Woman Given Parking Ticket For Being 'Millimeters' Over The Line

Woman Given Parking Ticket For Being 'Millimeters' Over The Line

She's not happy.

A woman has been left fuming after being slapped with a £60 parking fine, because one of her tyres was a few millimetres over the lines of the parking bay.

Now, don't get me wrong, I hate people who park badly as much as the next person, but this seems a bit ridiculous.

Indigo have also said she hadn't correctly displayed her ticket. Deborah denies this.

Unhappy with the fine, Deborah launched an appeal, but it wasn't upheld.

In a reply to Deborah's appeal Indigo said: "Having reviewed the photographic evidence which is also attached, you have not parked correctly within a marked bay.

"If the car park is full, it does not entitle you to park in breach of the terms and conditions and alternative parking/travel arrangements must be made."

Deborah isn't giving up that easily, though, and is planning to appeal to the private land appeals authority.

She added: "I accept that my car is not parked straight but I don't think it warrants the fine I have got.

"I don't know what to say about them saying I haven't got a ticket when I did display one.

"It makes you feel like sometimes you just can't fight these big companies who really have got you, and I am sure I am not the only one."
