Question:

how to avoid penalty for 313-Hydrant parking violation?

I recently moved from Georgia-atlanta to boston. I am visiting first time to downtown and parked nearby Haymarket. when i came back after 30 mins, i noticed a parking violation ticket (313-hydrant) on my car. I didn't noticed that parking not allowed on that day(satuday). ther is no sign board that says abt the fire hydrant. since i got another appointment shortly i moved from that place. violation ticket has my old plate number. my registration expired in couple of days after the date and i got a new MA state registration plate. is ther any way they can trace me with my old plate number. can i avoid paying the fine. not asking to hide from mistake, just curious to know.anyway is ther any way i can avoid it.

Answer:

Willeke is wrong - Icelandic roads are generally maintained to very high standards, at least compared to roads with similar traffic levels in, say, the US. We even build tunnels through mountains just to serve tiny fishing villages. We maintain our transportation system thusly: 1) There's few roads into the interior (where nobody lives), and all are closed in the winter. Aka, there's less land to cover. 2) We spend a lot per capita on our roads system (but make up for it elsewhere, such as by having no military) 3) There's only one main road (Hringvegurinn - the Ring Road) which goes around the country. There's a bunch of smaller feeder roads. The roads are all physically generally kept to good standards relative to their design, but A) they may or may not be particularly free of snow and ice in the winter, and B) some of them, in particular those serving less people and/or in more difficult areas, are by design, gravel roads, which inherently have some greater risks associated with driving them. 4) There is no train system. Hence we don't pay to maintain a separate transportation system, and utilization figures remain higher on Hringvegurinn than they would be if its traffic was split up. There's other reasons as well, but it's a start. Nonetheless, it's a challenge for a number or reasons: 1) The low density, as you mentioned. 2) Very rugged, often unstable volcanic terrain. 3) Significant weathering action - it's a very wet and windy country, and it doesn't help that many vehicles deal with the ice by using studded tires. 4) Certain regions are prone to j?kulhlaup - huge volcanic flash floods. The largest of these in the past couple hundred years was from Katla and was bigger than the flood stage of the River, but there've been ones much larger than even that further in the past. Even little j?kulhlaups can take out roads and bridges, so the transportation authority has to do close monitoring and be prepared to rebuild rapidly afterwards.
Ask this in the legal section, there are actually some lawyers on that section who know a lot about this kind of stuff. ) Good luck.
