A Trucking Ridiculous Parking Ticket

Here’s a story about truck driver Michael Collins who could believe the trucking ridiculous parking ticket he was issued.

He was on his way to collect a skip in London’s Belsize Park. But then, without warning, his truck lurched as the road beneath him collapsed. Unbeknown to Michael, a burst water main had caused the road to give way, creating a deep hole where the front wheels of his 17-tonne truck became stuck.

While he was waiting for his lorry to be rescued, a passing parking attendant appeared, now it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out what happens next.

To the astonishment of nearby residents and despite Michael’s protests, she stood on tiptoe and whacked a parking ticket on the trucks windscreen, uttering the immortal words, “You can appeal”.
