Driver gets car massively stuck after trying to avoid £500 airport parking bill

Essex Police seized a car after the driver attempted to avoid paying for parking at Stansted Airport. Officers attended the car park after a vehicle became stuck after the driver attempted to drive around the barriers rather than paying an enormous parking bill, according to tweets posted by police.

Police said the driver had chosen to not pay his parking fee of almost £500 and instead decided to try and drive around the payment barriers to get out of the car park, reported Essex Live.

But his efforts weren’t successful and the car became stuck.

The force also said that when officers arrived to see what was happening, they discovered the driver was disqualified and shouldn’t have been driving the car in the first place.

Because of this, Essex Police seized his vehicle, but he will still have to pay the hefty parking charge.

Meanwhile, a learner driver in the UK was taught a tough lesson as they had their car seized after being pulled over by officers.

Police were patrolling the roads in Lancashire on Friday evening when they came across a car hogging the middle lane.

Attempts to get the car to switch lanes failed, leaving the officers with no other choice but to pull the driver over.

However, checks revealed that both people inside the vehicle were provisional drivers and so the vehicle was seized.

This week also saw a Swindon van driver rapped by police on Wednesday after being spotted eating lunch behind the wheel on the M4.

Officers from Wiltshire Police’s roads policing unit pulled over the vehicle after it was seen weaving in between lanes.

When officers looked to see what the driver was doing, they discovered that the motorist was more interested in what they were having for lunch.

The driver was issued a traffic offence report for their low standard of driving.
