Furious driver who threw away £30 ticket is fined £850… for LITTERING

An angry motorist who screwed up a #30 parking ticket and threw it away has been fined £850 – for LITTERING.

Timothy Sawyer, 64, was slapped with the penalty notice by a PCSO when he parked his Ford Fiesta on a single yellow line in July last year.

A court heard Sawyer screwed the ticket up into a ball and threw it at the officer telling him: “I will f*****g well park here.”

He then drove off down the high street in the market town of Horncastle, Lincs., leaving the £30 fine lying in the road.

Sawyer refused to pay the charge within seven days and turned down several requests from East Lindsey District Council (ELDC) for the money.
