A Hove caravan owner has been left stunned after his mobile home received two parking tickets in as many days, despite it being parked on his driveway.
Julius Rost, from Davigdor Road received two £70 fines from Brighton and Hove City Council traffic wardens in the past week even though he has parked the caravan outside of his home for the past three years with no problem.
The Argus reports that tickets were issued “parking in a restricted street during prescribed hours” as the vehicle stretched out one foot onto the pavement with the rear wheels sitting on the drive.
Mr Rost told the news provider: “It’s been there for three years and I’ve never had a ticket in that time until the two last week. The back is overhanging by one foot and I think they are just trying their luck. It’s an outrage.”
A spokesman for Sussex Police told the Argus that it had not received any complaints relating to the vehicle.
