The OP said it was a genuine mistake and if that is the case then he probably has a good chance of getting out of the fine. He said it wasn't about the money buut about the principle if that is the case getting out the fine might be appealing to him but then again maybe he will just suck it up.

I've written the letter that saves $180 bucks. I do things all the time that break the rules, thankfully the one time I was disproportionately fined for it I was able to just write a letter to say I was sorry. I could have sucked it up but I chose not to. If I get caught again soon I guess I'll just have to suck it up.
