I was fined £165 for blocking a driveway but my car was millimetres across it

The incident happened in Sydney, Australia and the driver revealed she’d been fined $283 for her parking, or around £165.

In the now-deleted Facebook post, the driver argued that the fine was ‘ridiculous’ as she was only ‘dusting’ the line of her neighbour’s driveway.

She asked: “This feels absolutely ridiculous and a complete money grab. Am I being unreasonable?

“My head is telling me to just pay the fine and be done but I feel like this is a real injustice?”

But the picture the driver uploaded clearly shows the rear of her car blocking part of her neighbour’s driveway.

Worse than that, the driver had parked her car there for weeks before returning to find the parking ticket.

According to driving laws in Sydney, the only time a driver can block a driveway is when picking up or dropping off passengers.

As a result the driver didn’t get the support she was looking for from people commenting on her post.

Numerous people called out the driver for her car’s positioning and for not understanding the local road laws.

One person summed it up: “The only injustice would be not paying this fine.”
