Page 96 - Exercise 11

Part B - Listen again. Which of the drivers did something wrong?

1 - Oh, no, not another parking ticket. That’s the second one this week. Why did I get a ticket for parking here? I thought this was a free parking zone.

• Maybe you can only park here after working hours. Is there a sign around anywhere?

• Oh, you’re right. There’s one over there. I didn’t even notice it. Looks like you can’t park here till after 6 P.M.

• How much is the fine?

• Would you believe it? $60.

2 - I wonder why that traffic officer is signaling me.

• Perhaps he means you’re driving too fast.

• No, I don’t think so. The speed limit is 60 and I’m only going 55.

• I wonder why there are no other cars in this Lane.

• What do you mean?

• Well you see how the other cars are all in the lane next to us.

• You’re right. I think this one is just for buses and taxis. They really should put up better signs around here.

3 - That’s weird. The last few cars driving toward us were flashing their lights.

• I see what you mean there’s another one.

• Maybe my lights are on or something. Let me check. No, they’re off.

• Do you think there’s an accident up ahead? Maybe you’d better slow down.

• Oh, now I see what’s happening. There’s a patrol car up ahead, checking people speed. How nice of those other drivers to let me know. Well, I’m within the speed limit. At least I am now.
