Reducing the fine on Parking Tickets

Here is a tip if you live in New York and get a parking ticket. The following explains how to get a reduced fine.

Department of Finance, who you must pay your penalty to, manages the adjudication process. They are overwhelmed by the incoming disputes. If you get a ticket, just contest it via good old snail mail.
In a couple of days, you will receive a piece of mail from them offering you a reduced fine. Alternatively, they also offer you to appear before a judge and claim your innocence. My advice, take the reduced fine, because you know you are guilty :-)

I heard this from good authority, and they already got two of their tickets reduced from $65 to $42.
