With a car choice like that there absolutely need to write disabled on the road, it was clear for all to see!

As always, the most entertaining / alarming part of a Daily Mail report are the readers comments underneath the article.

£75, so what your saying is I can just paint my own parking bay for less than what most 'parking management' firms are charging for a parking ticket. This actually seems like a great idea.

Local shop to us painted white bays outside and put up signed saying people would be clamped - Staff Only.

The council came along after someone reported the owner and they made him remove the lines , the owner didn't and after a few week council man comes back and said you have until Friday to remove them or we will and send you the bill.

I assume someone could have also reported him for criminal damage.

If the driver has tried to apply for his own parking bay, I wouldn't be surprised if they're extremely frustrated. The reason I say is that when my father was alive, my parents applied for a parking bay outside their property.

I must have been about 8 or 9 and recall the chap from the council coming out to speak to my parents about it. Even for a kid his ideas were ridiculous and his proposal to concrete over their garden seemed to make more sense to him than having some lines painted on the road. It took a lot of back and forth bullsh!t before they finally approved it.

If this guy has just gone and painted it on a whim, that's a bit mental but perhaps it's a protest at having applied numerous times and the council not being too helpful.
