My Father has parked his vehicle like this for years, blocking his own driveway by parking across the front of it. He has never received a ticket in the 30 years he has done it like this. He lives in the suburbs however, and I wouldn't doubt some idiot parking nazi in a city would give him a ticket if he lived within city limits. The problem is that most cities contract out their parking enforcement to a company that is not even good enough to be called a rent-a-cop. Unlike real policemen, meter-maids don't bother to look up the registration of the license plate before writing a citation or towing a vehicle. For example, a co-worker that works out of our Maryland office has regularly received tickets in downtown DC from meter-maids because his work truck does not have front license plates...and they are not required in Maryland!
