A mum who pulled over to take an emergency phone call has been slapped with a£100 parking fine.
The 36-year-old was forced to pull over in the nearest safe place, a taxi bay at Morrisons, on June 16 after she got a sudden phone call from someone who was having a panic attack. Despite being there for less than a minute, a few days later she received a PCN notice from a parking firm named ES Parking Enforcement Ltd.
The mum-of-five was appalled to discover she had to pay £100 within 28 days or £60 within 14 days and despite appealing, she was unsuccessful, LancsLive reports. She said she "was panicking" when her phone rang and parked up in the nearest safe place.
