It’s still kr@p and needs to be reformed.
I have parking tickets from various locales that I have never paid. Mistakes were made in the documentation. Catch me if you can, parking Nazis. [”Free” parking is one meme that has helped to make America great.]

All of my vehicles have a range of > 500 miles.
