A driver who visited Balmaha for a day trip with his girlfriend last summer is facing a £100 fine - after missing the time to register his car by less than two minutes.
Joe Taylor, from Cumbernauld, visited the Stirlingshire village to go paddleboarding with his partner in July last year and decided to make use of the overflow car park installed to reduce the dangers posed by illegal parking in the area.
After parking up, the pair proceeded to stay in their cars for a couple of minutes to debate whether it was the right location to move their gear from before Joe’s girlfriend got out of the car to pay.
