So had to park up in Leighton Buzzard town center at the weekend. Wasn't sure how long I would be so got a three hour P+D ticket. Anyway, only used just under an hour in the end. As I got back to the car noticed someone looking for a space, waved him down as he came past me and gave him my ticket telling him it has just over 2 hours left on it. Guy thanked me and asked me how much I wanted for it? Told him nothing wished him a Happy Christmas and pulled out my space so he could park up!

I remember this used to be fairly common when I was younger and will always hand over a pay and display ticket that has anything useful left on it but he looked shocked that someone handed him some free parking.

Am I the only one who does this?

Glad to hear it isn't just me then! Luckily not many P+D machines require reg numbers around here so random acts of kindness can exist.. Didn't local authorities just publish millions of pounds in profits from parking fees?
