A couple have been hit with a £100 fine for pulling over their car outside Bristol Airport, during which time one of them was suffering a panic attack. Annie Amos, 68, says she was forced to pull over when she experienced heart palpitations waiting for her husband Steve, 65, to disembark his plane, which was delayed due to Storm Franklin.
Steve says his wife Annie paid for parking at two different zones at Bristol Airport on February 20, when he was held on his plane from Newcastle to Bristol due to adverse weather conditions. Steve, who has cancer and was experiencing severe reactions to radiotherapy, texted his wife to say he had been moved to the front of the plane to be near the toilet.
Upon receiving the text message, Annie, who suffers from heart problems, said she was forced to pull over her car as she was experiencing a panic attack. Her car was picked up by cameras and she was subsequently fined for pulling over in a no stopping zone.
