No, not a big enough error. I suspect the judge will look down upon you and
zing it to you with court costs for annoying him. Your fine could easily
jump from $45 to $75 (including court costs). Just pay up, especially when
you know you did wrong. I have to assume that you make more in a morning
than the $45 to pay the parking fine. Does it make sense to take the time
off of work (possibly losing more than $45 in salary) to go to court and
hope that you won't have to pay? Is it worth the hassle? I think that's
why those fines are low to moderately priced as they expect people to just
pay up as it's just not worth their time. I know I don't have the time or
patience to deal with that crap.

I can see arguing if that went against your license, but it doesn't. Just
pay it and be thankful they didn't tow your car.
