I just received my first parking ticket with the Smart. I decided to park perpendicular to the curb in front of my office on 8th Street in San Francisco (ironically, just about 50 feet away from the Smart Center).
Parking was much tighter than usual, so I decided to parked nose in, so my front tires were touching the curb. There was plenty of space to my left and right.
I received a ticket stating that I was in violation of VC 22502A - Over 18" from Curb. ARTICLE 7: PENALTIES
I was definitely not 18" from the curb, I was actually touching the curb. I am going to contest this ticket, but wanted to find out if others have been successful in disputing this. We are helping to save parking spaces - we shouldn't be punished for making more space for cars to park!
