A mum has been slapped with a fine for parking on her own driveway - but some say she deserved it.
Jäclyn Clairé was ordered to pay $283 (£151) after leaving her car outside her home in Sydney, Australia.
Her vehicle was partially overhanging onto the pavement.
Fuming, she posted photos of the fine and of how she normally parks to Facebook - arguing there is "ample" room for pedestrians with pushchairs to get by.
The resident, who lives in the city's Bondi area, wrote: "Has there been a recent change in parking on Warners Ave?
"I park in my driveway, leaving ample room for a double pram, as my car doesn't fit in the garage.
"I've never had a problem until this ticket today."
But not everyone agreed with Jäclyn.
One commenter said: “Rules are rules.
“All land beyond the garage door is Crown land.
“Car drivers need to take more responsibility with their vehicle and home living choices. If this means moving elsewhere with better parking, then so be it.”
While others were more sympathetic and encouraged her to challenge.
"Up in my street there are dozens of cars doing this [which] never get fined unless someone complains to council," one said.
A spokesperson from the Waverly Council told 7News there is currently a crack down on illegal parking, especially on "Crown land" and that where she parked "has always been a fineable offence".
"This has always been a fineable offence under the Australian road rules," they said.
"Council has previously accepted this practice as long as vehicles are not encroaching/obstructing the footpath and acted on complaints.
"Due to recent ongoing high volume of complaints from residents and NSW Fire and Rescue, action is being taken."
In New South Wales, vehicles parked outside a person's property are technically on land owned by the government or Commonwealth.
Local law says motorists "must not stop or park your vehicle across a driveway unless you're picking up or dropping off passengers".
The council had warned residents earlier this month of the parking crackdown.
Residents have mounted a campaign to challenge the new stance.
One wrote online: "The residents of Warners Ave are currently in discussion with one another with the hope to take this further with council to come to a mutually beneficial arrangement for residents, local shops and visitors."
