If you park your car in the wrong place, the traffic police will soon find it. If you are lucky, they will let you go without a ticket. However this does not always happen.
My friend told me that when he was on a holiday in Sweden, he found a note on his car. It said “Sir, welcome to our city, this is a ‘No parking’ area, if you want to have a happy stay here, please pay attention to our street signs.“ The note was just a reminder, but if you receive this kind of request from the police, you probably cannot fail to obey it.
