Motorists who park at McDonalds are being fined for outstaying their welcome in some of the burger chain's car parks.

An increasing number of motorists are being fined by third-party car park management companies for exceeding the time limits placed in some McDonald's car parks.

"I had been there for 53 minutes. I was feeding my children. One of them is only 15 months old, so is not quick at eating."
Maria PetersThe 45-minute rule
A mother in Crawley was fined £125 by Civil Enforcement Ltd (CEL) who manage the car park at McDonald's Drive Thru at Gatwick's South Terminal.

Her visit on 29 October, timed on camera, found she had exceeded the 45-minute maximum stay. Unaware of the restrictions, Maria Peters, her husband and two children, stayed for an extra eight minutes and received a fine in the post.
