My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California city of Seal Beach. When we are driving going to the beach, me and my wife saw the "entrance sign" for the parking but there is no '"Pay Parking Sign" where we drive in. But if we go to the other direction you could see it. Since this is our first time in the area so basically look for space to park and headed to the beach. We did not pay the parking fees because we did not see the signs. When we went back to our vehicle, saw the ticket on my windsheild.
I wrote a request for Administrative review for my case and told them my real story but they still want me to pay the fees. This is the result, (No person shall park a motor vehicle in a motor vehicle parking lot without a valid parking permit properly dislalyed on the dashboard).
My question is if I go to this Hearing, base on my true story, do I have a chance of either waive my fees or at least reduce it down, or just pay the $48.00 fees? Is there way out of it?
Thanks
