In The Middle Of The Road
By waterrain
England was driving, he looked in his rear view mirror, and noticed that America was walking in the middle of the road. Not to cross, but to walk forward and a few cars were honking their horns.
'That idiot.' England briefly thought as he slowed down and mentally sighed. 'America, You tend to give me headaches.'
"What the bloody hell are you doing, America?" England asked after he rolled down his window and noticed that America was smiling brightly.
"I'm walking." America stated bluntly and he regretted leaving his IPod at the hotel.
"In the middle of the road. What is wrong with you, America? Get in now." England snapped at him, America chuckled, and smiled brightly.
"Heh, Hell no. I don't want to be charged that tax." America commented cheerfully and honestly. "Seriously, It is not cool and I don't think it is working out that well."
"Are you talking about the London Congestion Charge? It is not a tax." England told him, he received a snicker, and also a large smile.
"Aha, you admitted it is a tax by saying what when I said that I don't want to be charged that tax." America said gleefully and he ignored England's annoyed expression.
"My people know it is not a tax. It is just a fee to help with reducing traffic and it is good for everyone." England told him firmly and he heard cars honking. "Bloody hell stop with the damn noise and bugger off all of you!"
America snickered and decided to flip the drivers off while giving a charming smile. Plus blinking his eyes and laughing loudly.
"America, Knock it off and get inside already. I'm the one driving and you won't be charged, okay." England managed to say, he was growing annoyed by the moment, and some drivers were yelling at America. "America, I will take you to McDonald's and pay for it if you will just get inside of my vehicle."
America grinned as he opened the car door, sat down, and belted up while humming.
"You are the best, England." America told him calmly and added. "Just because you are buying me some food from McDonald's."
'I believe I have just been screwed over again by America.' England thought to himself, he was annoyed, stepped hard on the petal, America was cheering loudly 'This is totally Sweet', and of course England received a speeding ticket.
"So, England. How are those Solar Parking Meters working out?" America asked causally and then added. "I heard some of them couldn't work due to your gloomy weather. I guess you are not ready for Solar cause your weather sucks."
England groaned loudly, hit his head on the dash broad, and wished he had just let America walk down the busy street instead of picking him up.

The London congestion charge is a fee for motorists travelling within the Congestion Charge Zone (CCZ), a traffic area in London.
In October 2005, it was reported that two London embassies, those of the United States and Germany, were not paying the charge as they considered it to be a tax, which they are protected from paying under the Vienna Convention. Some other embassies do pay the charge. By May 2006, it was reported, the US embassy owed £270,000 in fines for non-payment. By August 2009 this had risen to £3.44 million.
The parking meter was invented in 1935 by Carl C. Magee in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States. The world's first installed parking meter was in Oklahoma City on July 16, 1935. Industrial production started in 1936 and expanded until the mid '80s.
