This BBC story has a bizarre twist to the usual handicap parking ticket story.
Able bodied Mr. Junk left his vehicle parked only to return to it to find a disabled parking area had been painted around it - and he was ticketed.
"The lady who owns the confectionery shop had remonstrated with the people who had painted it and also with the parking enforcement people who had come to put the ticket there, but, she said, neither would listen to her," he said.
"You can see clearly from the pictures that I took that the bay is incomplete."
A Department for Regional Development spokeswoman said on Tuesday it was not "normal practice for Roads Service to paint new parking restrictions around parked vehicles." Via BBC
In any event, they plan to issue an apology to Mr. Junk.
