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.
The town I grew up in had meters that took pennies, which got you 6 minutes. As long as you wanted to feed the meter, you could park in that space. Southerners just nicer folks!
