(62,444 posts)I travel quite a bit.
There are towns in this country who make their revenue from obscured parking rules and speed signs around bends. In point of fact, its a LOT easier not to know a speed limit or limited parking area when you are somewhere OTHER than a place with which you are familiar.
Hell, I did not know that in the State of Connecticut, one cannot make a left turn on a red light to a one way street. Did you? Guess how the fuck I found that out.
Aside from which, when I used to commute to work, I did not live in the same city or state in which I lived.
So, explain me this then, nobody from out of town gets a parking ticket where you live?
I don't know what the geography is like where you live, but there are at least 20 different jurisdictions within 20 miles of my residence. I'm going to take a wild guess and assume you live in the midwest someplace where towns are 100 miles apart and nobody commutes.
