Q: I recieved a parking fine in my friends car in baltimore. If i pay it will it go on my record or hers?
Is there a way to put it on my record and not hers even if it was her car and my fault for parking there?
A: Parking citations do not go on your driving record. They only act as a flag on vehicle registration if they go unpaid, and may result in late fees and increased penalties and, ultimately, suspension of the registration and tags. The ticket only references the vehicle, so only the registered owner is known to the MVA in the event the ticket goes unpaid. It is not possible for the ticket writer to know who drove a particular car. So, only the owner will receive any notices of unpaid violations. The ticket, even unpaid, will not appear on the owner’s Driving record.

A:
You should pay it on your friend's behalf. You will need the information regarding your friend's car to insure that the ticket is paid in a timely fashion.
