An elderly man has hit out at a council for issuing an ‘unfair’ parking fine after his Land Rover was seen creeping over the white lines in a car park.Roger Murray was at the Macclesfield multi-storey towns centre car park in England when he was slapped with the $281 ticket for “untidy parking”.

A totally unreasonable fine. That spot is too narrow for anything except a geriatric scooter. FCS, Land Rovers are a skinny car and it doesn't fit. I wonder how a friend would fare. He has a 1976 Cadillac Biarritz. His pride and joy and the last of the big cruisers. It won't fit in the slots at his local Coles/K Mart. He parks across two slots so the doors can be opened and passengers get in and out.

Ridiculous! Maybe Council should fine themselves for having an untidy Carpark?


You have no doubt heard the phrases "A Pom in a peak cap. Jobsworths"? Well, now you know.

Oops, I'm guilty of worse than that.
It is true many spaces are so narrow that, even if parked between the lines, it can be impossible to open the doors without hitting the other vehicle.

Absolute crap. He has parked that perfectly.

If councils here bought in a similar law they would make a fortune, judging by what I see every time I go to the mall.

Obviously the parking sticker licker needs some common sense but what about his "Superiors"? Do they not notice how ridiculous that is & would be a waste of Council time & effort to pursue it?

Maybe it was a "Parking Infringement Enforcement Contractor" employed by council?

Even so! Common sense & Public Relations seems to have had a day off.

These guys better watch out.

Must be a Defender thing?..

***runs away and ducks for cover*** 😇

And also speaking of untidy. Those guys would get life.
