The driver was fined for parking on the hard shoulder and taking his child to get some food
Hands down, and without a shadow of a doubt, one of my biggest fears as a parent and regular M6 driver is being getting stuck on the motorway.
Earlier this week a motorist was issued with a fixed penalty after parking his car on the entry slip road of the M6 near Lancaster. According to Lancashire Constabulary the driver had walked to the nearest McDonald's after finding themselves faced with lengthy delays.And, while I might not go as far as to walk to a Maccy Ds, I can completely understand why this dad decided to do what he did. I think every parent understands.
But I do wonder whether police might have been able to take a more common sense approach on this occasion - such as a stern warning. That said, within the letter of the law, perhaps they could have taken the matter further than issuing a fine - so maybe this was their version of a common sense approach.
