The law is you must move the car. You cannot feed the meter twice. Again NY I had a cop watch me double feed the meter and then write me a ticket for double feeding the meter. Respect for the law. Truth reality only if you have never dealt with it.

This was 1970 Minnesota. A nickel bought you 12 minutes on a 2-hour meter. All manual--put in the coin and turn the little handle until the coin went where it was supposed to go and the needle went to the appropriate spot on the dial. You weren't supposed to park more than 4 hours at a time at any one meter but you could add minutes at any time.
