FREQUENT (UNSUCCESSFUL) APPEAL
This is your first ticket.
You didn't mean to park illegally.
You cannot afford the ticket.
You were not the one driving/parking the car.
You could not find a legal parking space nearby.
You didn't know what the rules were.
You have waited more than 48 hours to appeal.
Someone told you that you could park there, but you didn't check to see whether that was true.
Everyone else parks there.
This is your third ticket and you think the additional $100 penalty is unfair. (Or maybe You are not in agreement with Sewanee's parking policies.)
