“What’s my chances of contesting it?”

“Dear PoPville,

I got a parking ticket today in Georgetown because of expired tags. I got a new car in June and wanted to transfer my old tags to the new car. The tag transfer process was held up because of a “fee error” by the DMV in early Aug

(it’s an EV and sales tax is exempt which I believe was what the fee error was). Then in September it was held up again because my license had expired (before the expired license renewal deadline). There was no notice whatsoever until I called the DMV and asked why it was taking so long. I submitted my new license as soon as it got renewed. I called again and the DMV told me the tag transfer will be processed by Thanksgiving. Now my temp tags have expired and got a $100 ticket for that today. What’s my chances of contesting it?”
