We’re talking about your driving record here. So, what happens to it when you get a violation that doesn’t come from the police?
“For example, you live in a community, maybe it’s an apartment complex, a condo building or something like that, and you rent a parking space. You park there, you’re allowed to park there, and then you receive a warning: ‘You are illegally parked,’” he said. “Does this go on your record? No, it does not, but you’ve got to be cautious about stuff like this.”
How Trooper Steve sees it, warnings like this are typically associated with private property, and though you pay for the location, there are also usually some guidelines to follow.
“Your car must be functioning, maybe all the tires must look good or in this case, they require your tag to be up to date. So, maybe you didn’t put the sticker on it, you just go show and take care of it,” he said.
While again, it won’t affect your driving record, such violations could ultimately affect your permission to park there or even get you towed.
