7. Good Samaritan taxi driver, Misar Ahmed, who stopped to help a woman who was ill in the back of his cab promptly, got a parking ticket as he was phoning for an ambulance and moreover, why should Mr. Misar, the hero in this matter, have to appeal to the Council to have the parking ticket cancelled?

8. Commiserations to Fred and Patricia Welch who got parking tickets after rushing a neighbour to a doctor's surgery after she had a seizure. The woman was later taken to hospital.

9. A driver's car which was hit by a suspected joyrider and had his car smashed, received a parking ticket. Craig Gillem's Peugeot was hit by a joyrider and smashed up, for want of a better word. A heartless parking attendant gave the car a parking ticket.

10. The 2,500 drivers who were wrongly issued with congestion charge fines found that the fines arose because Capita failed to switch off the cameras in Druid Street, Fair Street and Tooley Street. One would have thought that the cameras would indicate which streets the so-called contraventions took place in and it would have been easy to actually not issue or send out the fines. 2,663 innocent drivers were targeted.

11. Michael Dickinson of Hendon, who parked his car legally in the morning in an area with no parking restrictions but when he returned to his car later the same day, he found a yellow line had been painted up to his car and a ticket slapped on his windscreen.

12. Commiserations to Eli Ellwood and the Reverend James Alexander who were given a parking ticket for putting the Pay and Display ticket on their dashboard rather than on the windscreen. Paul Necus, Head of Parking at Cambridge City Council, said there was no rule that required parking tickets to be stuck on a vehicle's windscreen.

13. Dave McSweeney was given a parking ticket after his disabled badge was partly obscured by a Poppy Day badge. Mr McSweeney is registered as disabled and a spokesman for Barking and Dagenham Council came up with the most astonishing twaddle.

14. A businessman was given thirteen parking tickets in a vendetta against him by attendants and has had them overturned. Mr Yakub Ali faced a bill for £1,000 for fines but he took Newham Council to the Parking Adjudicator and won.

15. Mike Fox of Salisbury Road, West Ealing, whose car was moved so that contractors from Ealing could paint yellow lines and got an £80 parking ticket in the spot where the contractors had moved the car.

16. Shame on the parking attendant who gave a parking ticket to an RSPCA inspector who had parked his car next to the pavement to rescue an injured bird. This was not the first occasion that an RSPCA inspector received a parking ticket and apparently Camden Council is investigating.

17. Parkinson's Disease sufferer John Bell, 73, got a parking ticket from Doncaster Council, supposedly after displaying the blue badge the wrong way up. Shame on you, Doncaster Council.

18. Brewery staff who are forced to roll barrels 43 yards down a busy road to deliver them to a Cambridge pub. This is to avoid getting a parking ticket.

19. The astonishing story of Roger Sailes, who got a parking ticket whilst he was paying for a parking permit. Despite that fact that Mr Sailes had two witnesses, including an off duty police officer, Croydon Council Parking Services originally rejected his appeal without speaking to either witness. This is clearly absolutely disgraceful. Subsequently, after intervention from the Croydon Guardian, the council cancelled the ticket. There is clearly something seriously wrong in the Croydon Council offices.

20. War veterans who got parking tickets attending a Remembrance Day Parade.

21. The driving instructor who got a parking ticket when his pupil stalled during a three point turn!
