Read and discuss the following passage. What do you know about traffic rules of our country? Do you obey them?
If you have heard that driving in central London is difficult, just wait till try to find somewhere to park. Of course, it would be a little bit easier for you to park if you have Smart or Mini. But there is one more problem, except spare room for parking. If you park illegally or run over time on your parking-meter, you will get a parking ticket on your windscreen, demanding a fine. Even worse, your car may be immobilized by a wheel-clamp; follow the instructions to the Payment Center, where you must pay 38 pounds to get the clamp removed, plus a parking fine. You may have to wait several hours to recover your vehicle. For serious parking offences, vehicles may be towed away and impounded. To retrieve your vehicle you have to go to a Payment Centre and pay a 105 tow-away fee and 12 storage for each day your car has been kept in the pound.
