me how would reading the signs would have prevented me from getting a ticket. Because I'm pretty sure there wasn't any rush hour traffic on that dead end street at 4am, unless you counted a raccoon and two squirrels.

Re: FUC* YOU MT-pleasant......
Mississauga has that also. You have to know the rules of the city you are parking in. It's a pain in the *** but that doesn't have anything to do with parking on a busy street during rush hour. 4am isn't rush hour which is what I was posting about in regards with being towed. There are signs saying no parking between certain hours on certain streets, not obeying the signs will get you towed.

Re: FUC* YOU MT-pleasant......
I'm not an excuse maker. If that's your thing, hey, run with it.
All I'm pointing out is that if someone's angry because there's a law they got dinged for breaking who's fault is it then, in your opinion?
Given your position that I"m on a high horse, I'm sure you've always thought your defense in course would be, "But your honour, how am I supposed to know?" and would work.
Are you thinking yet, or just stuck on your idea that I"m superior in some way. - get it right, by no means do I think I am. But you're obviously offended by something.

Re: FUC* YOU MT-pleasant......
I agree with this. Yes, there are many stupid places you can't park and plenty of parking tickets given out just to make cash. But when traffic is slowing to a crawl because some inconsiderate person left their car blocking a majorly over stuffed main roadway that is already designed for 1/5th of the traffic Toronto has, damn right I want to see it on a truck ASAP. Preferably before I get stuck on the road behind it.
