Answer 1

In Mexico you'd want to pay "La Mordida". I think it's the same in Spain.

I don't know about Spain, but I know "propinas" grease the wheels in general in Latin America. - KevinB, Nov 30, 2010

Answer 2

Oficial, Estoy en camino al lecho de mi santísima madre a quien está al punto de fallecer.La cura me dijo que me dara prisa porque no le queda mucho tiempo. Le ruego que me deje pasar.....

Officer, I am on the way to my dear mother's death bed, she who is about to pass on. The priest told me to hurry because she doesn't have much time. I beg you, let me pass!

(In my career, I have fallen for some beauties! far less emotional than this one!)

Answer 3

Try this: Hola, señor/a, si me deja ir esta vez prometo no hacerlo de nuevo

Answer 4

If you've crossed the line, you'll probably end up paying, but you can always try Joe's suggestion. You never know.

P.S. The word "español" is written in lower case.
