i just got a parking ticket for parking in the red zone. i always thought that if the front tires were behind the red it was "OK". my front bumper was hanging over the red, ~8"-10" over.
i've searched on dmv's website, but couldn't find any specific info regarding this violation. all it said was no parking in the red zone.

No matter what I'd try going into court and see if they might throw it out, you never know.
