Road Runner Didn't Run Quite Fast Enough

Observed by BicyclesOnly on Tue, Dec 19 2006

This driver for Roadrunner knew to get in and start driving once he saw me with the camera. Here's the video:

How about just parking outside the bike lane in the first place next time?

He had two car lengths of legal space right across the street, but instead he chose to park in the bike lane. Way to go Time Warner Cable and Roadrunner!

Wow, nycbicycle-didn't know you could get the basis for the accrued fines off that nyc.gov website. Can you search by violation and see who has the most unpaid bike lane violations? I could think of a few ways to use that information . . .

Some of these cars have over 1,00 dollars in unpaid tickets. Does anybody ever get their license revoked, or go to jail for this kind of thing?

I looked into that . . . it seems that NYS has no authority for parking tickets but indicates that NYS DMV MAY be contacted by local law enforcement authorities who do and it MAY be requested to refuse to reauthorize your license on that basis so you MAY find that, when your license expires 8 years after it was issue, you've got a problem. Not exactly a model of state-municipality cooperation.

Jason V- if they have $350 or more in unpaid tickets, the City Marshall can tow them on the spot:
