To the person who found me by searching for "can you get a parking ticket in dc for having va tag where there are no sign":

Yes.  If it involves a non-moving car, you can get a ticket for it in DC.

If you remember that rule, you may save yourself a few parking tickets.  I won't say that you will save yourself from getting any parking tickets, because that's impossible.  But you can perhaps minimize them by assuming that you will always be ticketed.  You will usually be right.

Anyway, I suggest you contest any ticket you might receive.  It makes you feel better, and you can do it by mail, so it hardly costs anything.

something.

I had always heard that it was illegal to park at a broken meter. Maybe that's just a rumor.

I can only rely on the

I can only rely on the authority of my source - Dr. Gridlock's column in today's Washington Post.

"You are allowed to park at a broken meter, but you have to report it right away by calling 202-541-6030, the number printed on that yellowish-greenish decal on the meter."
