It feels good to get away with something.
Hi,
Can anyone explain to me about the sentence above?
is the phrase, 'to get away with' meaning to avoid or to go through?
If it varies depending on the situation, how would it be differentiated?
Thank you for your answer :)

As far as I know, "get away with" means not being punished for something. For example, I succeeded in getting away with fines for blowing the red light.
