This book is amazing. It explains in plain English everything you need to know about how to fight a NYC parking ticket. If this book had come out ten years ago I would have saved myself a lot of time, aggrivation and money spent using all the wrong methods and defenses fighting parking tickets. If you regularly park in NYC you cannot afford to wait until you get a ticket to buy this book. Buy a copy now, read it cover to cover (this book is actually funny and entertaining!) and then keep it in your glove compartment as a reference.

This book is the one the cops or brownies (ticket enforcement agents) want to ban for all NYC residents to purchase. This tells you great ways of how to beat those tickets by following the simple (plain english written) techniques. Either by a missing or defective info on the ticket, ways to defend yourself when mailing or appearing at DMV hearing, as well ways to contest & appeal a decission issued by those so called judges.

I would recommend for anyone that has a car in NYC to buy this book (or even if you only come here occaisionally to shop, dine or for business) to buy this, since its almost certain that you will recieve a min of one to two tickets a year by those gotcha creepy officers. I purchased this book & followed the advice in the book & was able to get my two expensive $115 ea parking tickets dismissed. I'm waiting now for the response from them on a new ticket that I send back. I hope & pray that I'll be able to strike-them out 3 to 0.

Certaintly a good investment, considering that the min NYC fine is $35 and the max $115 (or $180 in some areas) this is just a fraction of the savings (12% to 40%) if you just get only one ticket dismissed.

I got a parking ticket recently that upset me to no end. I was helping my 74-year-old mother down to the car from my apartment - she had gotten a sprained ankle a few days earlier. In the two minutes I was away from my car, I got a very expensive ticket that I felt was totally unwarranted.

I knew I wanted to fight this ticket but I didn't really understand the law well enough to know the best way to do it. Then somebody told me about this book.

This book turned is the best investment I've made in a long time. Everything in the book is indexed and easy to find - I was able to find the part of the book that fit my infraction in thirty seconds flat.

Then, in layman's terms, the book revealed the best defenses for my ticket and any parking ticket: What works, what doesn't work, and why. Within minutes I had formulated my plan of action.

When I had my day in court, the judge was so impressed with my arguments, he asked me if I was a lawyer (I'm not). This book is that good.

This book is surprisingly inexpensive, considering how much it is likely to save an average New Yorker over the course of the year. I plan on getting it as gifts for all my friends in the city who own cars! They're gonna love me.

The book explains how the parking ticket system works (in New York City, but these rules apply most anywhere) and gives legal ways to get out of your parking tickets. I got an $85 ticket dismissed in NYC by following the book's instructions. This purchase was worth every penny!

The book needs an editor. Many parts were written without editing and causes confusion.

On the flip side, the book has many good tips and funny stories. Using its tips will increase your chances of winning the case. At the beginning of the book, it explains which tickets are invalid. Although with electronic ticketing, it's harder to get invalid tickets. I didn't regret buying it. The book is not a "get out of jail" tips/pass. Its tips does not always work as I got fine for 2 expensive tickets. The judge still found me guilty. After reading the book, the best way is to not park in Manhattan. If you really have to park for emergency, at least park at a least expensive place like expired meter. Stay out of Manhattan or Queens, cops are crazy there.

I found this book really helpful in formulating my plan of attack for (what I believe to be) a totally unwarranted ticket. Clear and concise explanations with lots of easy to access information. A must have for every New Yorker who parks their car!

You can find some good info in this book but dont expect too much. You will still have to have a good excuse to beat your ticket. I bought this book after I got a parking ticket in NYC only to realize that the cop got my license plate # wrong. Boy, were I glad.

Just got this book last night, and after 15 minutes I've already found a technicality that should get me out of a $90 ticket! A very informative and entertaining read. Well worth the asking price if you've ever gotten a ticket in NYC, or park there with any regularity.

I got a 95 dollar parking ticket in the City the other day for being 10 minutes over the allowed time in pouring rain (thanks guys!). Got this book, found a technical defect, disputed the ticket on the grounds of the defect, and - presto!, haven't heard from them since. A must-read for anyone who ever drives in New York City, including cab drivers, doctors, etc etc.
