0:37Hey, excuse me, Officer!
0:41Good afternoon, Ma'am.
0:43What's going on? Did I do something wrong?
0:47Your meter ran out. You've been parked over the time limit, so I'm writing you a ticket.
0:53No way! I'm pretty sure I put enough money in the meter.
0:59Actually, you're 15 minutes late.
1:02Oh man, I am so sorry!
1:06My meeting went longer than I thought, and I didn't even have time to notice the time.
1:12I get it, but unfortunately, the law doesn't care about the reason.
1:18Officer, I'm only 15 minutes late. Can you just... give me a break, please?
1:25I'm sorry. I didn't write the law.
1:28It would really make my day
if you could be a little... easy on me..
1:33I wish I could, but I can’t. It wouldn’t be fair to the other drivers.
1:38But this is my first time! I really tried to get back on time.
1:42Can't you just let me off with a warning?
1:45Sorry, but I can't do that. The ticket has already been written.
1:50Oh no, my car insurance is going to go up like crazy after this.
1:57Don't worry, a parking ticket
won't be added to your driving record,
2:01so it won't affect your insurance.
2:06Yeah, but if you don't pay it,
2:08it can prevent you from renewing your car
registration.
2:12You might also run into some trouble with the law if the ticket goes unpaid.
2:17Got it. How much is the fine, and when do I have to pay?
2:22It's a hundred dollars, and you have 30 days to pay.
2:27But I would suggest you pay it early.
2:29There were extra fees if you pay it late.
2:32A hundred bucks for 15 minutes.
2:36This is such an expensive lesson.
2:40If you think you have a good reason,
you can always contest the ticket.
2:45Like, I can go to court and say I don't deserve this ticket?
2:50Exactly. You have 30 days to either pay it or contest it.
2:56Should I... push my luck?
2:59Ha ha! It's your call. Honestly, I don't think you have a strong case,
3:04but it doesn't hurt to try, you know?
3:07What will happen if I contest it and... lose?
3:12You'll have to pay the original fine,
3:14and probably some extra fees if you pay it late.
3:18Thanks for explaining all that. I'll think about it.
3:23Do you have any other questions?
3:26Yes I do. How can I pay the fine?
3:29Just look at the back of the ticket.
3:31It has all of the info you need.
3:34Oh, okay. Thanks again.
3:39I'll never forget this. I'll be more careful with the time from now on.
3:45No problem. We all make mistakes. Just remember to check your meter next time.
3:50Oh, wait, this isn't my car!
3:56It looks exactly like my car, but this isn't my license plate.
4:01I think I parked my car... over there.
4:05Well, it seems the real issue
wasn't the meter after all.
4:09Yeah, apparently, it's my eyes! Guess I need to pay for glasses, not tickets!
6:46Don't forget to watch until the end
