Excuse me , sir . You can't park here .   I am just waiting for my friends . It won't be long .   Sir , the curb here is not for parking .   But I didn't see the sign , Ma ’ am .   There is a sign at the corner of the street . When you turned in here , you should have seen it .   I didn't see it .   I am sorry , sir . I have to give you a ticket . You can appeal to the court within 14 days . You will avoid paying the fine if you can prove that you are not at fault .
