Parking scooter Ticket
Wednesday, July 4th, 2012Hello
I parked my scooter as I usually did right next to but outside of the little white L shape line that marks the edge of a city paid parking spot. This paid parking spot was the last one before the cross street intersection.
I got a ticket citing that I violated Article 386 par.4 of the highway safety code (c. C-24.2), having stopped a road vehicle at less than 5m from a pedestrian crosswalk without the necessity to do so.
I contested the ticket and my planned argument is that I could not have been within 5m of the crosswalk given that I was right next to a city parking spot, which couldn’t be within 5m of the walk without itself infringing on this code.
Do you think that is a valid argument?
Thanks
