What was the polite request?
If you park your car in the wrong place,
a traffic policeman will soon find it.
You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket.
However, this does not always happen.
Traffic police are sometimes very polite.
During a holiday in Sweden,
I found this note on my car:
'sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a No Parking area.
You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This note is only a reminder.'
If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it!
