Late for an interview is highly discouraged.
Otherwise, the employer will think that you are absolutely unnecessary person.
There are cases when an employee is recruited, even if he is too late or came in an inappropriate form, but these are the exceptions.
I will give you an example from my life.
Several years ago I was invited to an interview for a very large publishing house.
I put on my best coat for the interview.
However, on the coincidence of circumstances, in a bus crush, a few buttons at once came off the coat.
And since there was a late autumn in the yard, I had to look for a fabric store to buy buttons, a needle and a thread.
Needless to say, I was late for an interview for half an hour, and during a business conversation sewn torn off buttons.
Naturally, I did not expect to get this job, but the next day I received a call and offered a job.
Later I learned that the company's management considered me a responsible person, which is very appreciated in the publishing business.
And now let's talk about how how to behave in the interview?

Questions and Answers

And to be tactful, use the combination "Did I understand you correctly".
For example: did I understand correctly that you are interested in my education?
