I was taking my grandmother to her favorite fabric and notion store.I pulled over to the curb,adjacent to the store to let her out.Then I got out to open the car door for her and help her out.I helped her walk across the sidewalk and I was holding the store door open for her when I noticed a ticket agent by the car.I immediately ran to the car and drove off.It happened so quickly I was not even aware that a ticket had been issued.

Yours faithfully,
