The only way is (how not to park in) Essex!

Is there any wonder everyday folk get angry at people who park their cars with no regard for others? Here’s a classic – a rather dashing-looking able-bodied gent in his mid-forty’s decided to casually walk after parking his £840,000 Bugatti Veyron - within a disabled parking space in Buckhurst Hill, Essex. Not that the car wasn’t enough to draw attention to itself, the crowd it attracted also pulled no punches. Amazed onlookers made enough comments to the returning gent before he climbed back in to accelerate off with little concern for his wrong doings – but not before the nice parking warden managed to sign his autograph on the sticky ticket and slap it on his windshield first. They say money talks, well in this case, it didn’t. The red-faced driver may have dodged feeding the nearby parking meter for £3.80 an hour, but instead, he now has 30 days to pay his deserved £60 fine. Will this prevent the 1000 BHP Veyron from finding itself illegally parked elsewhere? We doubt it very much.
