A woman said she received a fixed penalty notice after parking outside her home in a bid to stop lorry drivers leaving their vehicles, plunging her into darkness.
Sarah Pitt, 56, lives in a 400-year-old cottage in Belper, Derbyshire, and in front of her home are single yellow lines, meaning it is illegal for motorists to park between the hours of 9am and 7pm.
But these rules are reportedly ignored by many, who park there for hours without punishment, Derbyshire Live reports.
