That is one hilarious story. XD At least it is nice to know the cop is doing his job.

Venono, at my place, the criteria of U turn is rather odd. Some make logical sense, some don't.
If you miss a turn, your 'legal' U turn is maybe 5km away, I honestly don't want to waste that journey.
Petrol ain't cheap. Besides, the roads are WIDE where I U-turn.

I dislike paying parking ticket especially to open car park. Because, I don't feel SAFE. The cops are only there to coupon the wrong parkers, but not there to guard the cars. -__-;; So, I am more willing to pay at shopping mall car parks as their security is tighter, with CCTV and gate, the plus side is it most often with roof.
