Bus zone?
Unless you drive a bus - your paying that ticket.
And yea, po-po, I hate em too.

is it legal to drive away as they are writing that ticket? it seems like its another excuse to chase you down and stop you for good?

All public services are required by law to offer service in French because it is recognized as an official language in Canada.
I love the logic in here though. "Technically you weren't parked"

When I took bus at coliseum bart in east oakland there were people using the bus zone as a drop off like every 15 minutes. Cops were ALWAYS on the prowl there and I would be sweatin 4 them. I would just watch in suspense as the passenger would take forever to gather their bags all leisurely. Banter for a few minutes with the driver and then take forever to say bye and thank you for the ride. Its all fun and games until you get caught. The driver always looked like they got falsely accused of murder.
I would even try and warn them in the begginning but I would always get hit with the
and some sorta backtalk.

He wasnt parked, according to the definition. Look it up. If it was a bus lane that the law was probably "no stopping" not "no parking".Originally Posted by s0leFUNK

Its a bus lane, you arent supposed to be there under any circumstances, end of story. Pay the fine, lesson learned. Tell your boy to get some extra exercise next time.

If you were at a bus zone the curb most likely was painted red. Looks like you'll have to pay the ticket. According to the California Driver Handbook (I have it in front of me), it says:
Red curb- No stopping, standing, or parking. (Buses may stop at a red zone marked for buses).
Damn cops though

It's a bus loading area, you cant interfere with public transportation hence the hefty ticket price.
And I'm sure you were stopped there long enough to warrant a ticket. Granted his car may not have been in "park". But if you stop for more than 10 seconds then it's not exactly a regular "stop" anymore (say at a stop sign or something).
If it's not a stop nor a park, you're still interfering with the buses. Gotta take the L.
L for lesson

And if you end up going to court for it let us know how it goes, good luck.
