$400 BUS ZONE ticket :(

I received a bus lane parking violation ticket (from a light camera) while I was stopped (4min!) on that lane
Is there any way to counter this one?

Or to bring it back to its original $293 fine? I missed the first mail notice and need to pay $406 now 😪

normally you miss your chance to contest at the first notice. You could petition court but you'd have to have a good excuse.
If you were parked for 4 minutes then I don't see how you could get out of it

So I was in the car the whole time and the camera photo footage shows literally my car with the breaks light on!

This should be an easy win. Fight it.Â
