0:04.9 | Just before Thanksgiving, my dad called me and informed me that I had failed to pay a parking ticket |
0:09.5 | and that my license had been suspended. Concerned that I would get pulled over and ticketed, |
0:14.2 | I decided to pay the ticket right there and then on my phone. Since I couldn't print the confirmation |
