Parking Too Close to a Fire Hydrant

If ticketed for parking too close to a fire hydrant, taking pictures of the scene is a good idea. If you happen to have a tape measure, ask a witness to assist you in measuring the distance and, if possible, ask for their contact information.

    I received a parking ticket for parking my motorcycle (sport bike) within 15 ft of a fire hydrant. My actual location is rather debatable. It looked like I was just barely out of the 15ft range. Should I still contest it? If so, would it be more effective to contest it by mail or in-person? Will an in-person hearing take time from my workday? (I work 9am to 5pm). I am willing to contest it in person as I am better presenting a case in person, but not if it takes too much time from the workday. I can also be an effective writer (when I really try) so arguing my case in a letter isn’t something I’d be against. I would just like to know which way will provide me with a better chance of winning my case. I have pictures of my bike in relation to the fire hydrant and a picture of the sidewalk with no painted, yellow line indicating the 15ft range near the fire hydrant. Is the absence of the yellow line enough to contest the ticket? Or did I need a measuring tape marked at 15ft to show my bike was just out of range? Help please??
