We’ve all had the experience of parking in the wrong place or forgetting to move the car before paying. A few years ago, we could count on our luck and the absence of the police to verbalize us. But in recent years, large cities have been created automated checks, which makes things a bit more complicated. There is no longer any question of forgetting or cheating because it can be very costly. Indeed, the amount of the fine, which has become the “post-parking package” FPS, now exceeds the original 17 euros.

📰 Heavy and bulky SUVs contradict the city’s adaptation to climate change. They are not normal in a city like Paris.

Amazing PV

Currently takes an average from 35 to 50 euros for exceeding the parking lot. Suffice to say, all drivers dread getting a ticket because it can quickly put a strain on their finances. But sometimes there are still good surprises. This is exactly the case of these poorly parked motorists in Toulouse, who are quite lucky. Some actually left their car without paying enough time and apparently got fined. But what was their surprise when they opened the mail. Indeed, the amount indicated was only €0.01 instead of €30.

A little subtlety

A situation that could cause a smile, if the document was not on 4 pages, when the city has just made paid parking in the name of fighting pollution. However, this could be the end of the matter. Except that the municipality now wants its money back and intends to do so. If the city hall admits a mistake, it explains that ” the people who got this 0.01 euro FPS were in unpaid or overtime situations. They will receive it in the coming days fix with FPS in 30 €“.
