Ever had one of those days? Nick Palit from Penarth faced the unthinkable when he parked slightly over the line while picking up his wife’s medication, only to return to a dreaded parking ticket! 😲

Nick couldn’t believe his eyes. Despite being just millimetres over the mark, there was no budging the enforcement officer on duty that day. Nick expressed his frustration, saying, “I would have thought there’d be some discretion. It feels like they’re waiting for us to slip up.”
