More fascinating stuff, as reported in TODAY. The Merc driver who had parked illegally at Empress Place to join in the rush for the free (no admission charge) last 24 hours of the Vatican exhibition at the ACM, and caused a tailback of some 30 or so vehicles that could not move till he came back to his car, had this to say about himself:
1. 'I certainly wouldn't mind a heavier punishment ($70 fine)...'
2. 'Never did I imagine a big bus... would pass by. (Excuse me, big bus or no big bus, illegal parking is illegal parking) In that hour or so, I had no hint at all of the trouble I'd caused by parking the car there. There was also no announcement over the public announcement system.' (I see, park illegally till you hear announcement, 'Will the owner of...')
3. 'You know, I hate inconveniencing people, I hate causing others trouble.'
4. 'I do hope that the authorities can consider drawing a zig-zag yellow line or make special marking at that particular spot to prevent people like me from unknowingly causing so much trouble.' (Hello, down there got double yellow line already)
