overnight parking on community streets is prohibited. for the purpose of this contract, overnight will be defined as the hours between 11:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. the hoa will monitor overnight parking not less than once every calendar week with nightly patrols by community security.
\in the event a car is found parked on community streets overnight and that ownership of the offending car can accurately be verified as a community homeowner, the homeowner will receive one (1) written warning asking him or her to correct the situation. a second and third infraction by the same homeowner, whether or not it is with the same car, will result in a monetary fine as permitted by cc&r guidelines and hoa bylaws. further infractions (past 3) will result in monetary fines in addition to the towing of the car at the homeowners expense.
because of the extremely low ground effects and body profile on his racing car, peter is unable to drive his car off of the street and onto the driveway. he has parked on the street overnight for the past five weeks. he has received one written warning and one monetary fine from the hoa. what consequences should peter expect after this weeks security check?
a. his car will be towed.
b. he will receive another monetary fine.
c. he will receive a monetary fine and his car will be towed.
d. a boot will be place on his car to prevent him from driving it.
- First, determine the number of infractions Peter has: He has parked overnight for the past five weeks, and the HOA monitors overnight parking at least once per week. So in five weeks, he has at least 5 infractions? Wait, no—the monitoring is "not less than once every calendar week with nightly patrols". Wait, the problem says he has parked on the street overnight for the past five weeks, and he has received one written warning and one monetary fine from the HOA. Wait, let's re - read:
- First infraction: written warning.
- Second infraction: monetary fine (permitted by CC&R and bylaws).
- Third and further infractions: monetary fines plus towing at the homeowner's expense.
Wait, the text: "A second and third infraction by the same homeowner, whether or not it is with the same car, will result in a monetary fine as permitted by CC&R guidelines and HOA bylaws. Further infractions (past 3) will result in monetary fines in addition to the towing of the car at the homeowner's expense."
Wait, Peter's situation: He has parked overnight for the past five weeks. He has received one written warning and one monetary fine. So let's count the infractions:
- 1st: written warning.
- 2nd: monetary fine.
- 3rd:? Wait, the problem says "he has parked on the street overnight for the past five weeks. He has received one written warning and one monetary fine from the HOA." Wait, maybe the first infraction is the warning, the second is the first monetary fine, and then the third, fourth, fifth (since five weeks) would be further infractions. Wait, no—maybe the counting is:
The first time: warning (1st infraction).
The second time: monetary fine (2nd infraction).
The third time: monetary fine (3rd infraction).
The fourth time: monetary fine (4th infraction).
The fifth time: Now, "further infractions (past 3)"—wait, maybe "past 3" means after the third? Wait, the text says "A second and third infraction... will result in a monetary fine... Further infractions (past 3) will result in monetary fines in addition to the towing...". Wait, maybe the first infraction: warning. Second: monetary fine. Third: monetary fine. Fourth: monetary fine. Fifth: Now, "past 3"—so after the third infraction, further (i.e., 4th, 5th, etc.) will have towing. Wait, but Peter has parked for five weeks. He has one warning (1st), one monetary fine (2nd), so the next three (3rd, 4th, 5th) would be: 3rd: monetary fine, 4th: monetary fine, 5th: Now, "further infractions (past 3)"—so 5th is past 3 (since 3rd is the third), so 5th would be monetary fine plus towing? Wait, no, maybe the structure is:
- 1st: warning.
- 2nd: monetary fine.
- 3rd: monetary fine.
- 4th: monetary fine + towing? Wait, no, the text: "Further infractions (past 3) will result in monetary fines in addition to the towing of the car at the homeowner's expense."
Wait, Peter has received one written warning (1st) and one monetary fine (2nd). So he has two infractions so far. Now, the "past five weeks" of parking—so he has five infractions? Wait, maybe the first infraction is the warning, the second is the first monetary fine, the third is the second monetary fine, the fourth is the third monetary fine, and the fifth is the one where "further infractions (past 3)"—so past 3 means after the third infraction. So the third infraction: monetary fine. Fourth: monetary fine + towing? No, the text says "Further infractions (past 3) will result in monetary fines in addition to the towing...". So "past 3"—so the 4th, 5th, etc., infractions (after the 3rd) will…
