Historic law that could see you fined £1,000 for car park change mistake

A law that made it a crime to ask for change in a car park is still attracting controversy after it was repealed by the government.

Section 4 of the Vagrancy Act of 1824 made it a potential crime to ask for change in a car park. Offenders could in theory be fined up to £1,000, reports Hull Live.

The Vagrancy Act was repealed earlier this month but there is concern that it could still pose problems for drivers. Many fear it will reach its 200th anniversary in 2024 before the final action is completed.
