I'm hoping to upgrade to an automatic transmission by paying a little extra. And I'm also wondering if there aren't many cars in the UK, so starting out shouldn't be too difficult, right ?

This morning I went to the hotel to store my luggage. I stopped by the taxi parking line at the door to unload my luggage. The police came in less than two minutes. They gave me a ticket. I was standing next to the car at the time and couldn't even say I would leave right away. It's really unfortunate. I returned the car after storing the luggage.
