A few questions about tickets

[2kblackgtp]

So I was in Kenilworth the other night and came out to my car to find 2 tickets on my car. Backstory is going to meet a friend at a bar, I came down the road, could not find parking on the right side of the street, turned around in a driveway, and parked on the left side, along with 2 or 3 other cars. Apparently this is a one way road(I didn't realize this at the time), although it is a wide road and I saw multiple cars parked the same direction I parked in as I came down the road.

So obviously this is one of the tickets I received: 39:4-135 Parking-Direction/Side of st-angle pkng- one way

In addition, I received :39:3-4 Driving or parking unregistered motor vehicle

My immediate response was "Bull****, I renewed my registration back in march!" I look at the registration, it is only good until 4/2012. But i did definitely register my car in march, so how is a registration only good for two months?

Are either of these tickets points tickets?

If they are, is there any basis to fight either of them? I figure the parking on the wrong side of the street is my own fault anyway, and I should have looked at the registration more closely when I got it, but I kind of feel cheated I got 2 months out of paying full price for a registration then got a ticket when I assumed I was good until march of 2013. I'm not trying to shake off my own responsibility in this situation, and either way, if it's not a points ticket, I may as well just eat the $108 dollars than to lose a couple hundred bucks from not working plus pay court costs and potentially have to pay $108 anyway.

i think jeff mentioned a few months back they did something different with the registrations and license renewal. i dont know exactly what though.

Did you let your registration lapse? If so that would explain the short registration. Not much you do for that. They sound like just fines and not moving violations

If it was only good until 04/2012, it seems you didn't renew in 04/11 yet still drove the car, no? I don't think either ticket is a points ticket.

neither are points. confirm registration, renew if needed, pay fines, and call it a lesson learned.

Thanks for the replies guys. Went to renew my registration, the woman at mvc confirmed that I did not register last year and rather than applying my registration for this year, it was done for last. I did not register last year because the car was off the road and not being used. I'm glad they aren't points tickets, I'd hate to try to fight something that is really my own fault

[Featherburner]

I kind of figured that is what they did.
