Are you one of the many thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of drivers that has received a parking fine? If your answer is yes, than all is not lost, continue reading to pick up some amusing explanations as to why you should not have to pay your parking fine. These ‘reasons’ have genuinely been submitted to the London council of Southwark.
With the average cost of a parking ticket in or around London now topping a whopping 120, have to admire these unlucky motorists for trying their hand. Anyway, just what is the point of having a valid ticket when the council have now introduced a law for displaying more than one ticket in your car, even if one of these tickets is valid?
One of the more inventive motorists, trying to avoid a fine for driving in a bus lane came up with a UFO for his failure to pay his fine. The driver was so captivated by what he described as a UFO he inadvertently drove into the bus lane and was subsequently fined.
The reasons continue, another motorist declared that they were actually colour blind and unable to distinguish the colour of the yellow line, thinking it was actually a green line and presumed it was acceptable to park.
A spokesperson for the London borough for Southwark Council said that the imagination of some motorists was “quite impressive”. Some of the other reasons submitted by desperate motorists include “It was raining. I thought I could park anywhere if the weather was bad.” Another fined driver stated: “I don’t know what the yellow lines mean.”
Director of environment and housing at Southwark Council, Gill Davies said: “The imagination of some of these drivers is quite impressive, but UFOs and colour blindness unfortunately do not count as legitimate reasons to overturn a ticket.”
