Irene Soeberg didn’t know “it was thing” to get pinged for parking over the line in a carpark.
The Havelock North resident was parked outside Bellatino’s Food Lovers Market in Treachers Lane, Havelock North, in a free but timed carpark.
”I was there for maybe 20 minutes. It’s a free straight park. As I drove in, there was a car to the right and left of the park. The car on the left was so close to the line that I decided to centre my car in the space that was available to me, to avoid dents,” Soeberg said.
That meant her car was over the line on the right side.
When she returned, there was a $40 ticket which read “Failed to park entirely within parking space”.
Soeberg posted the ticket on social media saying “my bad but didn’t know this could even happen”.
”I didn’t know, so I really just want to let others know.”
