Anyone who receives a $30 Toronto parking ticket can almost certainly dodge the fine by applying for a court date.
Since the start of 2006, figures provided by Toronto's court services show it accepted about 250,000 requests from drivers to contest a $30 parking ticket, but trial dates were issued for only about 4,300. In 2008, drivers have so far requested more than 37,000 trials for $30 parking tickets, but no court dates have been issued.
This doesn't help me in my crusade to eliminate cars from the road, however it is an interesting item nonetheless.
