meh, I'm kinda running bad atm, although I guess people have their stories (friend of mine got ticketed for running down an up escalator at Penn Station when he was 18, facebook friend/enemy recently complained about getting a ticket on train at 3am for going in between cars). Those T intersections are kinda rare as most of the intersections are 4 ways, so parking in front of curb cut is usually an auto ticket. Obviously the people should know the rules if it's their job though.
As far as having a car, it depends on where you live but there's a good chance you won't need one. Basically if you're in Manhattan A) you can get anywhere on the subway quickly and B) it's a huge pain in the ass to park on the street so if you have a car you'd probably need to park in a garage which is obviously expensive. I live in Brooklyn though and in my neighborhood it happens to be very easy in general to park on the street, so I have a car for now
