She was also hit with 83 traffic violations over the past four years, with 17 dings for failing to move her car for street sweeping. <\/p>\n She also admitted to using orange Con Edison traffic cones to save parking spots in the busy streets of NYC in this season of \u201cRHONY.\u201d <\/p>\n The Post published photos of the traffic cones in her car that Radziwill uses to save parking spots (seen above). William Farrington for The NY Post<\/p>\n The Post also reported that she uses an expired FDNY union placard (seen above). William Farrington for The NY Post<\/p>\n \u201cThe cone, yes. The cone. The cone is a cop family hack,\u201d Radziwill shared in a confessional. \u201cIf I\u2019m parked illegally or slightly too close to a hydrant, they will keep on walking.\u201d <\/p>\n The Post also revealed that Radziwill displays an expired FDNY union placard on her car\u2019s dashboard, despite the permits being reserved exclusively for firefighters. The placard, which expired in February, belongs to a former president of the FDNY\u2019s Uniformed Fire Officers Association, who last held the position in 2023.<\/p>\n It is unclear how she obtained the cones or the placard and she did not respond to The Post\u2019s request for comment. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t
