To avoid this issue, it is important to transfer the ownership of a vehicle as soon as possible after selling it. You can do this by visiting your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office and completing the necessary paperwork. You will need to provide the new owner's information, as well as the vehicle's title and registration. Once the transfer is complete, you will no longer be responsible for any parking violations that occur.
Here are some additional tips to avoid getting a parking ticket for a vehicle you do not own:
* Make sure that you have the correct license plate number on file with the DMV. If your license plate number is incorrect, you may receive parking tickets that are intended for another vehicle.
* If you receive a parking ticket for a vehicle that you do not own, contact the DMV immediately to dispute the ticket. You will need to provide proof that you are not the owner of the vehicle, such as a copy of the bill of sale or the vehicle's title.
* If you are unable to dispute the ticket, you may be able to pay it online or by mail. However, it is important to note that paying the ticket will not absolve you of responsibility for the violation. If you continue to receive parking tickets for the same vehicle, you may be subject to additional penalties, such as having your vehicle towed or impounded.
