And in breaking news ...

A council in England's south-east has been forced to apologise after lifting cars with a crane to paint double yellow lines along the road edge, then fining the owners of those cars after they were lowered back down.

That is all!

@ozgirl512 One for the legal people though, can you park within the gap between the lines and the footpath 😆

@SW-User Yes you can park between the yellow lines and the footpath. However you can not cross the yellow lines to get there.

What’s worse is it isn’t the first time that has happened. Once council workers didn’t even lift a car and painted yellow lines over the top of it!

Yay!!! "I'm so sorry" definitely makes everything better, right???

At least use some of the money they raked in by way of fines to buy the customers some tea and scones!!! 🤦‍♀️

@DeluxedEdition I would think the Council leave themselves open to be sued...for assault on a vehicle or at the very least touching without consent.

@DeluxedEdition but you have to recognise the absurdity of it... They lift your car up, they paint lines underneath, put your car back then fine you for parking on them... You can't make this up 😜
