Today I got my first parking ticket, actually it’s my second but I won’t count it. The first time I didn’t know I got a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt until my dad took my car for an inspection. I told my dad that I would never drive without wearing a seatbelt or even let anyone sit in my car without the seatbelts on. I still don’t understand how I was fined for something I didn’t do. 

So anyways today was different, I was at the other side of Salmiya and I wanted to check some shops there. I quickly found a parking space. I parked nicely, looked for some coins in my purse and I found 50 fils. I inserted the coin in the parking meter and left. When I got back 20 minutes later I found a traffic ticket on my windshield. My time was up only 5 minutes and I got a ticket? I don’t usually break any rules and what made matters worse is the car I was driving was not registered in my name. So I got more pissed. Aren’t there exceptions of any sort? I have to pay 5kd but that doesn’t bother me as much as the fact that I’m fined for parking in a proper parking space while other people I know always get away with parking in wrong places!
