I managed to talk my father into giving me a ride to the station,     3     was five kilometers from our house. We planned to set out very early     4     (catch) the 7 a.m. train but the car wouldn’t start. When we finally left,     5     was already 6:30. My father is a very slow driver so I asked him to speed up. When we were doing 120 km/h a policeman stopped us and handed out     6     rather heavy fine to my father for speeding.
