A parent was at their child's school, trying to park in a parking space. Four buses were lined up in front of the school, loading students in a designated loading zone. The parent had to get to the other side of the school buses to get to the parking lot. The students do not have to step into the parking lot to get onto a bus, and there were no pedestrians in the parking lot. The buses are usually sitting for ten to fifteen minutes, so waiting for them to leave was not a good option. When the parent passed the buses to get to the parking area, the school resource officer ran out and gave the parent a ticket for passing the school buses, New Hampshire RSA 265:54. Does the parent have a defense to the ticket?
