Police have warned they will issue fines to anyone they find attempting to dodge airport parking fees by using a "hard shoulder" to wait.
A driver was left red-faced after being called out for an attempt to dodge a parking fee over the weekend. After a car parked on a hard shoulder "waiting for a relative to land" at Manchester Airport, alongside the A555 (Airport Spur) road, just off the M56, they were soon shamed online.
Great Manchester Police shared a photo of the car after it was spotted by officers. The owner claimed they were simply waiting for a family member to arrive but were issued with a penalty notice due to motorway regulations being enforced.
