The phrasal verb 'get away with' has two distinct uses in daily English. In the first use, someone acts unfairly, breaks a rule, or makes a serious mistake, yet escapes blame, criticism, or punishment. In the second use, a speaker selects a smaller, cheaper, or less complete solution that still meets the minimum need. This second meaning involves no wrongdoing; it simply describes a practical compromise that functions well enough.

Our neighbor parked across our driveway again, and he got away with it because nobody complained.
