Big Apple drivers are trying to steer clear of pricy parking tickets — and curb people from taking their spots.
Some Bronx motorists are getting creative to avoid $250 tickets now that about 1,000 MTA buses are equipped with cameras to capture the license plates of cars blocking bus lanes.
A video shared online showed a row of vehicles illegally parked in a bus lane on Webster Avenue were sitting with their trunks popped open, their license plates facing the sky, in a bid to evade the cameras.
“POV: You’re avoiding a bus lane ticket in NYC,” one TikToker shared last Sunday.

Some were impressed by the move.
“This is actually genius,” one woman marveled in the comments on the clip, which got 150,000 views.
“If only my plate was mounted on the trunk and not the bumper,” one man lamented.
